User reviews

it simply doesn’t work

The notifications are accepted by the server, but you have to manually refresh the app for it to see them. Also, “clear all notifications” is a lie — if you delete the app and reinstall/resubscribe, they all come back, indicating that the server stores them indefinitely.

actually good

I needed push notifs for my code and gpt recommended this and honestly its pretty solid the notif came almsot instantly, within 2 seconds of the code being turned on so id call that a win
