Apologies if this has been asked before, but is it possible to get push notifications for multiplayer turns on iPad? How do I set it up.

Not sure what you mean - there's an email alert when your opponent has completed a turn (so it's now your turn, by implication).

You can "refresh" games in MP screen to see if there's a turn waiting for you.

Or you can do what I do and have your batman monitor these for you and bring you the game with your tea and jam in the mornings.

(Did I say "batman"? How colonial of me. I meant "catwoman". Muxch more fun! :twisted:

A push notification would be a message that pops up on the ipad via the app to tell you it's your turn. An email notification does the same job though so I've set that up now. Cheers!

Feature request for Slitherine - proper push notifications please!

You know, I don't think anyone has ever suggested it. It's a pretty cool idea. I would need to look into how we could do it, as the game generally doesn't have you logged in etc. It might be that an iPad version of our system tray tool notifier would be a better fit. But on to the task list it goes!

Cheers
