FAQs

Why can't I find my device on the user list?

The Users dashboard will show up to 250 of the latest users who have used your app. To locate your device to label as a tester, try using the filter options. Additionally, try re-playing your game or app to have your device resurface as a recent user on the dashboard.

My Test Device no longer receives notifications?

One common reason this happens is because you have uninstalled and re-installed your app or game. If you have uninstalled and re-installed your app or game, your device will now show up as a new user, so you must relocate your device and re-tag yourself as a tester.

Why do I only recieve notifications when I open my app?

Push notifications act differently depending on the device manufacturer. If your device is below 30% battery, you have on battery saver mode, or high memory usage from background apps, your device may store the message for a later time.
