Glarm: Location-based alarms 4+

Great, and could be even better

Wonderful app that seems to be as reliable as can be.

The critical functionality that this app lacks is the ability to schedule a repeating alarm.

I believe this could be accomplished by adding Shortcuts support. This way, users can make a shortcuts automation to schedule an alarm.

I wonder if the developer can add this in for us?

Thanks for making the app!

Thanks for your review!
I’m already working on new update that will include the option to set repeating alarm without using Siri shortcuts, although those could definitely enhance the app a lot!

Nice start!

Neat app. Really like the idea, and am excited to see what new uses for it I come up with (beyond the ones I already have in mind).

Some suggestions for future releases: please add the ability to choose

- custom text that appears in the notification when the location perimeter is reached
- any sound from the user’s ringtones as the alarm
- whether the alarm should go off either as the location is reached or when it is departed from (or both)
- whether the alarm should be a one-time alarm or ring every time the location perimeter is crossed

Also, it would be nice to have a visual indication of the size of the perimeter when choosing the perimeter radius.

Neat idea, just needs more tuning

Great idea as many have said. But really needs fine control. I want to be able quickly and easily set an alarm when I go into a building, a house, a business, a store. Even the smallest area I can set requires multiple zoom in steps and an inaccurate slider that still sets something too large.

Let me drop a pin and set a default 25’ around the pin and leave it at that. Quick. Easy.

Add categories for alarms, along with default settings for distance and sound.

Good app thought, can only get better.

PS. I’ve been using since first version and features aren’t unlocked. No big deal, I’ll be buying it when it gets better.

Thanks for the suggestions! I admit that in current state the app is better suited for longer distances but I’ll see how I can provide better control over setting desired distance
Categories sound like definitely useful addition
