Receiving notifications after reinstalling
We ask you to wait for a week until receiving notifications due to the phone's notification setting constructed differently, and since our app has no way of understanding if this was coming from our app or your phone's setting.
It is a very common issue to have when you've reinstalled the app, and generally speaking scheduled pushes does take a bit of time to register your new device token (which will be reset when you reinstall the app) via our system and server.
