Hi nick.henry,
Thanks for your feedback!

Right, getting in the car to go into town is a once-a-fortnight or so thing for me. Something like this would be very handy. Unfortunately once I've gotten in to town would be late. So some sense of where I'm GOING to be would be useful: I could check "things to do when in Wallingford" as opposed to "things to do where I AM".

martinpacker,
For your uses, you may wish to use the Locations view to look at a map overview of where your tasks are.

Hope that helps!

Posted 2 years ago

I completely agree with the op.

When I stop by the grocery store, I want to feel a buzz in my pocket that says "Get razors."

If locations could be grouped, it would be even more super awesome.

Also if the location of a particular task was near other tasks, it would be cool to get a notification that says, you're doing X task, there are Y tasks near X task.

Yes, this feature would be fantastic :-) +1 vote from me!

Posted 2 years ago

Absolutely important feature. I would love it. What would help in addition to that is a function activate this feature on a per-task basis.

Just as a side note - there is an app called "Task Aware" that does just that.

I got it and tried it and removed it in 2 days.

Why? It needs to have location services permanently in the background.

What this means for most people: I work and go to school, so I am out all day. I depend on having my phone functional and I usually have to charge it each night (though sometimes I can get away with two days)

With taskaware, at 7am my phone was t 100% and at 230pm it was under 10% and alerting me. This was with little usage - maybe 10-15 text messages and checking emails once after hour or two. Very very light usage.


So - while i would LOVE the feature, it has to be done right (and not sure what "right" would be here) or it will make the entire app useless for most people.

Posted 2 years ago

I think having location aware task notifications would make RTM into a super killer app for mobile phones. You could even have it for lists...like Groceries, for example...if there's an item in your grocery list and you go by a grocery store you could get notified.

As for the battery life: I've had Google Latitude running on my iphone with background updating and the battery on my iphone4 was able to make it through the day (although I don't make calls very often). Plus I think this would be some thing that I would turn on before I go out to do errands and then turn off after I got home again (and maybe the app could do that too! -- turn off background updating when you arrive home).

Can we get a confirmation from someone at RTM if this is in the pipeline?

One thing worth mentioning is that such alerts would need to be implemented with some smarts. If I have a grocery list with forty items on it, and I arrive at the grocery, one buzz to nudge me to look at my list may not be necessary, but it would be helpful. Forty separate buzzes would be overwhelming.

Posted 2 years ago

Uh... the Android app has had this for months - it works great. I tag my grocery list with the grocery location and when I park my car - voila it's there!

Posted 2 years ago

mrathee

could not emphasize this more - SO useful - had a dedicated app to do this for a while and it was great. too bad the app didnt use RTMs list lol

This would be huge for me to remember my tasks. there have been countless times that I have driven by a post office or specific store when i needed to mail or return something, only to remember when i get home and take a look at my @home tasks.

andyjpowell_work

Does the iPhone even allow apps to monitor your location at that level, without having the app actively running / checking location all the time? I think this is more likely an Apple issue than an RTM issue. :(

I'm waiting. Anytime but somewhere I have to do it at, it's so useful.

Posted 1 year ago

This is a pretty important feature since it is quite unpresidented and is clearly something that will become quite useful and probably attract immense popularity. Considering what any said, surely it is nice to have it remid you but maybe there should simply be a view that would be similar to "Tasks near me".

Looking at the newest announcements from Apple, it looks like they also took notice of this thread... ;)

I agree this for me would be my number one request. Especially since it's coming in iOS 5 as native functionality.

Posted 1 year ago

I think this should be possible and is a good idea. It is one of the features that the new iOS 5 task app will have.

Posted 1 year ago

matthauger

does iOS 5 have an API for third-party developers to take advantage of location-based notifications?

Posted 1 year ago

location-based notifications is good, but I am afraid it will consume more power to do that.

narkeeso

I've been using the iOS Reminders app that is built into the new iOS 5 and it's no replacement for RTM, the only redeeming feature is it's location based reminders.

http://cl.ly/2B2M1D2B2z3R2p0D3M1o

Please add this feature!

Posted 1 year ago

jared.cherup

After watching the keynote for iOS 5, I was astounded. It's one of those "Hey, we're living in the future" things. Then I found out the Android version already has this. Please implement this for iPhone, before this Fall. I promise to give everyone high fives.

Posted 1 year ago

sebastian.lenk

I definitely would LOVE such a feature. To be honest most of my todos are bound to some location. But please: Remind me every time I arrive at a certain location and some todos are due. Like in Minesweeper: One step forward > Ah! Three mines > One step left > Uh, 2 mines > and so on ...

