About this app

NEW VERSION AVAILABLE NOW!

Have you ever fallen asleep on the bus, train or metro and passed your stop?. This problem now has the perfect solution with Ultimate GPS Alarm.

Select a location, ringtone, vibration and distance and sleep without worry. When your location selected is near you, the alarm will sound avoiding you to miss the stop.

And you will ask me, does it drain my battery?.You can say NO. It's design and advanced implementation allows you to save every volt of your smartphone. It works with GPS but also with Network, selecting the best location on each moment. If you don't move it does not consume your battery checking your position.

To use network location you might accept Google's policy on:
System settings -> location -> Google Location (this menus could change between devices)

The only use made ​​by the program on user's data consumption is made ​​when managing maps, so don't worry about it so much.
Try it and you'll be satisfied with its excellent performance.

I'll be glad if you comment and contribute to this application with new ideas that I will implement as soon as posible.

Ratings and reviews

Unfortunately it does not work anymore, said it was for an earlier version of Android, tested for a few days, could not get it to work at all. Allows me to add locations, set alarm settings etc, just does not alarm at all, even when open in the foreground.

Would be higher rating if 1) alarm could be configured to auto-rearm (snooze) after x hours/minutes or at a specific time in the day and 2) create an alarm when leaving a zone, not just entering. So far seems to work as long as you remember to rearm later.

The application is grate! I just wish the alarms could auto-activate once one is out of the activation zone.
