Help with Locations
wheretheskygrows says:
hey guys, I'm trying to get the locations function to work for me, and I'm a bit confused. I checked the FAQ/Manual, and can't seem to wrap my head around alerts when I'm at a location.
I'm using an Andriod phone, and the app is set up to alert me when I am near a location. OK great. But can it alert me when something is due there?
For instance, I seem to be getting alerted to tasks when I am at the location, regardless if I need anything there. Can it be set up so that I only get the alert if the item is due?
Getting alerted that I am walking near a grocery store doesn't really help. But if I have a task (buy milk) that is due, and I get alerted of this when I'm walking by the grocery store, then that's better.
Am I missing something blatant?

The function "Location alerts" is seriously broken if this is the case. This functionality was a really important reason for me to switch to the pro account (for getting the Android app). Now I always get alerts when I walk by the grocery store, at my desk at work, at the gym, even when there is currently nothing to do at this location. "False" alerts are not really better than no alerts at all, IMHO. Please fix this :-)
Thanks for your feedback! I'll make sure the development team gets this for review.
