Whenever you're near any of the locations you created, you'll be reminded to complete tasks specific to that location. The app's clean interface offers a title area, notes, arrival/departure and the ability to set an alert a few minutes after you arrive or depart an area. Once you set up your favorite areas, double-tap them to assign tasks or to-dos. Add as many locations as you like each selection allows you to modify the radius size of the geo-fence, as well as the exact point of the location.īy default, the first thing Checkmark encourages you to do is to create favorite locations by tapping the Add Location button on the upper right - you can add locations using Apple's Map services, add your current position or import a location from your Contacts list. These locations can be anywhere you choose, including work, home, frequent shopping spots, banks, gyms, airports, hospitals or anywhere else you visit. Checkmark's strength, though, is its ability to sort tasks by locations. Like other task managers, Checkmark allows for time- and location-based reminders. At the bottom of the screen, there is a toggle button that lets you view different types of reminders, aptly described as Where and When. On the upper right, there is a button to add locations. Views can be toggled by tapping a button on the upper left. There are two main views for this app: a default icon view and a list view. The one thing I liked right away was Checkmark's simple and elegant interface. On first launch, you're greeted by a friendly setup wizard that makes you choose between miles/kilometers, followed by a hint to change app settings within the iPhone's Settings.
