It’s probably one of the more minor/frivolous uses, but I can completely see how it could easily prove highly useful with the right service. Pros I love that Pushover allowed me to set up notifications from a site that doesn’t usually offer them. Cons I found it a little bit difficult to set up at first, and very nearly gave up.

SRE Team Lead Computer Software ### "Great price for few features" 2.0 Overall Rating 2.0 2.0 Ease of Use 2.0 2.0 Features 1.0 1.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 3/10 January 16, 2023 Pros The thing I like the most it's the simplicity of it. It only has one or two features to allow you to send notifications, also the price per message it's pretty low so if you really don't have tons of notifications it's pretty good. Cons The lack of features and facilities. A lot of tools different than Pushover offers tons of features that Pushover lacks. They are not an incident management tool, they are just a notification service so you will have to manage your own schedules, escalation policies, etc. Also it's horrible that you have to purchase the Android App aside from the cost per message itself, they only want you to spend a few bucks on the app that works poorly. Also the website works poorly sending alerts with delay.

Support Engineer Computer & Network Security ### "Works great and huge limits for one flat fee per platform" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 July 6, 2022 Just great. Really happy I found this service. I use it with Healthchecks.io and it has never failed me. Pros How easy it is to integrate Pushover with other services. It's also extremely reliable. I have never experienced an outage with them. Cons The UI looks a bit outdated, both on phone and website. Not a problem, but could probably be improved. The limit is really high as well of messages (10k) Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Administrator and owner Marketing and Advertising ### "Get a notification about literally anything, to all your devices" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 September 6, 2021 I can get notified about anything I want to by programming it to run on a server and sending it to a Pushover API. Great for being notified about technical emergencies, setting up nudges for my custom productivity systems, you name it! Pros Reliable and quick notification delivery I can install it on any of my devices Highly customizable After a single payment (per device), I can use it as much as I reasonably would ever want to, forever Cons Web UI is not very convenient, and looking through notification history can be a little difficult. But that's a minor nitpick. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.

CEO/President Marketing and Advertising ### "Best Push Notification Service for iOS" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 April 6, 2021 I needed push notifications about website downtime with Hetrix (free uptime monitoring) and they supported this app. I eventually also used it to get notifications about web-page changes in conjunction with the Firefox extension PageProbe which helped immensely for instant updates about page changes such as "in stock" alerts for hard-to-find products during the pandemic. Pros I love the flexibility of this service. I bought the iOS app one-time for $5 and I've been able to send push notifications to my phone for website uptime using Hetrix and other services. Cons It would be nice if they had some type of "curl generator" or API JSON generator to make it easier to assemble the API calls needed. Other than that, if you know bit about APIs, it's easy to do yourself.

AU Anonymous User Solutions Engineering Lead Computer Software ### "Set and forget push notifications" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 September 13, 2019 A lot of software has pre-built pushover integration which makes it super simple to implement. Pros Pushover integration is very simple for the other software that I use and allows notifications to be easily pushed to my devices. Cons Nothing. It worked first time and has continued to work daily for the last couple of years. Adding integrations is simple.

President, Owner ### "I use Pushover every day to get more customized social notifications!" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 0/10 April 6, 2018 Pros I've been using Pushover for over a year now to receive social notifications that are more customized that the standard options provided within the native apps and networks. I use it together with Zapier to work for my needs. Cons There's not a lot of cons I can think of. It works well, has a simple layout, and gets the job done.

Can be used as an alarm system." 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 March 8, 2018 I strongly recommend this app for simple alarm notifications. It has various melodies so you can distinguish from other app notification sounds. It is also very easy to use. Pros I am using this app as an alarm system for 2-3 years. When something goes wrong in our SaaS infrastructure I get a notification from the app. I act fast and fix the problem asap. I have chosen a very loud and disturbing melody so even if I'm asleep I wake up or I can recognize the sound and know something is wrong. Cons Pushover is exactly the same when I purchased it years ago. It should be updated regularly. It would be good to have some other nice features as well.
