Questions
Why isn't this on the Play Store?
Google requires new apps to go through a 14-day testing period before public release. We're working through that process now. This direct download has the same functionality.
Will notifications work when my phone is locked?
Yes. Push notifications work even when the app is closed. Make sure to allow notifications when prompted during setup.
How do I update the app?
Return to this page and download the latest version. If you see "App not installed," uninstall the old version first, then install the new one. You'll need to log in again after updating.
What permissions does the app need?
Internet access (to receive notifications) and notification permission. The app doesn't access your contacts, camera, location, or any other personal data.
