Sportacular has push now!

I have sportacular, sports tap, and espn app and of the three, sportacular's servers always seem "overloaded" at the most inopportune moment. Really annoying.
It has been stable for me! The notification area is awesome and allows you to really customize it! You can generally choose any of the following: pre-game notification (3 - hour), when an inning/period/quarter ends, when a game starts, when a game ends, and when the score changes. It varies with each game, but it is pretty neat that you can choose how you want to be notified.
The customer ratings challenge your theory by a lot.
Agreed.
I was not a fan of Sportstap. I had it for a while but found that I like the UI of Sportacular much more.
I've been very happy with Sportacular, and have been waiting patiently for push notifications. I'm looking forward to tomorrow to see how well it works.
So I used Push Notifications for the Dodgers game tonight.
The notifications came for the first half of the game, but then stopped for some reason. Also, no badges appeared even though I had that option toggled to 'on'.
I'll try again tomorrow.
Hopefully it was just a weird glitch and it will be more reliable in the future.

Make sure you have customized your push notifications for that sport/game in the Alerts menu! You can turn them off and on for different aspects.
The pro version says it has "Customized Push Alerts" that are different from the free version. Can someone tell me the difference? I would love to just get away game updates from my teams.
Yea.. this is confusing. Other than not having ads, what's different? The free version seems to offer customized push alerts. Would they put it in there if it didn't work?
D the push notifications really work and get sent in a real time type manner and are they reliable (will I get a push note when each quater ends or will I get them 30 minutes later)? I have the AP app and its push notifications are random if you even get them.
I can set alerts for NBA teams but can't do it for college football. Anyone know how long before college is enabled?
My orioles updates worked fine earlier.
