Them pushes are not consistent enough! No Snacked-filled kitchen and Jamba-Juice breaks for you, mister unknown developer ;)

I have received a couple push notifications that weren't for LMs, but I agree with muney. The push notifications are extremely inconsistent.

It would be nice to get notification in the game too. Suppose you have a few minutes to kill before a building is going to be ready to collect. You decide to go robbing and fighting and before you know it, that news icon pops up and you know why immediately. That building that you were waiting for, that you should have been able to collect, was just robbed.

What about changing the colour of the "to your hood" button depending on the status of your hood. Or sticking a dollar sign on it when you have buildings ready to collect.

Or allow the app to run while showing the tool bar with the time, battery charge, and signal strength. It's pretty inconvenient that I'm using a device with a clock programmed on it but I have to have a second device with which to tell time whenever I have CC running.

Happens to me quite often! So frustrating. :(

I enabled this, and I never enable these things, because I thought it would be a handy remonder for nightclubs and taverns. It's a random and mostly useless reminder for people losing $2 in a failed attack.

It could be really good, it's not.

I've ended using alarms on my phone to remind me of things I needed to do... These notifications never worked well for me in this game...

I agree 100%. CC is the only app for which I have enabled push notifications. Just now I won a few bucks defending an attack. Awesome!

Random on android as well... doesn't always work and buildings vary as far as what is pushed

I think it's a problem of sending too much vs sending too little.

If you send out too much, most people will get annoyed and may influence them to quit.

But you still need to send them out often enough so players will be reminded to keep playing the game.

If notifications are perfect, it will be hard for people to find people to rob.

He is right, if they were to be perfect, robbing would be pointless and difficult.

If people are annoyed, they can simply turn them off.

Even with notifications, there will still be plenty to rob.

+1

The notice is after the fact. It doesnt forewarn so there is time to lose it before you can get there.

Maybe Funzio is tweaking the pop-ups.
