Never Miss a Lockout Again 🙌

 I'm thrilled to announce that the FTL app can now send push notifications to your devices!

What are push notifications, you ask? They're the notifications you get on your phone and other devices that come directly from the server without you even needing to have the app/website open.

What does this mean? It means FTL will remind you when a Game Week's roster deadline is approaching. Initially, it will send out notifications at 24 hours and 2 hours before lockout. We will likely add some other useful notifications to the app as time goes on, but this one alone should be a huge help. I think pretty much everyone who has ever played FTL has missed a lockout at some point. 😅

How to Enable Push Notifications

When you go to your Team page, the app should ask you if you want to enable notifications. Please note that you have to click "Allow" twice. Once in the app and another time from your browser/device. If you don't want to get these notifications for some reason, you can just click "Cancel" on the first popup.

 The second one is the important one. If you do not click "Allow" on that one, it is rather difficult to go back and change your mind later. You have been warned. :)

Please note that notification subscriptions are device-specific. You need to allow notifications separately on each device that you want to receive FTL notifications on. It is perfectly fine to allow the notifications on your phone but not on your computer (for example).

Mobile App

By the way... if you haven't already done so (or weren't aware), I highly recommend using FTL as an app on your phone. The website is a Progressive Web App (PWA), which means that it can function like a regular mobile app. To use it as an app, just look in your browser's menu for an option to "Add to home screen", "Install app", or similar, depending on which browser you're using.

Enjoy!
