Věděli jste, že push notifikace mohou až ztrojnásobit počet spuštění aplikace? Nebo že aplikace, které podporují push notifikace mají až o 70% větší pravděpodobnost, že na zařízení přežijí déle než 60 dní? Schopnost přijímat push notifikace by proto měla být vlastní každé aplikaci. Ukážeme si, jak na to na klientovi i na serveru.

3. Push notifications.
The big way.

4. Should be part of every app.
Are not part of every app.
Are simple when done simple.
Mostly, they are pretty hard.
Push notifications

5. Why?

6. Users who opt in to push messages averaged 3x more
app launches than those who opted out.
— Localytics

7. 65% of users returned to an app in the 30 days after
the app’s initial download, if they have push enabled.

8. Forced social login
Privacy concerns
Intrusive ads
Bad UI/UX
Freezing
Complex sign-up
