I’ve got three different tasks I’d like to perform. I’ll assume this’ll require the use of three seperate apps.
The first one. I would like to be able to find pics on my device and google plus cloud account that were taken in a specific GPS coordinate. I geo tag my pics. I would like the app to search my photos and only show me the ones that were taken near a specific location. Like i could type in a city or place or GPS coordinate and a list of pics taken near there would display.
The second one. I want it to remind me the next time I go to a specific store (or kind of store) to get a specific item. Like I’ll type into the app “get mouse traps” or “get softener salt” and the next time I’m at a hardware store my phone will alert me with the message.
Third one. Email app that will place email sent from a specific person or persons automatically into a seperate folder and also automatically download any attachments they sent to a specific folder. This would come in handy for work related emails when someone sends a document (pdf) that may take a while to download when you need it. This way the email body and doc will be sorted on your phone, easy to find, and ready to open when you need to access it.
The second item sounds like a location based reminder app might work but I’m not sure if any of them can correlate an item in your list to a category of store. If they could I wonder if “water softener salt” would take you to a hardware store or grocery store or maybe even a tropical fish store. You might have to set up the relationships manually but a good app might learn your preferences or habits.
For number 2, Google Now does it. If I use voice activation to open Google Now, I just say “Ok Google. Remind me to buy shampoo when I’m at the supermarket”. It pops up a confirmation box with the text “Buy shampoo”, and a drop down location list of nearby supermarkets.
Actually, it gives me its best guess for where I mean, and I can use the drop down box to enter a different location.
" Remind me to buy mouse traps when I’m at the hardware store" didn’t work for me. It tried to set it up as a time-triggered event rather than a location event.
" Remind me to buy mouse traps when I’m at Bunnings" worked, and mapped to my nearest Bunnings hardware store.
" Remind me to buy mouse traps when I’m at Home Hardware" worked, but set the location to the store thirty minutes away instead of the one a block over. I tried "Remind me to buy mouse traps when I’m at Home Hardware mytown “, but that still gave me the other location. " Remind me to buy mouse traps when I’m at thestoresnamebeforeitwashomehardware” mapped to a different location too.
Fyi, for number two;
It might be days or weeks until I really need the item or actually go to the place that sells such things. I just don’t want to forget to pick up the item when I finally make it to the store for possibly other things. I don’t need to get there “now” or even today.
