Ratings and reviews

This service has been great for sending alerts for a ZFS pool in a homelab. A different push service failed to send alerts when the pool was degraded, so it was time for a change. Like others have mentioned, email alerts aren't reliable or timely. Pushover alerts have been instant. You can also create apps via Pushover with their own API tokens for separate services. Pushover also has an API hit count, unlike the previous push service that I used.

Perfect solution to my home automation environment needs for pushing notifications to my phone. I previously tried using text messages and emails, but those both lacked the ability to finely control what sounds to use for each notification. Pushover provides everything I ever needed for posting notifications!

Works great. Using this with a Raspberry Pi and motion sensor to get alerts on my phone. Seems reliable and fast/functional and very reasonably priced. The only addition to the app I would like to see are usage stats, eg. how many messages currently sent and other good stuff available on the web page. If they exist somewhere on the app, I haven't been able to find them.
