Why a clock alarm is unreliable on public transport
Travel time changes. Traffic, delays, route changes and faster-than-usual service can make a clock alarm early or late. A destination alarm follows where the journey actually is.
Made for buses, trains, metros and coaches
- Search for your station, stop or a nearby landmark.
- Choose a wider warning radius for fast trains or unfamiliar stations.
- Select and preview the sound before arming the alarm.
- Use repeating schedules for regular commutes.
Will it ring when the app is closed?
With location, notification and alarm permissions enabled, LocatAlert can show a full-screen alarm with sound when the app is closed or your Android phone is locked. The app guides you through battery settings that can otherwise stop background alarms.
Give yourself enough warning
Choose the radius for your route. A nearby radius can suit a slow bus in a city; a wider radius can give you more time on a fast train or coach. GPS timing depends on signal, speed and device settings, so leave a sensible buffer.
