Still Solid!

10 years(!!!!!!!) since the last update and Prowl is still dependable! My only wishlist item would be customizable icons honestly, none of Prowl’s other UI holdovers from yesteryear bother me at all. Reassuring to know this app will never have “Liquid Glass”. But choice of icons would be a great add!

Perfect for notifications

Love this capability... wrote a Python script to push notifications from Raspberry pi projects to my phone, works great.

Awesome with a few caveats.

This application is absolutely awesome. However, it is need of a serious facelift. Would be nice to have a dark mode and some additional sounds. Praying the developer sees this. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

What can I say?

I’ve used Prowl for over a decade and what can I say about it?

It just works! I’ve never identified a failure. How much better could it be? It couldn’t with that kind of track record!
