About this app

Tired of missing your bus stop or train station? Don't Miss the Stop is a GPS location alarm that wakes you up when you're approaching your destination. The perfect commute alarm for anyone who rides public transit and wants to rest worry-free during the ride! Works offline — no internet needed.

🚌 HOW IT WORKS
Setting up is quick and easy:
1. Open the map and search for your destination or tap directly on it
2. Set the alarm distance (from 500m to 10km)
3. Activate the alarm and relax — the app handles the rest!

Don't Miss the Stop uses real-time GPS tracking to monitor your location and triggers a loud alarm with vibration when you're close to your stop. Unlike time-based alarms or a regular alarm clock, our location alarm works perfectly even with traffic delays, detours, or route changes. You'll always get off at the right stop.

⭐ KEY FEATURES
• Save favorite locations — home, work, school, gym, and any frequent destination
• Set a custom alarm radius from 500m to 10km for each saved location
• Schedule alarms automatically for each day of the week — set once, forget daily
• Run multiple alarms at the same time — perfect for transfers and multi-stop routes
• Loud alarm with strong vibration ensures you wake up even from a deep nap
• Choose your preferred alarm sound from all available ringtones on your phone
• Headphone mode: play the alarm only through your earbuds so you don't disturb fellow passengers
• Vibration-only mode: discreet alerts for crowded trains and buses during rush hour
• Works with bus, subway, metro, MTA, BART, Caltrain, Metra, LIRR, NJ Transit, light rail, ferry, and any public transit
• Smart GPS tracking keeps battery usage low during your entire trip
• Low battery alert: notifies you before your phone dies

🎯 PERFECT FOR
• Commuters who nap on the bus, train, or subway during their daily ride
• Long-distance riders on commuter rail, Amtrak, and express buses
• Travelers exploring unfamiliar cities who don't know the stops
• Students and workers commuting every day to school or the office
• Night and early morning transit riders who need a reliable wake-up alarm
• Anyone taking light rail, metro, BRT, shuttle, or rideshare to a specific stop

❓ FAQ
• Does it work underground? — GPS signal may weaken in subway tunnels. The alarm recalculates your position as soon as you return above ground and triggers normally
• Does it drain battery? — Smart GPS tracking minimizes battery usage. For a typical 1-2 hour commute, the impact is minimal
• Does it work offline? — Yes! GPS works without internet, Wi-Fi, or mobile data. Perfect for areas with no coverage

💡 TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS
• Use headphone mode during rush hour so you don't bother other passengers
• Save your most frequent destinations as favorites to activate alarms with one tap
• Schedule alarms for your weekly routine so you never set them up manually again
• Set a larger radius (2-3km) if you need extra time to prepare before your stop
• Enable vibration-only mode for late-night rides when you want to stay discreet

Ratings and reviews

Great app, pretty much exactly what I was looking for. Would be 5/5 if you could chose more precise distaces to trigger the alert. The gap between 200m and 500m is too large, it would be nice to be able to type a number. Also kinda nitpicking but if swiping away the notification canceled the alarm that would also be nice. If you swipe it away by mistake you have to go into the app to stop it. ALSO a feature to simply notify without alarm would be great as well. 👍❤️

used to be amazing. now you need to pay for more than two stops.

If you are a commuter and regularly miss your stop, this app is a true game changer. It truly takes the stress out of napping on a train or bus. It's such a good idea that I was considering writing an app myself for this exact purpose. However this implantation is so simple and effective, I don't see the need to look anywhere else. Thank you!
