So simple yet difficult

Unable to get the actual notification to my phone.
Even though my phone is set to loud badges and notifications. The app never makes a noise or show a notification has been received. Desperately need this to work but no luck

Nice app, but needs a usability improvement

I appreciate that a free app is basically someone's hobby. I'm grateful for having this. But why do so many apps insist on cutting off long labels with ellipsis and make my it impossible to read the full label?

This app requires use of obscure topic/channel names. Okay great, but how am I ever supposed to retrieve the topic if there is literally nowhere in the UI where it is displayed fully?

Suggested improvement: extend the topic display to be dynamic text and not a limited one line label. having multiline topic is essential.

Simple and brilliant

It’s not trying to be a multi-tool. It does its one thing - providing an endpoint for mobile notifications - very well and free of charge or advertising. Thank you!

The perfect solution

This solves a simple yet pervasive and valuable problem darn near perfectly.

Great