Posted 1 year ago

I'd also love to see this. My problem with making lists is I always forget to look at them. Its fine for lists with definite due dates but a lot of my to do lists are location based.

Posted 1 year ago

Please add it. :D

Georeme is a good solution.

Posted 1 year ago

This would be HUGE. The only thing that the iPhone Reminders app that is coming out will have that RTM doesn't have is location reminders. This would set RTM above the rest by leaps and bounds.

What is the point of locations if it doesn't alert me when i'm there? Please make location awareness notification available!

Posted 1 year ago

nick.henry

So word is Apple is planning on implementing this very feature, which RTM already supports on android, into their next iOS update. Supposedly in the next week or so. That's all fine and dandy, but I would much prefer to stick with RTM, which I know and love (and pay for). Seriously guys, what is the hold up?!?

Posted 1 year ago

dburdi

I guess the next question is whether or not Siri with location awareness is something that is going to be considered in the next (hopefully soon) update to RTM for iPhone?

Siri looks appealing and I'd hate to nit see it compatible with RTM. Is the API from Apple even open to that?

Posted 1 year ago

kevin.fagan

It looks like omnifocus for the iPhone has introduced this feature so there must be support for it in the iOS 5 SDK. Would be an awesome feature for RTM to have too.

Posted 1 year ago

papzadsl

I assume you know well API on iOS 5. Among them, there is this geo-fencing one, which allows to use GPS/cellular data to pinpoint your location and trigger an event (i.e., an alarm).
It is something used by built in ToDo new app and the soon-to-be-released "Find my friends" app.
My question: do you plan to implement this one with local notifications on iOS 5?

Posted 1 year ago

alecbrown

People keep speculating whether this is possible with iOS5, it has been available since iOS4. The 'significant change location API' is available, what you have to do it provide a delegate to the CLLocationManager class and calling the startMonitoringSignificantLocationChanges() method.

Documentation is here:

Another comment - locations view is, obviously, useless once you're already on the road. That's what an iPhone app is for. When you're not on the road.

Posted 1 year ago

Please don't make me switch to the new tasks feature on the iPhone. I LOVE RTM but really, really, REALLY need location awareness! Please.. I'm not going to beg. Ok, yes I am. PLEASE!

With Apple's Reminders App now offering Location reminders, and RTM having Locations, I hope it's only a matter of time before the RTM iPhone App gets this feature!!! Please.

me as well. it's the one thing about RTM that could really add functionality. till then, i will be forced to use Apple's new reminders for location based tasks. it's so Fischer Price, but location based alerts are unbelievably helpful!

I agree. I consider myself a power RTM user; I use the RTM app on my iPhone 4, use the gmail plugin and use RTM with Dial2Do. I now also use location based reminders on my iOS5 device. To have location based tasks within RTM on iOS would propel this application to powerful new heights.

RTM team: thanks for all the support and work thus far R. You guys are awesome :)

+1. Game changing possibilities here - don't let 'em pass you by.

Posted 1 year ago

+1. This has to be a matter of when, not if, location-ware reminders are enabled. If you have the ability to do this now, it would create a lot of buzz among new iphone users, and probably generate a small rush of new customers. What ken.katen said: don't let it pass you by.

Posted 1 year ago

+1. First post suggesting this was 10 months ago. Is there any information of when/If this is going to be available.

Posted 1 year ago

+1. Really need this to stay competitive. Location based reminders are a key advertising point for the iPhone 4s/Siri.

Absolute requirement for next versions of your iOS app to integrate with LBR seamlessly.

+1. I love remember the milk but you guys really need to stay ahead of the curve on stuff like this. You ARE a REMINDERS app and business and things like this should be a primary focus. Apple barely cares about their "Reminders" app and they have this feature.

I don't understand why this thread is here. Like Yonah commented on this thread several months ago, RTM does have location-based notifications. I've been using it on my Android phones for quite a long time (way more than a year, I believe).

Posted 1 year ago

I would like a multi-location option for tasks that could be performed in any of several places -- like my local grocery stores. It seems now that I need to choose only one store for notification.

I just want to chime in, saying how great this would be. I use Apple's Reminder app for this purpose, and having to switch back and forth between that for location-based todos, and everything else on RTM isn't ideal.

Could the Siri integration be extended, so that the Reminders app has access to a particular saved search within RTM?

Then the Reminders app can be responsible for alarms, notifications, and location-based stuff (which it's great at already).
