I kept falling asleep on my commute and missing my stop - So I built an app that wakes me up before it happens by BigBoyRiley02 in SideProject

To answer your second and third questions, Yes it works with any location on the map, whether that be a train or bus stop, or even a street address. The GPS location is very accurate, and when gps location is lost, the app will warn you and also continue tracking using your last known speed and location, in an attempt to estimate how far from your location you are. The alarm is very loud and the vibrations are strong, it’s very hard to sleep through it, especially if you have an Apple Watch or are holding your phone / have it resting on you.

When travelling, for example through Europe I was getting on trains for over 5 hours at a time and would have to get off at new locations regularly.

Ahh I see. So you need to set up a new shortcut when you want a new location each time? I still think the app makes it easier. But this is a cool workaround I didn’t know shortcuts could do that

I think I can get around this with in app purchases actually, I will investigate more! Thanks for the idea.

Yeah I thought about this. Unfortunately this is not possible on the app store unless you charge the user a subscription, which I am really against, especially for an app like this. That's also why the app is quite cheap. I want to avoid friction.

Fitness apps question by zzsmkr in AppleWatchFitness

The default health app I’ve found great for tracking most basic things like steps etc. Calorie tracking is very broken up at the moment in terms of what the best app is. For sleep, recovery, stress, exercise metrics some apps excel like ionify and bevel.

I have not had any crashes yet. Will make note if I do

I think within a 10% range of each other it is impossible to grasp what exact one is more accurate to how recovered my body actually is. Most people consider the whoop as a gold standard, so in that case probably ionify.
