Excellent app

Does what it says on the box, easy to integrate nice work

Super cool app

I built a platform for my team and I get notifications when they finish their tasks it was super easy to build.

Perfect

Does what I want it to do without complications

Does its job!

Great tool

Yes! Its a keeper!!

love this app using in tandem with weather program for severe weather warnings/- works perfectly!

Fantastic

This is great. I run this alongside docker for windows and after some tweaking(windows side) it just works. Bravo 😊

It just works

Plenty of support from other tooling (Kuma Uptime, etc ). A simple REST interface means you can send notifications in your scripts using curl. What more could you want? Seriously if you’re looking for more than this, you have a different use case.

No banners or notifications

I see the alerts if I check the app itself but no notifications. All are enabled and persistent

Need Time Stamps

I love ntfy and the fact that I can self host it. It has been absolutely amazing! I do wish that there were proper time stamps for previous day notifications like there are for the same day. I can tell exactly what time I received a notification if it happened today, but anything prior to today just says yesterday or the date I received it. I hope this is implemented in the near future.

Im not a bot

Very good app! Dev actually listened to feedback and applied a suggestion. Extremely useful tool. Probably one of the best apps for iOS and beyond!

Notifications send silently on iOS app, fix the bug

Great!

I was just thinking about how great this app is. For free too. Love being able to send a small notification infrequently- and at no cost. Works great for hobby coding projects!

Lightweight and works great

Just what I needed. Delivers messages rapidly without all the unnecessary fluff.

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.

Just the right fit

Love how simple it is to integrate and get to work for tasks that I keep forgetting

Easy, simple, and effective

Very easy to set up. Lightweight yet versatile enough to easily build effective alerting into observability routines and automations.

Great app but missing key features

Thank you for making this app and keeping it free. Very useful in my homelab home assistant self hosted setup.

Missing key features:

1- Fix badge notifications not working
2- Enable the user to rename and reorganize his topics
3- Enable notifications control per topic. The minimum viable product would be to at least being able to silence a topic so the user is informed only when he opens the app. More control would useful to take avantage of the priority setting (which make no difference today) and make this app 6/5 stars.

Thank you!

Amazing

Very very good app for codex tasks that you aren’t watching

Waste of time during emergency

The app sent alerts but without any sound. I checked and made sure nothing is on mute, everything was loud and clear yet no sound during test or after. Waste of time!
