Prowl: Easy Push Notifications Reviews

Great custom notifications

notification time

I use prowl to notify me about local air quality in realtime. It’s great! Apple ought to allow custom sounds for third party app notification. Would be perfect to have arbitrary number of types and user custom sound based on message contents. This change would allow very versatile notifications like voice announcing data inside message etc. Can select 5 different sounds from a preset list of 6. Defaults are solid, but would greatly benefit from even purchased ringtones being available.

Perfect for notifications

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

Time for an update?

I like Prowl, and I’ve been using it for years. But I’d really like to see an update for it. I’d even be willing to pay an upgrade fee or, gasp, a yearly subscription if it received regular updates. The app works just fine but looks completely dated and doesn’t take advantage of newer screen sizes or any new iOS features. It’s too bad because it’s my favorite push notification service, but maybe it’s time for me to move on to one that doesn’t feel abandoned. ☹️ Two stars because it still works, but 3 off because of lack of development. Who knows if this has a future.

Works :)

I was able to set it up so that I would receive monitoring alerts (nagios) via IOS notifications using prowl. So far notifications have arrived as quickly (or better) than email->sms.

Amazingly Simple Notifications

I use this to get notifications from an IMAP account with where push is not supported. A simple fwd to a provided Prowl email address. Works quickly and beautifully. The UI could be more iOS like but that is not a big deal to me. I could not get by without this app and the service provided with it. 5 stars easy.

Great app!

By far the best push notification app out there. Works flawlessly. I use it with my alarm and home automation system. Never had an issue. :)

Almost perfect

We use this for push notifications with Indigo home monitoring software for security and home automation. My sole suggestion is that when notifications are acknowledged on my iPhone, and I check my iPad, that the notification badge across platforms adjust to show the count of only new alerts. Otherwise perfect.

Free apps work better

I found an app called boxcar 2. it does the same thing for free and it has a better interface. I regret paying the money I did for this piece of crap.

Works great
