Wake Me There - GPS Alarm

Needs polishing. Once you pass a place and get an alarm, the alarm turns off. So if you pass the place again without turning the alarm back on, you won't get notified. Also, in Android 12, the location can only be enabled while the app is running. Which means, if the app is not running, you're not going to get notified. It does not notify from the background. And lastly, if notifications are turned on, which they have to be, it puts an icon in the status bar, which is annoying.

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)...
