3. 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

7. Push Analytics
A very useful feature that can track:

How many Push Notifications were sent from your side

How many were delivered, and

Push Notification Campaign
How many users opened the message
31%
100%
Sent
Delivered
Opened
These analytics can be viewed from our AppHQ console.
74%
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.
• 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
Thus, Analytics gives you a better insight of your Push Notification campaign.
