Notifications & the App on Your Phone

Three ways you hear from us

• In the app - the bell in the top bar. Always on.
• Email - the bigger moments (results, a competition opening, a payment confirmed). Every email has an unsubscribe link.
• Push - a notification on your phone or computer, even when Moving Day isn't open. Off until you turn it on.

Every notification type can be switched on or off per channel in Settings → Notifications.

Turn on push notifications

Android (Chrome, Edge, Samsung Internet, Firefox)

1. Open movingday.io in your browser and sign in.
2. Go to Settings → Notifications and tap Turn on push.
3. Tap Allow when your browser asks.
4. Tap Send me a test - a notification should arrive within a few seconds.

iPhone and iPad

Apple only allows push for sites you've added to your Home Screen, so do that first (it takes ten seconds and gives you an app icon):

1. Open movingday.io in Safari.
2. Tap the Share button (the square with an arrow), then Add to Home Screen, then Add.
3. Open Moving Day from the new home-screen icon and sign in.
4. Go to Settings → Notifications, tap Turn on push, and Allow.
5. Tap Send me a test.

Needs iOS 16.4 or later. If “Turn on push” doesn't appear, you're probably in the Safari tab rather than the home-screen app.

Desktop

Same steps as Android in Chrome, Edge or Firefox. Handy for a commissioner at a desk on Sunday afternoon.

Add Moving Day to your home screen

On Android, your dashboard offers an Install button when the browser supports it; otherwise use the browser menu → Add to Home screen. On iPhone, use Safari's Share → Add to Home Screen as above. Either way you get a full-screen Moving Day with its own icon - and on iPhone it's the only way to get push.

What you'll get, and when

• Round complete - your team's score for the round, where you stand in the pool, who won the round (and the skin or rabbit, if your pool plays them).
• Golfer withdrawn - if he withdrew before hitting a shot you can swap him out from your team page, right up to his own tee time; after that the pool's WD penalty applies.
• Pick deadline reminder - the day before entries close.
• Draft: your turn - when you're on the clock.
• Results and season results, payment confirmations, a new competition in your pool, and free Moving Day pools opening.

Turning things off, and troubleshooting

• Per type and per channel: Settings → Notifications. “Turn off push” there stops push everywhere for your account on that device.
• Blocked at the browser level by accident? Android/desktop: tap the lock icon in the address bar → Notifications → Allow. iPhone: Settings app → Notifications → Moving Day.
• Push is best-effort - a phone in low-power mode or a browser that hasn't opened in weeks can delay it. Email and the in-app bell always have the same information.
• Nothing arrives after a test? Push is per browser and per device: turn it on from each phone or computer you want it on.
