User reviews

Some basic features missing from this service. I am never given notifications of updates on projects I have funded, but I am OFTEN bombarded with notifications for recommended projects, which I am usually completely disinterested in. This is despite the fact I have turned off recommendation notifs but do have update notifs turned on. It just doesn't work. In addition, there is no way to dismiss projects in your recommendations. As an app, it's fine. It does the job, but the service is lacking.

Phase, 2025-01-25

The app rarely gives notifications for projects I've backed. It used to, but something changed that makes maybe one in ten updates appear as notifications, even when the settings say you should be getting them. It needs to ensure that all updates are sent if that's what the user has selected.
