API: Change to Message Priority -1, New Priority -2
May 27, 2014 by joshua stein
We’ve made a small change to our API that affects message priority. Previously on our iOS client, messages with a priority of -1 would only update the badge number for the Pushover app icon and not show any notification details. To provide more functionality and match our Android client behavior, these messages will now show a notification, though still without vibration or sound so as not to disturb you. Messages received during quiet hours will still use this priority.
A new priority -2 is available through our API which will only update the app badge on iOS, and as of our new version 2.2.1 Android client, will not generate any system notification on Android. This is useful for sending messages to your Android device that will only be used to interface with Tasker, since you will not have to dismiss these notifications afterwards.
Yes, it is detailed in your account at Pushover.net:
Sorry I understand now.
It's actually difficult to measure because alerts are only kept for about 4 days after they have been read. So referring to how many alerts are in the xf_user_alert table won't give you an accurate impression.
@Azhria Lilu opened it up to a much smaller group of users first to try and gauge how popular it would be.
If you're not using much over the 7,500, let's say you're using 8,000 a month, for example, the alerts are sold in packs of 10,000, but once you've purchased them they don't expire and you still get the first 7,500 free every month.
Meaning in my example above, 10,000 alerts would last you 20 months.
The pricing should be localised. I can't say I know for sure but in theory the charge for them in their local currency in their local App Store may actually be less.
Also the app is free now. Which allows people to have a free trial so they can use that to decide whether it's something they like before purchasing.
It might be worth asking them to find it in their local App Store, and look at the list of In-App Purchases as that will confirm to you the cost in their local currency.
I'm speaking as an Apple App Store customer though so I'm not sure exactly how what I says translated to Google Play.

I think I have an update for that issue. @The Sandman tested it on TAZ. I was making some other changes to it, though, I will dig it out and release it.Hi Chris, I've noticed I'm getting a lot or errors in the error log, pages and pages worth. Although it's still working just fine and I'm receiving alerts.

A lot of people say Pushover is expensive; yet I haven't seen any other suggestions yet.I cant wait for someone else to come along and do this way way way way cheaper!
The mod itself is priced amazingly (kudos Chris).
The device apps are priced ok, but could be cheaper.
The message top ups $50 for 10K is bloody stupid.
It basically rules out any useful implementation with normal users. It can hardly pacify anyone screaming for a mobile app alternative... not when a single active user could rack up 1000 alerts or more in a month on their own.
The app itself is BASIC. The tech behind it is BASIC.... Chris has code that could be modified to hook into any similar API.... which leaves us where?
I'd say pushover wont be alone for long.... the charges are gonna drive people elsewhere in droves when something else launches into reality.
- Server errors fixed (rare issue where Pushover accounts/devices are deactivated).
- Alerts read from XenForo.com are no longer marked as read.
