Push notifications are not arriving

When you are not getting alerts for messages, meetups, or reminders.

  1. Confirm you are on First Mate or Captain, push notifications are a paid feature.
  2. Make sure you tapped Allow when the app asked to send notifications.
  3. Check notification permissions in your device settings for the app.
  4. For the most reliable delivery, use the installed app (from the App Store or Google Play, or added to your home screen) rather than a browser tab.
Heads up: On iPhone, web push generally requires adding the app to your home screen first. Running it in a Safari tab is not enough. The installed App Store version handles this for you.
