APPICS App Update | Notifications!

New update for the APPICS App! Introducing: Notifications

Our APPICS App has been available for testers for quite a while now - and we are continuously adding more and more features to enhance the user experience!
(If you are not one of our early testers yet, you can register HERE to become one & simply login with your Steemit Account!)

This week, we are introducing one of our most-requested features: NOTIFICATIONS!

Of course, Notifications are an essential part of any social media experience.
They connect you with your audience and keep you up-to-date on the activity on your APPICS posts!
From now on, you will receive push notifications directly from the APPICS App when someone upvotes or comments under your post.
(Please note that only upvotes from within the APPICS App will trigger a notification - no upvotes issued via steemit.com)
Additionally, you will be able to click on the heart in the top left corner to be directed to the "Notifications center", which will display an overview of all notifications you received recently.

How to install the Update ?

For iOS, please visit your "TestFlight" app where there will be a new update available for you and click on the "update" button to download it.
For Android, please visit the APPICS App in your Google Play Store and click on the "update" button there to download the latest version.

Please update your app to this latest version so you can enjoy the bug fixes & improved features.

If you don't perform this update once it is available, your content that you post on the then old Appics app version will get lost!
