Q: How to set a location based reminder every day

How can I set a location based reminder every day when I get to work? I'm using iOS 10. I might get to work anywhere from 4 to 10am and I don't want the reminder to go off if I don't go to work on a particular day.

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 10.0.2

    In "Reminders" choose "Remind me at location"

    For example, I set a reminder up for the movie theatre, so that when I walk in I get a reminder.  So I turn my phone to silent.

    TThat works fine for a single reminder. I need to be reminded every day when I get to work. The only way to do it is to specify a time. I don't want the reminder to go off if I don't go to work. So if I select repeat everyday I get reminded still even though I never go to work.

     

    how can I do a daily reminder which reminds me when I get to work and doesn't remind me when I'm off that day?

    What is it that you want the reminder to remind you of (e.g. is it to lower ringer volume while at work)?

     

    While the answer might be none of my business, the reason I ask is that I considered something similar to remind me to lower the ringer volume while I am at work.  Coming from Android, I would have preferred a time-scheduled solution to lower volume during the weekday and raise it back up in the evening but alas, no such app for iOS.  The next best thing would be to lower the volume when I go to work and raise it when I leave.

     

    I found an app in the app store called "Auto Mute By Location", which does what it sounds like it would do: when I am within 200 meters of work, it will lower the ringer to 20% and raise it to 75% when I leave.  You can set it to mute/unmute instead if you like.  I'm not going to go into a great amount of detail since I don't know what the daily reminders might be for -- whereas my reply is focused on lowering the volume or muting while at work.

    Update: there are a few location based reminder apps in the app store.  Possibly one of those may meet your needs.

    JJust to do paperwork when I get. It's a daily truck report. problem is i might start at different times and have different days off.

     

    YOu you can set a location reminder for a day and it works great. Once u say every day then ur required to attach a time to it and it seems to fire off even when I don't go to work.

     

    it needs to meet both requirements as it says in the reminder. Don't fire off the reminder if I don't go to the location i.e. I didn't go to work.

     

    the other apps just piggy back off of iOS as far as I can tell
