If you want people to approve notifications don't just throw up a permission dialog at startup, let them use your app for a bit, and when they make an action that will cause notifications to be needed ask them then after telling them why you want to use push.
Saying "you can just delete the app" seems to be missing the point somewhat. There are many games that I enjoy playing, but I don't want them sending me a message about having a free coin while I'm trying to sleep.
- davidkatz 13y agoI've done all of that, and it solves some of the problem, but still falls short. Ultimately, my experience is that users just aren't well equipped to decide if notifications are worth it or not. My notifications are silent (no sound), and relevant ("Your order has shipped!"), but people wouldn't know it. When they see a request for push notifications, they assume they're going to get free coin promotions, which is a shame.
