GeoAlerts lite v1.1 was released

I had released first lite version of GeoAlerts and received first review. I am very pleasure when user post any reviews. It helps me to make my application better. So I what I changed regards to this review in the new version.
  • extended limit of alerts to 4. To my mind it is enough for lite version.
  • description of names time range was added. I am going to add possibility to customize them in full version.
Now about time interval. I should keep it 30 min. (+/-10 min). it is requirements of phone for well battery life. User can change radius of notification area.
And one important thing. Application doesn't notify you immediately when you reach the place, it just reminds thing that you can forget to do in this place.

    GeoAlerts lite version is coming

    GeoAlerts is new way of notification. It send notification when you reach certain place. 
    This is lite version. It has next restriction:
    • You can't create more than one alert
    It's all. Full version is coming  soon..
    How to use it
    Just hold finger over place that you want to mark or press "+" button.

    Choose type of your alert and fill additional information if you need.
    Be careful with next fields: 

    Time. Field allows to reduce battery usage. Application checks phone's position only in certain time range. But application can miss alert if you set inappropriate time.

    Radius . Field allows to set accuracy. But application checks position each 30 minutes. If radius is very small you can leave it before application notifies you.

    Enjoy.
