So it's been 1 month since the launch of the BuzzBox SDK and we it has been used to send over 1 million notifications!!! WOW!!!
We are really proud of the success of the SDK. It's great to have developers download the SDK but it's even better to see that so many notifications are being sent. We have gotten great feedback on the value of the BuzzBox SDK from developers and we wanted to share that with you.
1) Simplicity To Integrate - We've been told by developers that the ease to integrate was important so they could test out how their users reacted to notifications. They can focus on other features of their app then come back to notifications if there was a lot usage, but it made some of their vocal users happy that their app had notification now.
2) Reach All Android Users - Push Notifications don't reach users of Android version 2.1 and lower which is about 33% of all Android phones. With our simplified polling techniques developers have told us they like they can reach everyone around the world.
3) Polling Works - Polling can drain the battery, but only if you poll every 5 minutes. Many notifications from apps don't need to be real-time and developers have said that polling every hour or 30min is ok with their users. Also, getting users back 1/day or even 1/week is very important to keep the active installs high for apps.
We are really glad to hear this affirmation from our community about the BuzzBox SDK. We are working on the next features like the Notification Feed & Battery Conservation as well as how best to add Push Notifications. We want to future proof notifications for our developers so they can focus on other aspects of their app.
Well we are going to go our for a beer to celebrate!! It's a great milestone for us!
If you have feedback, we'd love to hear from you. Please email me at anu@buzzbox.com.
Thanks
Anu, Roberto & Walter
