App on lockscreen based on location

Yes. I haven't seen any apps pop up yet though.

 

Well you have to be near a place in order for it to work so I don't know if I've been near the required places lately.

 

I don't think so. I'm pretty sure it's recommendations for store apps but you may be on to something. I'll have to read into it more.

 

It works for me. When Im near Walgreen my Walgreen card appears in my lockscreen

 

I think that's passbook...

 

Oh youre correct! Oh what OP meant was when you get a little app icon in the left corner of the lockscreen right?

When I'm in the airport I get a flight icon tracker.

 

when im at Penrith Plaza, i get Hoyts bottom left of my lock screen

 

I've noticed it twice, once was at highcross shopping centre where it popped up with the Apple Store app and second was when I went for a meal and it popped up with the Argos app (argos was next door to the restaurant)

Interestingly both of there were on my iPhone 5 running iOS 8, not seen it anywhere on my 6 yet

 

It had a Starbucks badge as I walked past Starbucks on Friday.

 

It will also show apps that you don't have installed. I was near a Best Buy the other day and the icon displayed. So I logged in and it took me to the App Store selection for the Best Buy app.
I've also had the Apple Store app and Starbucks pop up several times.

 

It works for me. If I go to dunkin donuts there app will show up on the lock screen and I can swipe right to it. If you don't have the app, an App Store icon will show up and it should open to there app in the store.

I've also noticed it does this with my pebble if it's connected but the app hasn't been opened.

Handoff apps will also show up in the same place.

 

Works for me, too. I was near an AT&T store and the AT&T app icon appeared in the lower left corner of the lock screen.

Also happened with the Starbucks app -- and my Starbucks card also popped up from Passbook.

 

Do you have to have the Starbucks app on locations always ?

 

I live above a CVS so sometimes the CVS icon pops up in the bottom right corner (i don't have that app installed)

Also I get it when I am at my university with my school's app

 

If I'm not mistaken this works based on the iBeacon technology. So it the store doesn't have that setup I don't believe you'll see an icon.

 

That might be it. I work at Walgreens, but have never seen the app on my lock screen.

 

I've had the Walgreens app on my lock screen show up when I'm near the store by my house. The store's brand new so maybe that's why.
