• Notification will not be sent if a project/topic is unpublished.
• ​​Push Notifications are not supported in Gametize hybrid application (e.g. Gourmet Grammar)
• Push Notifications must be enabled in the Device Settings (see 1.)
• Push Notifications are not supported on the player web (Player Web)
• The application must also be minimised in order for push notifications to be received.
• If a user is using the same account on multiple devices, only the device that has last accessed the application will receive the push notification.
