Locale worth $10?

[coolkidd]

anyone tried to update their free locale? I tried mine but it will cost me $10 to update it now.....

So, to get it out of the way $10 was steep, but Locale has been working for me quite well - so well that I almost don't think about it (but it did take some time to configure/set up).

My question on the app is the "Airplane Mode" - I am sure I am just missing something but would I set up a "situation" named airport that has Airplane mode enabled and that would automatically turn off the phone and internet. . .but if I set it by the airport address and I am just sitting at a gate waiting to leave, I would want the phone and web accessible and only when I am on the plane would I turn those features off. . .so what am I missing? Why use the plug in and not just do it via the menu/settings? What am I missing? (Sorry for the long post).

Those that have it; what is the power usage? It just occurred to me that is would have to be operating in the background, checking your location.

It took up like 5% I think when I was using it.

I wish it was $5 and I would really get this app. I just can't see spending $10 on an app for a phone. But I guess if it works as well as everyone says, then maybe that justifies the price. I'm not sure though.

I got it for free but I love it. It takes some tweaking to get your settings to work correctly but once you do it is so nice not to worry about your phone settings. I also got my wake on lan to work so I don't have to wait for my work computer and home computer to start up. Well worth ten bucks if you can set it up right.

i have it sitting on my computer with like 300 other apps i "found" for free...i still doubt i'll install it.

Just confirmed on my Droid that Locale is taking 3% of battery.

I love it, Just set it and for get it! I love that you can decrease or increase the radius to fine tune the location settings. I have it set to just cover the building I work in, so it will go silent the when I enter but turn everything back on when I exit the building.
