Description
Spoty is a location based reminder,location alert,call blocker, profile changer all based on geofencing and proximity.MAKE SURE YOU WATCH THE TUTORIAL!! Use our other app Fake GPS to test the Spots, make sure to restart the service (enable app under settings) before you test.
When Steve Jobs introduced the Location based reminders built in iOS5 everybody was impressed.
However, at that time, Spoty was already a top featured app on the Android Market. Spoty is the best location based application for Android!
With its advanced battery management you will never again need to disable the GPS chip on your mobile.
Your phone will never again ring at the cinema or at meetings. No spam calls during office hours or at night. Block calls, remind yourself to buy something when you're near the store or send SMS to friends/family near a location.
Change ringtone and vibration,wifi and bluetooth based on your current Spot.

To test the app initially:
- Make sure you have enabled both Location providers in Android Settings (for best results)
- Press the current location icon and wait for your your location to be found,add a Spot and a Reminder by pressing the Home icon.
- Restart (if running) or Start the Service by long pressing on the Home icon.
- A reminder will fire, if not email us and we will assist you.
- Download our app Fake GPS to test other spots.
Features:
✔ Add Spots by double taping on the map and moving the pushpin,search for an address, address from your phonebook or using your current position and add reminders, change profiles or block calls for this position
✔ Choose to use GPS or Coarse (Cell Tower or Wifi) positioning, with both being set up by you.
✔ Time intervals and distance for each location update and your battery will thank you for that.
✔ Send SMS to someone when you are at the current spot or when you leave it.
✔ Enable start, end time, days of week and if you want to fire the events when you enter or leave a current location.
✔ Radius for each Spot its category and color flag.
✔ Notifications include normal Android notifications and a custom alert dialog.
✔ Block all calls at your office for instance, or choose to allow from your address book, block restricted numbers, white and blacklists and delete the traces from the call history log.
✔ Sleeping in the bus or train and missing the station?No problem, set an alarm and add a Spot and a radius and you will be notified right on time before you have to take off!
✔ New-custom locations. Add Spots based on current WiFi connected or WiFi/Cell Towers in Range. Please read the FAQ section for best practices.
✔ You are now presented with the ability to enter a Battery level, below which the app will not use the GPS chip. Once you charge your phone the GPS positioning will fire again and you will not have to worry about missing Spots.
✔ You can also disable the GPS for a time range of the day . A good example is if you're at the office and would like to disable GPS if you're not using Spoty for that proximity. You can enter 9-17( use ; for multiple ranges) and the app will stop using GPS and save your battery and will fire once again when you leave the office. Another good example is while you sleep
✔ You can add GPS timeout - Spoty will look for a GPS fix for a certain amount of time and stop if no fix is found - saves battery.
✔ App auto detects if you're staying at the same place for too long and disables the GPS.
Geofenced reminder.

App controls vibration settings - Nexus 4 Unsure if this App actually works on not. After installing this App took control and disabled all vibration notifications. Uninstalled spoty and they all came back. Waste of money. Would have given 0 stars if possible

Hard to configure There is virtually no documentation to guide you. Had a lot of features but I couldn't get it to work right. I'm uninstalling it.

Lot of feature but not friendly... A lot of feature but very hard to configure... almost no documentation except youTube video... I contacted developer to share issue, idea of development. Developer complain about number of stars I gave... I hope they will improve anyway... For now I uninstall until new update...

Worked intermittently! Had too many problems with this app on my Samsung galaxy s3, and missed many notifications. Noticed that the GPS was not being turned on from this app. Tried other notification apps and although not as many options as this one I didn't miss notifications. Sent emails to get support and not once received a reply. The only way I could get the app to work was by toggling the use GPS flag under location services which would work for a while then revert back to problems. Uninstalled and awaiting updates?

Exactly what I needed. I often forget things I have to do, even on a short car ride I used to try regular reminders, but I . So now I can set something to remind me as I approach either my destination, or as I'm about to pass something I'm supposed to remember (like the bank). Only reason I don't have 5 stars is it requires GPS to eat up my battery, and it was a little hard to figure out.

Great idea Searches don't work and you cannot have an action for arriving and leaving a location without setting up a second action point next to the first. Has a lot of potential though. Looking forward to improvements.
