 6. Choose what you want to be notified of

  Do I have to buy the app for iOS or Android

Yes, this plugin requires that you buy the application from the Google Play or Apple
App store to connect with the Pushover.net account.

  Why do I have to register an Application with Pushover?

I have been in contact with the Pushover Team and we agreed that in order to maintain
a system that allows more managability and customization for you, the end user, 
each site should register their own application. This will allow you to set your
own icon and not be limited by the monthly limitations of the API that are currently
set, amongst other things.

Unfortunately, I can only give them one star – I really don’t want to give them 
any at all, but yes. You can’t access their website, you can’t get in touch with
them, it doesn’t work, etc. … I hope someone can figure it out, hmm.

Really handy plugin for Pushover users, I’ve been using it for years and it’s never
missed a beat.

 [sadhaka](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sadhaka/) Agosto 28, 2021

Various parts of the interface (e.g., the sysinfo tab) cause fatal errors on PHP
7. Plus, there’s not much functionality here that can’t be done better by hand.

Bonjour, merci beaucoup pour cet article. Pour avoir testé Pushover pour améliorer
la communication au sein d’une entreprise, c’est vrai que ça marche plutôt bien 
et les coûts sont plutôt faible par rapport au développement d’une appli d’entreprise
typique. Tout dépend les oblectifs ensuite, bien évidemment. Pour compléter l’article,
un de mes collègues a fait un exemple d’implémentation de l’API Pushover en C#. 
Si jamais ça vous chauffe : http://www.softfluent.fr/blog/expertise/2017/01/26/Pushover-
API

   notifications

   notify them of a scheduled post being published.

   Publish notifications at an account specific level. This is only visible if the

   of notifications.
 * FIX: Corrected a wrapping issue on the Extensions tab
 * FIX: All functions now have PHPDoc on them
 * FIX: Fixed a possible bottleneck in sending notifications due to the request 
   blocking the thread. This means email fail-over will only apply when logging 
   is enabled. (Note that logging may affect performance and should only be used
   on a non-production environment or when debugging)
