Features
Read full description

Almost There! wakes you with a strong vibration when you're almost at your destination, so you never miss your stop again. Built for seniors and long-distance commuters: dead-simple to use, hard to sleep through, and reliable in the background. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick where to get off: by bus stop, metro station, or straight from the map. 2. Drag to set an alert radius, previewed live on the map. 3. Tap start, put your phone away. It vibrates when you're close. FEATURES . Strong vibration alert that ignores the silent switch and keeps going in the background. . Find your stop by bus route or metro station (Taiwan transit via TDX). . Pick any destination on the map with automatic place lookup. . See the previous/next stops and the real stop location while setting the radius. . Save favorite destinations for one-tap reuse, organized in folders. . Time windows so it only alerts during your commute hours. . Auto-detect favorites passively in the background. . Share destinations with family via QR code; one scan to import. PRIVACY No backend, no data collection. Your saved places and trip history stay on your device and are never uploaded. Your location is used only on-device to measure distance to your destination. NOTE . "Always" location access is required to wake you in the background. . Alerts trigger on your own approach, not live vehicle positions. . Background scheduling may be slightly delayed in rare cases. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
