Push notifications do not work

Can’t get the push notifications to work, even though I have them enabled in my settings.


Need help

I’ve been using this app for years now. But for whatever reason, the app doesn’t fetch data when I am not in the app. I never get notifications when someone I am playing makes a move. I have to open the app and let it get info and then loads any opponents moves. It also won’t refresh when I am in the app either. I have to close and reopen to see if anyone has gone. I have emailed them and they just refer me to outdated notifications settings from old iOS. Not sure if it is an app problem or an iPhone settings problem.


Great
we buy

I would recommend this app


No notifications
ofjit

I haven’t received any notification when it’s my opponents turn. So disappointed cuz I already paid for the premium version.


5 day wait
mobrills2591

I have experienced that when someone fall behind they just Forget about it. Checking every day for five days see if they have moved is annoying. I think it should be 48 hours to default. Agreed. 48 hours! Get tired of waiting more than 24 actually. One move a day is hardly competition. Thanks


Notifications not working

Not getting notifications... needs to be fix. App is useless without notifications


Huh?
Lodovicius

Somehow moves are not registering or take several minutes to show up on on opponent’s phone. And I don’t see instructions or way to correspond with authors of program.


Big fan, but alerts stopped working
JeffInNOVA

I have used this app for years and would have given it a 5 Star rating, but months ago notifications stopped working. My friend who I play with has the same issue. If this problem can be resolved, this will again be a 5 star review.
