## What is GPS Alarm?

Features:

- Utilises background location tracking
- Retina display optimised graphics

Quick note:

It's worth noting that this app requires iOS 4 and location services to function. You must also make sure that you allow it to access your location information on initial start up. If you hit cancel you can still give it permission in your phones 'Settings > General > Location Services'.

Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

### 4/5 — Just what I need

*2011-09-06*

This app is nice and simple, just the features I need which is great.

As the review before me, it needs a vibrate only feature.

### 5/5 — Support itself deserves five-star rating

*2011-03-13*

It is one of those "once you have it, you cannot live without it" things.
By far the best proximity alarm in the app store, period.
One wish for the app: An option to set the sound to be on even when the phone is on vibrate mode.
Other than that, simply perfect! Great update.
