Today we are going to explain how to set a reminder so that our iPhone notifies us when we arrive or leave a specific place. For this we are going to use the application LOCALSCOPE, which we told you about a few days ago.
What we want to teach you with this is that we have the possibility of telling our device to remind us of something when we arrive at, or leave, a certain place. For example, we can program the iPhone to remind us when we arrive at a shopping center that we have to buy batteries.
This option is extremely useful and as soon as you get a feel for how it works, I'm sure you won't be able to do without it.
HOW CAN I SET A REMINDER WHEN ARRIVING OR LEAVING A PARTICULAR PLACE?
As we told you, we are going to use APPerla LOCALSCOPE .
As an example we are going to create the reminder that when we are in the C.C. GRAN VÍA (Alicante) the iPhone alerts us with a notice saying "Buy alkaline batteries for remote control".
We open the application and when entering, click on the search option:
Once inside, we will choose a search engine in which the place where we want to set a reminder appears. Keep in mind that each of the search platforms that appear can show us different results. Our favorites are FOURSQUARE, YELP and QYPE.
Found the site, click on it and access more detailed information about it. We go down the info until we find the option « ADD REMINDER «.
Click on it and configure it by giving it a title and choosing if we want it to notify us when we arrive at the place or when we leave it. Once the reminder has been created, click on the confirmation button that appears at the top right of the screen.
To verify that it has been created perfectly, we will go to the native app « REMINDERS » and we will see if it has really been created or not. In our case it has.
We have to say that for this to work, we'll need to give the app permission to access our reminders.
After all this, we will only have to get to the specified place, or leave it, so that our device notifies us of the created reminder.
As you can see, it is a function that will come in handy, especially for people who are a bit forgetful. This tutorial can also be used not only to remember purchases, but we can remember anything we want.
If you try this utility you will be surprised at how well it works.
We hope we have helped you discover another utility that we can give to the reminders of our terminal.
