New update for the APPICS App! Introducing: Notifications
Our APPICS App has been available for testers for quite a while now - and we are continuously adding more and more features to enhance the user experience!
(If you are not one of our early testers yet, you can register HERE to become one & simply login with your Steemit Account!)
This week, we are introducing one of our most-requested features: NOTIFICATIONS!
Of course, Notifications are an essential part of any social media experience.
They connect you with your audience and keep you up-to-date on the activity on your APPICS posts!
From now on, you will receive push notifications directly from the APPICS App when someone upvotes or comments under your post.
(Please note that only upvotes from within the APPICS App will trigger a notification - no upvotes issued via steemit.com)
Additionally, you will be able to click on the heart in the top left corner to be directed to the "Notifications center", which will display an overview of all notifications you received recently.
How to install the Update ?
For iOS, please visit your "TestFlight" app where there will be a new update available for you and click on the "update" button to download it.
For Android, please visit the APPICS App in your Google Play Store and click on the "update" button there to download the latest version.
Please update your app to this latest version so you can enjoy the bug fixes & improved features.
If you don't perform this update once it is available, your content that you post on the then old Appics app version will get lost!

Now you'll be able to share your APPICS content with anyone effortlessly, even if they're not on the testnet yet!
Post a video on your APPICS profile and try it out!

Hey Nigel! Thank you very much for the support, appreciate it and upvoted you!
You’re welcome. @APPICS
Looking forward to your full roll out.
It is becoming annoying.. After the update everyday i need to login again from mobile, and obviously if this continue i have to stop using the app because i can't always put the key to login everyday. Please fix the problem, or i can't use the app anymore.
Hey @thecryptotrader! Sorry to hear you are experiencing issues. Can you please let me know if you are on iOS or android, as well as the current software on your phone so that we can investigate this bug ? Thanks!
android. Don't know, but i always have the latest version.. and it should not be about the version, because also in other phones happens.
Same here but I am using iOS. I now can’t even post either. Hope these issues get resolved quickly, I really like the app.

Waiting for your comment at Chandelier in the Gallery - Festival of Lights 2019 - Zagreb, Croatia post 😉🙂
7.5% beneficiaries were mentioned nowhere. And what do we get in return? Nothing. The app looks amazing and it is easy to use. But I can easily use any other UI/platform connected to Steem.
Cheers.
