Benefits of Push Notification

Increases user-engagement

e.g. In a turn-based game like Tic-Tac-Toe, it can notify a user of his turn (suppose

he gets a phone call in between and forgets that he was playing!!)

Allows to send messages to users even when the app is not running; thus helps in

reminding them of your App

Helps to build a fan community around your game by pushing to a targeted

audience – like your regular gamers

Allows an App to notify its users of new events without needing to actually open it,

i.e. by a sound or a screen pop up

Why App42 Push Notification?

Creating a channel & scheduling

Push messages through AppHQ

A very useful feature that can track:

These analytics can be viewed from our AppHQ console.

Why Push Analytics?

When you use our Push Notification Service, each Push goes from the App42 server to

GCM/APNS/MPNS and then to the user device.

Thus, Analytics gives you a better insight of your Push Notification campaign.

Push Analytics

• Delivery of Push Notification is not guaranteed even from the service provider

• Once delivered, there might be a chance that user just clears it without opening the message
