GeoAlert http://opetopic.com/geoalert Location aware alarms for your iPhone, by Opetopic Thu, 15 Jul 2010 13:44:40 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 GeoAlert update submitted http://opetopic.com/geoalert/2010/07/12/geoalert-update-submitted/ http://opetopic.com/geoalert/2010/07/12/geoalert-update-submitted/#comments Mon, 12 Jul 2010 16:54:41 +0000 Brandon Williams http://opetopic.com/geoalert/?p=58 I have just submitted an update to GeoAlert. It includes a few new features and a few optimizations.

  • You can now specify the proximity to an alert (between 250 to 2000 meters). However, due to the nature of location multitasking in iOS 4, you should only use small proximities for areas that you have strong cell reception.
  • A short message can be attached to an alert, and it will be shown when the alert is triggered.
  • GeoAlert now correctly unregisters itself from location multitasking if there are no active alerts

I have also decided to release a free, ad supported version of GeoAlert. It has also been submitted, and so hopefully it will be available in a week or so.

As always, feel free to comment on this post or email me (feedback@opetopic.com) if you have any questions or suggestions.

This update just fixes some graphical problems 1.0 had with the retina display on the iPhone 4. Everything should be nice and crisp now.

The 1.1 update for GeoAlert will be coming soon with some new features.

If you use the app on the iPhone 4 you might have noticed that some of the artwork on the starting screen of the app is a little blurry. I had forgotten to include the high-res artwork for the retina display. All is fixed now, and more features will be coming soon.
