Comment on Notifo (YC W10) Is A Simple Mobile Notifications Platform For Anything

Comments

Hmm, anyone else actually installed this?

The concept is great but I am assuming the app is just "get it in the appstore quick". It's a little frustrating to use because:

a) it "loads" almost every screen (for a few seconds)

b) the push notifications dont go into the app automatically, they have to be loaded again when it opens. Which on 3G is a bit slow... :D

But cool concept anyway!

regarding b: this is how all push notification apps work currently. Notifications can't talk to the apps on the phone when they arrive, so they must be reloaded from the server when the app opens.

Maybe if there are background apps in the future this will be solved more cleanly.

bah, that's annoying then - I hope Apple "fixes" it at some point.

Im quite enjoying it as an app actually - I generally dont have many apps on my iPhone (because I never use them..) but this might be a keeper :D
