    Notifications! Yes! Thank you.

        Thanks. It doesn’t seem to work though. I’ve set it to check for messages every 10 minutes but I get no notification. (The app was closed during that time) 🤔

        Does anyone have the some problem? I’m on Android 14 on a Pixel 7 Pro.

          Able to reproduce this. Seems like setting anything under 15 mins causes an issue. Will patch today.

            Doesn’t work with a setting > 15 minutes for me either. I currently have it set at 30 minutes and didn’t receive a notification about your reply.

            Thanks for looking into it!

                  Seems to be working now.

                  I’ve pushed the update through. Hopefully should be live in the next hour or two.

                    Just installed v121 and I got a notification upon starting the app.

                    Seems to be working. Thank you!
