Not very often do you find an app that does what it says "easily". I think it's better for a developer to assume the person using it has no or some knowledge of computers but, not assume that the person knows everything. In theory this is a great app but, on the surface it's convaluted mess. 1. There should be a simple server you can download on your Mac/PC to get notifications sent to your iPhone and, not have to pay for a seperate app. 2. The whole API system is not simple. I know of APIs but, don't have the clearest grasp of what it actually is. So, forcing someone to enter API keys is not the best way to go about things. 3. If you want to use it with your browser that's another download.

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.

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.
