    Yes but I wasn't going home, I was going to Home Depot, the hardware super store. She should know the difference.

    Good. Now I don’t have add another reason that I was found dead to my list of things my brain is either unable to or falsely remembers.

     

    But I also vaguely remember it not actually ever working before. “Remind me when I get home” and “Remind me when I come back here” never actually did so...


     

    I was in err; it was iOS 5. 5 I tell ya!

    And even though it has worked for me on occasion, it doesn't work now anymore. Or, I would;t know, I gave up on it.

    Yeah, she printed it out on the screen correctly even capitalizing the name of the store. She just didn't pay any attention to what she wrote.

    Supposedly they are working on context. Here's hoping that will work soon!

    This worked for me:

    https://www.reddit.com/r/ios9/comments/3og6qp/no_more_location_based_reminders/

    If you have an Exchange account in your mail settings, you have to turn off reminders for that account specifically. Go to Settings --> Mail, Contacts, Calendars --> (your exchange account) --> Turn Off reminders.

    Next, open the Reminders app and Turn on "Remind me at a location". (This option would not have been available before above steps). Phone will prompt you to allow Reminders to use you location.

    Note: the option will not be available under privacy settings until you activate it in the Reminders app.

    Hope this helps!
