I wasn't sure if it was possible to do this within BT.

The app only checks for new code when the app resumes from idle or the refresh button is pressed, so a local notification would be pointless. You could set up a local notification to fire every month and put your new stuff in on a regular occasion. Comments You would have to use push notifications, using parse or the new scringo.

If so, are they only available for self hosted servers? Comments Hello Kittsy, Thank you for the information. Are parse and scringo plugins? If so, are they only available for self hosted servers?

There are various tutorials to integrate parse and scringo and are quite easy to achieve if you follow them step by step.
