Essential app for power users
I use this app for all kinds of things: notification of new emails from important people, notifications of keywords in chat rooms, notifications of events on my computers, and more. It has a dead-simple API, So it's very easy to set up notifications with all kinds of custom scripts and monitors. I use it multiple times daily to send notifications to multiple devices. It's wonderful.

So very cool app
Works like a charm.... And anyone who says anything else is not reading the docs. Very simple to implement and then your imagination is the limit. I am using it as a common route for communications from my home automation. Ties so many different types of servers together. Output my wife can actually use (the real test). Thanks so much to the team that developed and now maintains this app.

I depend on this app daily - it never lets me down!
I've been using this app for years and it just plain works! The developer does a great job of communication. In the event there are any issues, they are quickly addressed. If you're looking for a reliable push notification service/app that's proven in the real world, look no further...
