It's a great app that doesn't seem to affect battery life like Locale may or may not have for some users (me!)

2. The hero requires the battery to boot, if you let the battery die, you have to leave it plugged in long enough for the battery to have enough charge to boot the phone. You may also notice the charge light goes off when you turn it on.
sarspants, thanks for the comments. I will check out timerific!

On point #2, I think you might have misundertood my comment...I never let the battery run down. I turn off the Hero before plugging in the charger every night. It never runs down to where it shuts off by itself. My point was simply that I turn it back on BEFORE unplugging the charger in the morning...and the charge light indicator stays green until I unplug it after booting.
