### 5/5 — Won’t open on 26.6.2

*2026-08-17, version 5.0.6*

Love using Pushover for sending myself notifications through various projects such as Home Assistant and some custom code I’ve written for things. Unfortunately, after upgrading to 26.6.2 it will no longer open. Nothing happens, just won’t open. No other apps exhibit this issue, push Pushover.

### 5/5 — Perfect API

*2026-08-11, version 5.0.6*

Truly amazing app

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2026-08-11, version 5.0.6*

Can’t get better than this when you need immediate notifications with no network lag. And for 5 bucks it’s a steal

### 5/5 — Great value

*2026-07-27, version 5.0.4*

For five dollars lifetime (per OS/channel) this is an unbeatable value

I use it for my personal projects and it’s very helpful for things like monitoring my homelab

Thanks dev team!

### 5/5 — Top class app

*2026-07-22, version 5.0.4*

Well done pushover on a class app priced extremely sensibly.  If you need notifications on some software then this is just for you.

### 5/5 — Life saver

*2026-07-20, version 5.0.4*

This is the best thing that has happened to IPhone. Thank you so much for building this app. Lots of love.

### 5/5 — Worth every penny

*2026-07-17, version 5.0.4*

I use it to receive push notifications from custom web apps. Works great, easy to set up the app on my phone and use the API from my web apps. 100% recommended.

### 5/5 — Great opp

*2026-07-13, version 5.0.4*

Well worth supporting!

### 5/5 — Really useful app

*2026-07-04, version 5.0.3*

Great app for working with IA agents and DevOps

### 5/5 — Fast Notifications

*2026-07-01, version 5.0.3*

My email client only polls for email every 20 minutes, and for some internet forums I want to know IMMEDIATELY when someone replies to something I have written. Notifications in pushover appear to happen instantly, which I love.

The only thing I wish was better is make it quicker to delete all pushover messages. Currently I have to long press one of the messages, wait for the "Select All" button to appear, then press "Select All", then press "Delete". So for example, if "Select All" was always visible instead of having to long press, that would be acceptable. 

Thank you for making this 🙂
