Notifications: what we send and fixing ones that don't arrive

Every notification type, how to choose which you get, and the checklist when pushes stop.

The notification preferences sheet: updates, news, nudges, streak, hearts and tutor alerts, each switchable.

What we send#

CategoryExamples
TutorA live lesson started, a new assignment, a tutor message.
StreakRio's evening reminder when today's practice is still missing.
NudgesShort, signal-based reminders: an exam getting close, a lesson left half-done.
HeartsHearts refilled.
UpdatesAccount and support replies (can't be switched off).
NewsOccasional product news.

Choose which you get from Settings → Notifications. Each device has its own preferences, so you can keep the iPad quiet and the phone chatty.

Nothing arriving? Work down this list#

  1. Phone settings. iOS: Settings → Notifications → Tutorio → Allow Notifications. Android: Settings → Apps → Tutorio → Notifications. Also check Focus / Do Not Disturb.
  2. In-app settings. Settings → Notifications: is the category on for this device?
  3. Sign out and back in once. This re-registers the device's push token with our servers. It fixes most 'used to work' cases.
  4. Reinstall if the above fails - occasionally a push token is revoked by the platform and only a fresh install issues a new one.
  5. Web app on iPhone needs to be added to the Home Screen before it can receive push (iOS 16.4+). In a normal Safari tab there's no push.
Still quiet?

Email us the device model, OS version and the email on the account. We can see whether the device has a valid push token and when we last successfully delivered to it.

Common questions#

I get the notification but tapping it opens the wrong page.

Update the app. Older versions opened everything on the home screen.

Why did I get a streak reminder when I'd already practised?

Reminders go out at a set evening hour based on your device time zone. If you practised just after it was scheduled, you may receive one anyway. Finishing a session earlier cancels it.
