Setting up an alert via the app

@Shella_in_the_Forum
I saved yours listing as a favourite :heart: using the app for this test.

I received a notification of your “new” ( test ) dates at 13:27 GMT on my IPhone .

When I clicked view dates - I got the new message “you’re busy with another sit “ which is true I am :rofl:

I just got an alert on my iPhone, at 14:27 my local time, for my Oakland saved search.

There was no notification for favourite. So I will now remove the favourite from the web interface and make a new one using the app.

And why oh why are those colours different? Cannot they get anything right?

Hi @Shella_in_the_Forum I woke to a whole list of Oakland sits this morning and dismissed them without checking so sorry if one of them was you! I have just received 2 alerts now though. 1 on my tablet about 20 minutes ago (so probably close to actual time) and one on my phone 2 minutes ago. Interesting though no alert to my favourite at all yet!

I favourited on the App and didn’t get alerted either. Something not working on favourites then especially as they are supposed to come in first. Are you Android or Apple? I am Android on both tablet and phone.

I am on iPhone.

And now I cannot change the heart on Shella’s listing in the iPhone. I can toggle the heart in the web interface. And in the app, on other listings in Oakland.

So weird.

So I can un-favourite and re-favourite on both tablet and phone. Not got the colour changes yet as neither tablet or phone has updated yet :smiling_face:. Why is the favourite list random though, you would expect the latest favourite to be at the top? :woman_shrugging:

@Shella_in_the_Forum My notifications come in batches about every hour. I received a notification for new sits for my saved search “Oakland” at about 05:50 PST, and that included your listing.

I have not seen a notification for your listing as a result of it being a favorite.

I use an iPhone.

@Shella_in_the_Forum I had you marked as a favourite on my iPhone 11. I received a notification at 5:27 am PST (I’m in California right now). I don’t have any website saved search for your area so I would not receive an email.

@Snowbird, you are the only person whose favorites yielded a notification. What could cause that difference? Does anyone have ideas?

@Shella_in_the_Forum mine did too - see my previous post :arrow_up:

Now I can toggle your listing as a favourite, also in the app.

It is on now, switched on in the app this time. Maybe that makes a difference?

@Shella_in_the_Forum Now that I look at the listing in your forum profile I’m not confident it was your listing that related to the notification. I had a lot of notifications overnight so maybe don’t take any notice of my feedback, just to be sure. I’ll watch more carefully next time you do it.

Hi all. I think I a few more people may have favorited my sit. Later tonight or early tomorrow I will announce new dates and post the exact time here, so look out for alerts.

I Just announced new dates as a test on my listing at 7:37 AM BST/11:37 PM PST. Please comment here if you see an alert for favorites or saved searches and what kind of phone you have.

Hi, notified on my tablet (Samsung) at 8.11am. Nothing on my phone yet (also Samsung) and again nothing from my favourite list! Looks like my favourites are definitely not working. I did it on the app so will try it through the website to see if that does it.

This was on my phone when I got up. So no exact time stamp, but two notifications: once as a favourite, once for the saved search. The favourite after the Saved search! Maybe immediately after, but I had expected that favouriting would get them earlier.

I have also clicked several Oakland notifications yesterday. About half of them seemed to be gone already, even when I click within half a minute.

Got a notification on my phone at 8.45am. Also after taking the heart off and reapplying it in the website I got a favourite notification at the same time. So favourite notifications done on the app don’t work! So now I need to go through all my favourites and redo them on the website. PITA!

Looks like favourites are coming in at the same time as saved searches so that is different as they were coming in ahead. :woman_shrugging:
