Hello is it possible to create a app that has a timer that will be triggered based on gps location? In other words. the user will have a app that has location tracker activated, so as soon as the user arrive example their workplace it will begin track time and stop as soon as the user leaves the location ?

    Hi @Anonymous 

    Unfortunately, it's not that viable to build this type of application.

    As I mention in this thread, an app will not collect location data when it is not running in the foreground.
