## Pushover Reviews
  ### 1. Gateway for Notification Notification customization

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Arush A. | Product Owner, Internet, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 13, 2019

**What do you like best about Pushover?**

You can customize the notification that really matters to you. It provides an edge to the existing phone/device notification system as it treats all notifications in the same way and with the same priority. You can simply choose a customized alarm sound based on the notification, like for alerts we have chosen some emergency threshold sound which gives us a reminder for purging activity. Good support on web and app for both Android and iOS. The charging model is straightforward based on one-time charges.

**What do you dislike about Pushover?**

There are no dislikes, but there haven't been any major changes since I started using it. As an end user, I expect new feature surprises on a periodic basis.

**Recommendations to others considering Pushover:**

Strongly recommended app, if you are already spending a lot of time in cluttered and messy notifications. Well Organized notification enabler!!

**What problems is Pushover solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Some of the problems we are addressing in terms of notifications are:
-> Campaign Segmentation.
-> Contextual Targeting
-> Analytics
-> Notification Scheduling
And it's cloud-based deployment, so it's very easily accessible.
Quick and easy integration with:
-> IFTTT,
-> network monitors like Nagios, shell scripts, servers, etc.
-> It's well documented and can be understood very quickly.
-> Email Alias is one of its selling points, I can say.
-> Pushover is connected to more than 1500 apps and can be easily configured and integrated for notification. Applications may range from Analytics, Work Management, Social Media, IDEs, Servers, Calendars, Mailers, etc. You name it, they have it.

  ### 2. Fantastic notification tool with API access that's great for developers

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Wesley A. | Founder, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 08, 2019

**What do you like best about Pushover?**

I love having access to Pushover's API, which makes adding push notifications to personal dev projects I'm working on. I also love the way you can use a variety of programming languages, including Python which is ideally suited for use on a Raspberry Pi. This makes sending push notifications really simple, and their API documentation is fantastically presented.

**What do you dislike about Pushover?**

Nothing really - it's a fantastically simple, yet affordable solution. Whilst you can use it without a license, so essentially free, the benefits of paying a one-time fee to do so is perfectly reasonable. The only minor issue I have is sometimes getting my custom icon to work as it often appears with a black background due to the PNG. It's not very clear on how to avoid this however.

**Recommendations to others considering Pushover:**

Whilst you would need to pay for a subscription to unlock the full potential, it is very affordable and well worth the money, especially if you are a budding developer on a Raspberry Pi!

**What problems is Pushover solving and how is that benefiting you?**

As a developer, I like being able to have notifications on any projects I'm working on, particularly for anything that involves a Raspberry Pi. With Pushover, I can develop my own solution using their extremely easy to use API and it allows me to trigger push notifications on my iPhone and iPad with ease.
