Ah, just wrote a flattering post here on it, but wasn't aware it still had the manual approval issue which is unfortunate. I understand it for some things like When I arrive home, since otherwise when I'm outside running loops by house, each time I come by the house it would open the garage which wouldn't be good, but so many other cases where manual approval seems odd, and at least should be able to approve with with one click on apple watch with out having to open the notification then approve.

They could implement to run automatically for the first time and them need approval in the next 30 mins to avoid spamming.

Foursquare third party clients during its hey day that did auto check-in would have a cooling off period of X minutes or hours not to check-in to same location again.

Apple could do something like that. Probably a bit more sophisticated.

Apple watch is a great idea! I wish they had a shortcuts app on the watch too.

Hopefully they'll have the notifications there, if they don't already.

Notifications (in general) are mirrored between phone and watch, so they do show up on the watch
