It worked perfectly, and you fell for it.

 
With respect to the checkin feature, there are at least 2 known methods for
the iPhone (& vastly greater methods available for Android owners).
 
1. Apple's rather limited checkin oneshot which is native to iOS 17

2. A developer's functional checkin/checkout oneshot and/or repeater
    <https://www.iamherezone.com/>
 
3. The vast modern advanced automation features available in Android.

What is a fact is all exist (although the iPhone lacks modern automation)
which is on-topic value that none of you Apple zealots knew anything about.
 
Anything else the Apple religious zealots retort is off topic for this
thread and hence doesn't add any useful technical value of merit.

As someone who claims to understand OSes and technology better than
"children" I'm surprised - actually I'm not - you've completely
overlooked Apple's Shortcuts and Automation features. Clearly a sign of
someone who doesn't actually use their Apple devices for anything other
than to find problems, and not solve them.

You'll find that the in-built tools are more than capable of achieving
what you claim is deficient. All without using a poorly rated,
unsupported, 5 yo, third party (cr)app. See the for the in-built Travel
Triggers which will work perfectly.

You claim to have an elderly relative that would benefit from having
such a facility on her iphone. I look forward to hearing how it works
out for you/her. I won't hold my breath, however...

I mean if it was genuinely important to you you would have found out how
to do it over the *three and half years* since Shortcuts was built into
iOS. It was an separate app for *three years* prior to that.

Yet over several days of looking for an iOS solution all you can come up
with is an untested, unknown, and unused app. Doesn't feel like "value"
or "truth" from here. More like "wilfull incompetence" and "axe-grinding".

When your single goal is zealotry, you don't find actual solutions to
problems. Arlen proves his ignorance and stupidity every time he posts.
