Set the "where" alarm radius for as small as 25 meters 2. Relocate the pin when creating a location. I can't do either of those in Checkmark 2. They were important features to me, and I feel as if I've paid $3 to lose functionality for the sake of a prettier app. ### 3/5 — Pretty good, needs improvements *2014-03-31, version 2.0.2* I like this app, but a few things need to be added. 1. Recurring Location based reminders 2. iPad compatibility, I would expect a paid app to function in both iPhone and iPad 3. Smaller range for location based reminders, 100 meters seems a little large 4. An urgency rating that shows whisk things are more important 5. Recording tasks showing up in "done." If a recurring task is done, I want it to show that I completed it that day, then clear it when the day ends 6. Location based reminders that only go into affect during a certain time frame. Ex: remind me to clean house when I get home between 3 and 6 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays every week. 7. Maybe an additional color theme (optional). This certainly isn't something that would determine whether or not I buy an app, but I still think it would be nice to have. Other than that, great. It seems like I brought up a lot if things, but the app is very functional, and I wouldn't have realized those things were missing if the app hadn't already had some of the features it has. I love the app, but it could use an update. STILL WORTH BUYING ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY *2021-05-19, version 2.5* Abandoned. Hasn't been updated since 2014. Apple's own Reminders app now does what this did. ### 1/5 — Silly *2019-05-15, version 2.5* No way to limit location alarms to AM or PM for your morning and evening subway commute. iGeoAlarm discovered only after I bought this dumbed down app. ### 1/5 — Not recommended *2019-05-05, version 2.5* Update 2019: do not buy this app. I don’t think the developer updates it any more, and it is riddled with so many bugs and problems it is essentially useless. This app is very pretty. That's really why I bought it, since Reminders is sufficient for my needs, but ugly. Well, it turns out I swapped looks for function, and it was definitely not worth the $. First, a lot of people love the location based reminders, but I cannot use them at all. All of my "where's" keep occasionally activating when I'm just sitting at home. Maybe just a bug which will get fixed? Maybe. Next, and most important to me, Checkmark 2 cannot do two simple things that reminders can: you can't check off a recurring task until after it is due (no getting your tasks done early!), and you cannot add a task without entering an exact time. Sometimes I want to see a task on my "When" list but don't yet know the exact time I want to schedule it for, so that's a bummer. I regret the purchase so far. Reminders is better. I hope to see improvements because I do like the way this app looks. Update: I am now able to check off tasks which I complete early. Hooray! Maybe further improvements are on the way too? ### 1/5 — No updates for 3 years? *2018-07-13, version 2.5* It would be nice for a paid app to be updated more than once in a 3 year period. Had an iPhone X for 8 months without a hint of a compatibility update. ### 1/5 — Forgets Reminders *2015-12-07, version 2.5* This app worked great when I first got it, but then it kept forgetting reminders. I would arrive at a store and the alarm would chime, but every reminder would be deleted. Then, it wouldn't keep a reminder. After deleting and reinstalling, it worked for about two months and then started deleting reminders again. ### 1/5 — Lost All My Data *2015-10-31, version 2.5* Upgraded to a new iphone using icloud backup from 2 hrs earlier. This app did NOT save my data. All Checkmark data got wiped on my new iphone! Poor design by apparent amateur developers. ALL my other apps and data came through just fine. Go figure. ### 1/5 — Loved this app until... *2015-10-19, version 2.5* It deleted all of my reminders and locations. :( ### 1/5 — Was Great until it deleted all of my lists *2015-04-18, version 2.5* I had been happily using this app for months until today and I opened it to check off an item and all of my lists and appointments were gone. ### 2/5 — Inferior to previous version *2016-08-01, version 2.5* The previous version was great. The rebuilt, iOS 9 optimized version is terrible. The location-based reminders never work. My phone will stay in the same spot but I'll continue to get location-based reminders as if I'm just getting to the location. It's so maddening, I've uninstalled this version and kept the old version. ### 2/5 — Can't keep it together *2015-09-18, version 2.5* I love this app. But I'm deleting it because when you update the iPhone software you loose ALL reminders. If your reminders are important, this is bad. It happened 2 times in a row... so ..... So sorry. Will miss you. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Try this one… *2018-12-28, version 2.5* Nice and simple, easy to use and pretty. Will not disappoint 😊 ### 4/5 — Smart geofence. Reliable recurring reminders *2019-01-17, version 2.5* Bought this years ago and one of my longest apps in use. Ability to make sets of geofences and then trigger them as one is so fundamental. Apples own reminder geofence doesn’t work. This one has been on the mark every time. Wish there were a way to trigger in sequence (eg when driving) for app to know which way I am moving. Use it for reminding me of waypoints when crossing certain bridges and other driving routes. Also use it for recurring reminders like pay this bill on 23rd of month and then can snooze as many days until I do, and it’s automatically reloaded to remind me next month. ### 4/5 — Stopped working with iOS 10 *2016-09-26, version 2.5* This is a very helpful app since it uses google maps and quite reliable around the world , apple maps doesn't, but since the last update it stopped alerting please fix soon. ### 4/5 — Good App But Tough to Leave Reminders *2015-02-15, version 2.5* This is a great app that gets better. Where it doesn't have reminders flexibility it does make up for it with power. It would be nice to reorder locations. That's my one (current) gripe. All others were fixed in ios8! ### 4/5 — Needs recurring location based reminders *2015-01-27, version 2.5* This app is everything I need in location and time based reminders. The only thing it's lacking is no recurring location based reminders. Yes of course you can ignore the reminder but when I arrive and leave a certain location multiple times a day it can get annoying. Until a recurring location based reminder is implemented this app will continue to be 4 out of 5 stars in my opinion. ### 4/5 — Nice App *2014-12-12, version 2.5* Really like the look of this app and it has great features overall. Would love to be able to add time based reminders under list items and would be a 5 star app for me. ### 3/5 — needs some work *2015-12-09, version 2.5* snooze options are 1 minute or 1 hour. really? let’s get realistic folks! should offer 1 min, 5 min, 10 min, 15 min. also, snooze should only change the current alarm, not every future alarm for recurring reminders! ### 3/5 — Great but ruins audio... *2015-01-19, version 2.5* This app is exactly what I needed. But it has a glitch that when you are listening to music and a reminder comes on, it lowers the audio of iTunes, but it doesn't raise it back up again! Without noticing you will turn up your headphones again, then when you get a call it will be super loud because you adjusted your audio level. It's so close to being an amazing app, but has this fatal flaw.... ### 3/5 — Buggy and inconsistent *2014-12-14, version 2.5* Entries disappear from notification center and the app badge keeps changing. Very inconsistent and unreliable with iOS integration. But once you are inside the app, the organization and user interface are great. Needs work. ### 3/5 — Works, but crucial limitations *2014-12-11, version 2.5* It is good for quick entry, but a couple of things are missing when compared to similar reminder apps: - iOS reminders integration - unified list It is especially frustrating that I can't see (nor move) tasks between my "lists" group and the "where" or "when" groups. That is, I can't add a time or location to any tasks categorized into project lists! Many other apps do this and more (Gneo, priorities, Gotasks) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
