### 5/5 — Perfect to avoid missing your stop

*2019-02-27, version 1.9*

Easy to use and reliable.

### 5/5 — Don’t miss your stop - get this

*2018-03-23, version 1.9*

Pretty much exactly what I was looking for! This app does the job, and does it well. So glad I found it.

### 5/5 — Wonderful

*2018-02-19, version 1.9*

If you live in NYC - must have app. I take the bus to work every day and this is a life saver, never oversleep ever again!

### 4/5 — Well progged app but i have an idea?

*2018-02-03*

Can you please add more than one destinations? The app does it better like others. Especially in the Lock screen. but the Problem is i need more than one alarm. Maybe 10 or unlimelited would be perfekt.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2017-11-21, version 1.9*

Does what it says it does simply and easily.

### 5/5 — Simply Amazing

*2017-09-30, version 1.9*

After some hard late work days or even late nights it's hard to stay awake on the train back home. I can be rest assured this alarm will ring before I reach my stop and wake me up! It has saved me countless times! OmniBuzz ftw! 👌

### 5/5 — Works great!

*2017-08-26, version 1.9*

I've looked all over for this exact GPS alarm clock app after moving to SF and this one works perfectly. Thanks for creating this great app!

### 5/5 — Works as advertised

*2017-07-19, version 1.9*

After oversleeping my stop a couple times, I found this app and couldn't be happier. The app helps wake me up on the bus in advance of my stop and it hasn't failed me yet. The alarm is based on location, not time since traffic may delay arrival at a particular stop. Clever!

### 5/5 — Works well

*2017-03-29, version 1.9*

Easy to set alarms, and it works well. Hasn't failed me yet and allows me to get some extra 💤

### 5/5 — Perfect App

*2017-01-16, version 1.9*

Always works. Simple to use.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Critical but not fixed

*2018-05-17, version 1.9*

This app has a HUGE bug in that the alarm does not consistently trigger any sound while you are watching a video or playing music. If you fall asleep with OmniBuzz on the background the alarm may not trigger enough sound to wake you up!! I've reached out to the Developer months ago and this is still a glaring issue.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2017-02-09, version 1.9*

Nicely designed but it simply doesn't work. Made sure location services were enabled etc., but the alarm doesn't sound when I reach my destination.

### 2/5 — Please update

*2018-06-29, version 1.9*

Needs an update to iPhone X standards.

### 3/5 — Phone great. Watch no

*2024-10-04, version 1.11*

Works as advertised on the phone. Zero issues. Watch has never worked. Screen is black with the app. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Doesn’t work

### 3/5 — Only one Pin

*2019-08-29*

I need more pins on map.

### 3/5 — So so

*2018-11-23*

I want buy you application

### 4/5 — Could be great

*2025-11-25, version 1.11*

This app has been created by someone who cares and it works well. Maybe its because i have an old IOS but there is no way to delete set locations and the independant volume doesnt work.

### 4/5 — Best app Location Base Alarm

*2023-02-28, version 1.11*

It is really unique and has better feature then IOS 16.3 when comparing to setup location based reminder in phone. It is worth to be a paid app.

Request developer to update In compliance with latest IOS. It is not working on Apple Watch , on iPhone the needs to be running to make it work otherwise no alarm.

Please provide following features 
1. Setup to create multiple location so user will  enable when needed rather each time to create one. 
2 Make it work in background, then no need to run app.
3. Way to delete/purge created location in history. 
4. Apple Watch, I can see icon, but no alarm or map on watch screen.

### 4/5 — Great App

*2018-11-09, version 1.9*

Does exactly what it needs to do. Really basic interface.... almost too basic.

### 4/5 — Ideia

*2018-06-29*

I had the same idea yesterday, I am glad you have implemented. Just a tip to waste less energy. If the app is in the background, you can estimate the distance and change the frequency of the polling based on how close it is from the target. That way when you are far away you do just a few checks and increases as it gets closer, just wasting energy when necessary. 😁

### 5/5 — Cumple su función

*2022-12-29*

Tal vez lo único que podría mejorar es que puedas añadir tus destinos a alguna parte de la app, ya que solo puedes seleccionar el destino desde la barra de “ubicaciones recientes”.

### 5/5 — Does exactly what I wanted, genuine review

*2022-04-22, version 1.11*

I was very keen to find an app that woke me up on the train before I got to London Bridge station.  I tried another app called Wakemehere which was ok but was let down by the following
1. No customised ringtone
2. The vibration didn’t last long at all

I then tried Omnibuzz and it worked very well.  You can change the radius (not that obvious though) which was handy. It would be good if the radius didn’t default back to 1000yards each time but kept the last change.

It woke me up through the headphones and kept vibrating. Perfect 

I would definitely recommend Omnibuzz

### 5/5 — gps alarm

*2022-03-02*

Прекрасное приложение для тех кто лучит поспать в транспорте! Особенно радует оповещение и точность срабатывания)

### 5/5 — The Best

*2020-07-18, version 1.11*

Tried them all, deleted the rest.
Intuitive and simple.
Free.
No ads or locked features, just free.

### 5/5 — Extremely useful

*2020-02-04, version 1.11*

I can now sleep or focus on something else without having to worry about missing my stop

### 5/5 — Finally updated!

*2019-12-15, version 1.11*

Great app keep it up!

### 5/5 — Easy & precise

*2019-10-02*

It does what it promises in a simple way.

### 5/5 — Simple and Effective - - perfect!

*2019-09-29, version 1.9*

Not cluttered with unneeded features or ads, this app gets to what you need in just a couple of clicks. Routine destination alarms show in “recent alarms”, and they remember the unique distance circle you set for each one. Vibrate and/or sound alarm options, plus a couple of other options. That’s about it!  Doesn’t eat up battery, and hasn’t failed me yet. 5-stars!

### 5/5 — Best app as it does what it says on the tin.

*2019-09-23, version 1.9*

Never has this app let me down,
Spot on alarm when near my chosen map reference.  Excellent 5 stars.

### 5/5 — Amazeballs!

*2019-09-18, version 1.9*

Reliable.  So handy on the train to make sure I don’t wake up in another province!  Thank you!!
