Notifications missing :(
Please, add the notification options!
Need Push Notifications
Missing push notifications, this is a critical business function, eagerly awaiting release so we can begin using the product again. Will gladly update the review upon release of the notifications feature.
Good start
No iPad support, needs notification server properly wired up as I do not get notifications. Incredibly difficult to wire up to remote agent on another machine, does not easily allow revocation of other devices that are logged in, and there’s not really a clear agent instruction as to wire itself into Buzz.

Still using it but please bring notifications on IOS app
Buzz has huge potential, but notifications need to be the #1 priority
We moved our entire company from Slack to a self-hosted Buzz community, and overall we genuinely like the product. Messaging, channels, the native apps, and the self-hosted experience have been working well for us.
The biggest problem — and one that I think could hurt Buzz adoption while there is so much momentum around the project — is native notifications.
In-app notifications work, but reliable device notifications do not. If Buzz isn’t open, our employees can easily miss messages. For a business communication product, this is a critical feature rather than a nice-to-have.
For self-hosted communities using the official Buzz mobile apps, I would strongly encourage the team to prioritize the remaining push-notification work, particularly:
#5206 — self-hosted relay + official iOS app push support
#7682 — mobile RelayConfig reconnect loop preventing reliable NIP-PL lease publication
#6092 — Android FCM/client push implementation
#3229 — FCM transport in the push gateway
The recent NIP-PL and push-gateway work is very encouraging, especially now that end-to-end push has been demonstrated against a self-hosted relay. What we really need next is for this to reach the official App Store/Play Store apps, so users of self-hosted communities can receive reliable background notifications without maintaining their own mobile builds.
I think this deserves very high priority. Buzz has a lot of attention right now, and companies like ours are willing to move away from Slack. But if employees miss important messages because the app was closed, businesses may have no choice but to move back.
We want to stay on Buzz. Getting reliable notifications into the official apps would remove by far the biggest issue we’ve encountered with the migration.

Incredibly promising, lots of bugs
Buzz is theoretically amazing and potentially the best available way to collaborate with multiple AI agents and people. Having said that, there are still lot of bugs in both the desktop and mobile apps, but particularly in this mobile app. This app also lacks lots of the settings available in the desktop version, and doesn’t send notifications properly. If they can fix all this, it will be great!
