Location-based reminders.... PLEASE

[redwritergrrl]

I am desperately in need of location based reminders; it was lost from the clock app when i upgraded from the Note 3. Have looked all over even tried app store apps. None worked for app that only rings at a specific location

ok google, then tell google to remind you when you get where you are going

I need 5 different school bus alarms set for one location (where i work) but not where i live w/o having to reset them every day or week.

I've done a recurring reminder with Google Now. Go to your reminders list and edit the one you need and there's an option to make it recurring

tasker could probably handle that

 

[redwritergrrl]

I tried Google Now but it was indiscriminate as to location. What is tasker? Will it set recurring time specific alarms that are location based?

i struggle with the app but its pretty powerful. in the end i can usually get it to work. there are a few good youtube vids on how to use it

For what you're describing, Tasker is probably the best bet. It can be a little frustrating figuring out how to make it work, though.

Does my phone have to be rooted to use Tasker?

 

[plumcrazy]

nope..

 

[redwritergrrl]

There seem to be several tasker programs and one had a warning review that it's not the real tasker. Which one am i looking for?

How about a geofence app like this one? https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...ails?id=com.apptechhk.GeoFence&token=FdMk3Uft

Not sure if this would do what you want. "IF" by IFTTT in the play store. IFTTT stands for IF This Than That. To learn more go to https://ifttt.com

Try IFTTT If then, then that. I set up location based actions to turn off my wifi when I leave the area around my house and to turn it on when I enter the area around my house.
