Ratings and reviews

Significant delay. When this app runs in the background, there is a big delay in the notification. half the time, I've already long missed my stop. love the idea, and everything in the app looks clean, really wish it worked. I paid for the full version, but will probably have to request a refund edit: customer support was very helpful in refunding me, and also i will be allowed to try the beta, which will hopefully help the issue. I've upgraded the amount of stars. thank you!

this simply doesnt work. when you get to the key location where youre supposed to get a notification, the notifocation never appears. it knows ive reached the location, but no notification. RESPONSE TO DEV: ok ill try that

Absolutely brilliant app for van life in Australia. I use GPS Alarm on long drives to remind me about fuel stops, rest areas, campsites, shops, lookouts, and places I don’t want to miss. It works reliably across big distances, is super battery efficient, and the customization is amazing: radius, active hours, repeat alarms, sounds, voice alerts, TTS, everything. The developer is also super helpful and clearly cares about the app. A must-have if you’re travelling or living on the road!
