Getting reminders to use time AND location in IOS 7

When I set a reminder for a time, 1 pm, Thursday and a location, home, and I arrive home at 12:01 am Thursday morning IOS 7 will trigger the alert which is obviously not the desired behavior. I don't remember this working this way in IOS 6. I recall IOS 6 wouldn't alert until both conditions had been met which is the desired behavior. Is there a way to fix this in IOS 7 or will installing IOS 8 fix the problem?

Also, are the badges for reminders fixed in IOS 8?

iPhone 5, iOS 7.1.2

If you have set an alarm for a specific time, then all conditions should be met before the notification is triggered.

First read Apple's KB article: iOS: Using Reminders

And then this nice Guide on iDownloadBlog.com: http://www.idownloadblog.com/2014/05/17/ios-7-the-ultimate-reminders-app-guide/

If still having trouble, you can try resetting your iPhone by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.

Try again to see if the problem persists.

I've reset it many times but I tried it again and the problem remains. It treats the conditions as OR instead of AND.
