Samira Aspiring developer Posts: 48 Reg: Oct 23, 2011 London 3,780	confirm \| cancel 01/19/13 06:52 AM (13 years ago) Push Notifications Hi, Is it possible to send a push notification for those who downloaded an app via buzztouch to ask them to rate it? I want to update the app (which was created by the previous version of buzztouch and would be good to see the opinion of those who downloaded the app. Any advice would be highly appreciated. Thanks very much, Samira Title Comments Hi, Is it possible to send a push notification for those who downloaded an app via buzztouch to ask them to rate it?

If you haven't done that, then the answer is sorry, no.

You can send your clients a simple text asking them to rate it. LA Comments Hey @Samira, Buzztouch is rolling out push notifications soon for members.

AlanMac Aspiring developer Posts: 2612 Reg: Mar 05, 2012 Esher, UK 37,120	01/19/13 08:40 AM (13 years ago) I could be wrong, but I understood the question is can you send a push to existing users, get feedback and use that as input to then build a new version. But I'm sure Samira will pop back and let us know! All good fun!

Samira Aspiring developer Posts: 48 Reg: Oct 23, 2011 London 3,780	01/19/13 09:31 AM (13 years ago) Thanks everyone for the helpful information. Alan is right, I was hoping there will be a way that I can ask the current users their opinion before I update the new version (so I could take their feedback into account in the new version). @ LA how can I send a text to everyone who is using it? Thanks again for all your help. I appreciate it a lot :-). Samira Comments Thanks everyone for the helpful information.

LA Aspiring developer Posts: 3280 Reg: Aug 16, 2012 Jerseyville, IL 42,900	01/19/13 09:39 AM (13 years ago) Hi @Samira, If you want the push notifications to go out to current users, without doing an update, then the BT push won't work. Since it has not been introduced yet and it should be soon, then it would only be to new Apps. When it does get introduced, then if your a member, which I totally recommend, then you can send a text push of your liking. Hope this helps some.

Sandeep Android Fan Posts: 1260 Reg: Feb 01, 2012 Miraj, India 25,250	01/19/13 09:43 AM (13 years ago) If your app has custom html screens then the easiest way to notify your users is to add a banner on some screens editing your html doc. This is the only way you can interact with your current users and ask them to give their opinion.
