Lessons so far:

People use geofenced Reminders MUCH more than I expected.

And I never knew what would happen if you set both a time and a location, e.g. "Remind me when I get home at 9 PM”, so I tested it.

I expected it to be AND logic, so that would fire at the next occurrence of me being at home after 9 PM.

But it's actually OR logic! Apple Reminders will alert you when you get home OR it becomes 9 PM, whichever happens first.

Which I don't think is intuitive. It certainly wasn't for me.

@marcoarment I use geofencing for shopping lists… ‘remind me to get eggs when I’m at Whole Foods’. ‘Remind me to get lightbulbs when I am at Home depot’.

It knows the places (maps integration??), and I suddenly have a running shopping list.

@octothorpe @marcoarment Siri will probably assign locations to branches in a different state
