Wake Me There - GPS Alarm

I use this app mainly for proximity alerts (I rely on the system app to time-based alarms). Here's what I like: 1) Can define multiple alarms and activate them at user's choice (even more than one at a time); 2) Can set alert to trigger on approach or leave; 3) Tells how far you are from target area; 4) Can use different tones for each alarm; 5) All main features (mentioned above) are free, even though there are ads... but it's acceptable; 6) Premium version is not so expensive. What I don't like: 1) GPS access is quite frequent: user should be able to set the polling time (i.e. define number of seconds) in order to save a little battery (of course, it would just be matter of finding the right balance between precision and power consumption). In the past, I used other apps with GPS polling set to 30 or 40 seconds, and never missed my stop! :) 2) Italian translation is quite good but can be improved. How could I help? Guys, this app is well done and has some potential. Keep up the good work!

I've used a bunch of other location-based reminder apps, but this is THE ONLY ONE that actually alerted me EVERY TIME I entered the perimeter. For that reason alone, I give it 4 stars. Massimo Mula's review was spot-on for all of the +'s, but for me to pay for the premium version, there's going to have to be more than ad removal, themes, and sorting. As one user suggested, and I'll add a little to the suggestion, it would be nice to have the ability to automatically turn the alert on at a specific time. And, here's my addition...on certain days. I only need to use this app (so far) on Fridays after 12:00 pm. I hate having to manually turn this on whenever I need to use it. Add that feature and I'll bump the stars up to 5 and purchase the app, too! EDIT #1: Dropped to three stars because my alarm doesn't go off often, too. And, yes, my GPS does work. Waze works fine without any problems in the same area the alarm should go off. EDIT #2: Downgraded to 1 star. All of a sudden it decides to make my phone vibrate a couple times every 5 seconds or so. Happens whether the app is in the foreground or running in the background. Time to start looking for someone else's app. EDIT #3: No reason to email developer, the explanation is right here. It ONLY happens when WMT is running. I stop it, it stops vibrating. Simple as that.

Update #2: when it works, it works reasonably well. When it doesn't, it either turns on when it shouldn't or doesn't when it should. Very unreliable. Update: I reinstalled it and CONFIRMED it had all the permissions under the sun, shy of naming my first born. It appears to have worked this time, albeit while I was active on the phone. My guess is the reinstall helped. I'm upgrading the stars to 3 until I confirm that other aspects function (and reliably)...
