FAQs

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.

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.

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.
