App Description
Proximity is a location-based alarm that allows you to set *where* you want to wake up, as opposed to *when*. Even those of us that don't have a daily commute have experienced issues with public transportation. Whether it's running too early (ha!) or too late, it's never quite on time. Hardly something you can set your watch to, so why set an alarm to it? Proximity lets you set your alarm for your destination, not the time you'll get there, so even if your bus is running a little bit late, you won't miss your stop.
Simply find your stop on the map, drop a pin, and you're on your way! Even if you fall asleep, Proximity will wake you up when you reach your destination. Proximity even works when you're playing your iPod music -- just start your music before launching Proximity.
WARNING: Proximity is highly contingent on being able to get a location reading from your iPhone or iPod touch. Please make sure you are able to get a location reading in other applications (such as the Maps app) before purchasing Proximity.
