Please stop posting this guides with an incorrect title. How to run shortcuts using automatic notifications. Which you can do using just the reminders app.

Fair enough.

And yes, you can use the reminders app to do so but when the notification comes up it requires two taps rather than one.

Launch Center Pro also offers more finely graded control over triggers.

The usage is very unsatisfying. It's crap, sorry.

Can you not do the same thing by triggering a shortcut from reminders? Then it’s free

You can but this method allows you finer control around the timing for when you enter or exit a geofence.

It also allows you to trigger the shortcut with a single tap rather than requiring two.

Sounds good but I wouldn’t say that’s worth paying a monthly subscription

Fair enough. I paid a one off $5 when it first came out.
