Not all notifications are created equal, and Buddzy knows it. Instead of treating everything the same way, the app uses three distinct notification types that each serve a different purpose. Understanding how they work helps you stay on top of your game without feeling overwhelmed.
Push Alerts
These are the classic notifications that pop up on your lock screen or notification shade in real time. Push alerts are how Buddzy reaches you when you're not in the app. They cover the essentials — incoming Stars, Streak reminders, Challenge invites, and more. Think of them as your lifeline to everything happening in your Galaxy while you're away.
Push alerts are designed to be timely and actionable. When a friend sends you a Star or your Streak is about to expire, you want to know right now, not two hours later. That's why push alerts are delivered the moment something happens.
The Notification Center
This is your in-app logbook that records every single interaction that happened while you were away. Think of it as your personal recap zone. Unlike push alerts that disappear once you swipe them away, the Notification Center keeps a complete history you can scroll through at any time.
- Logs every interaction — Stars received, Streak updates, Challenge results, and more
- Always accessible — Open it whenever you want to catch up
- Nothing gets lost — Even if you missed a push alert, it's all here
Celebration Screens
These are the big, beautiful full-screen popups that take over your display when something truly special happens. Hit a major milestone? Leveled up your Aura phase? Unlocked a rare achievement? That's when Buddzy pulls out the full-screen treatment with animations and haptic feedback to make the moment feel epic.
Celebration screens are reserved for high-impact events. You won't see them for everyday stuff — they're saved for the moments that genuinely deserve a celebration.
How They Work Together
The beauty of Buddzy's notification system is how these three types complement each other. Push alerts keep you informed in real time. The Notification Center makes sure you never miss a thing. And celebration screens turn your biggest wins into unforgettable moments.
Pro Tips
- Keep push alerts enabled for the best experience — especially if you're maintaining Streaks or participating in timed Challenges.
- Check your Notification Center regularly to catch anything you might have swiped away.
- When a celebration screen hits, take a screenshot — those moments are worth sharing with your crew.
