Please add push notifications?
If you log in, and no one is around, the app gets closed pretty quickly. I have checked back multiple times, and always seem to miss everyone chatting. I would love to know if someone close by is online or chatting, so that I don't have to sit there hoping someone sees my tepid 'Hello?'.
I don't know if push notifications are the correct answer, but letting me know that there was activity that I missed, after my last post, would be a good start. Letting me know if other people are active in my region would be nice, but it's mostly that I don't want to have a conversation with myself.
I would love to know if other people are chatting, because I want to join in.
In any case, thanks for the app, have you got a public issue tracker, or anything similar?
- drum 13y agoYes, you're absolutely right. I was kickin myself all day yesterday because push notifications weren't working. I couldnt figure out why but my guess was it had to do with the provisioning profile. i resubmitted late last night, and requested expedited review. hopefully itll be out in the next few days. either way, thanks for the constructive feedback!
- Cogito 13y agoHow did you implement it? I was writing that comment, and kept thinking of the possible annoying implementations. For example, I probably don't want a notification every single time someone within 1 mile sends a message. Some seemingly sane ideas off the top of my head, which I think would be useful and not too annoying: * A timeout, where I get a notification if there is a new message, after a period where no messages were sent near me * Notification if I send a message with no reply, close the app, and then someone replies * Notification if there is a particularly active conversation around me
- Cogito 13y agoA couple of other things I've noticed: * No way to copy text from other people * No way to create hyperlinks (which would be awesome) * Emoticons seem to disappear * New people are very confused by the badges * I had a weird bug where it kept asking me to wait 5s before posting, I hadn't touched it in ~10 minutes. It had been cycling between "Need 1 more person to unlock this area" and being unlocked for some of that time too. Seeing the usage pick-up has been fun! Looking forward to seeing how things progress.
