Today the modern smartphone is a real assistant, and it’s almost impossible to do without it. To organize your day or tasks and tasks without writing them down is sometimes difficult, so you need to set reminders on your phone. Reminders help you remember important events, such as birthdays, anniversaries or appointments, things to do on a certain date and time.
If you’ve ever heard of location reminders, you probably know how useful and convenient they can be. For example, on Apple’s iPhone and iPad devices, there is an option to share the alert service and geolocation service, which means that you can program reminders on your mobile device that are tied to a specific physical (geographic) location.
For example, if you want to pick flowers on your way back from work, you can set a new location-based reminder that goes off as soon as your car approaches the market where your favorite flower store is located. Or, if you have something left that belongs to your friend, you can set a reminder to see it whenever you’re near his house.
