Road Rooster Pro - Geo Alarm

在你的口袋里一个应用程序，提醒您当您接近目的地

Road Rooster Pro is a successor of Road Rooster, a location based alarming system. It makes use of Google's fused location API to create a geofence around the destination. The radius provided as perimeter is the lowest bound for triggering an alarm. Whenever the devices comes within the range, Google's location service informs the same to the app. On receiving, the app triggers an alarm - letting you know that you have reached your destination.

With this upgrade, Road Rooster Pro supports an Aggressive mode, which will force request user's location periodically. It comes in handy in cases, the device goes to deep sleep mode. If you are having trouble with alarm getting triggered, you can give it a shot. Other reasons include availability of gps, power saver settings, etc. For smaller perimeter, the app needs better accuracy, thereby can miss a place if signal is not strong. On other hand, block level locations can be determined by cellular / wi-fi networks. Therefore it is suggested to use roosters with larger fencing radius to increase success rate. Oh by the way you can always snooze it thereafter ;)

For the roosters to work correctly, you are requested to keep your location services turned on during the transit session. In Non Aggressive mode, the app leaves no background services and hence does not eat up your battery. But tracking location itself is an battery expensive procedure and hence can drain a little more juice out of your box.
