Most sports apps treat playoff games the same way they treat regular-season games: a steady drip of generic notifications. This app treats them as the moment they are.
What you can alert on
- Tipoff. Your team's playoff game just started.
- End of quarter. Q1 wrapped, Q2 wrapped, halftime, end of Q3.
- Last quarter. Q4 is about to start.
- Close-game. The final minutes of a 3-point game.
- Comeback. A 15+ point lead just got erased.
- Final. Your team's game just ended.
- Series-wrap. A series just got decided.
Three tiers, per follow
Pick a tier for the Knicks, a different tier for the Cavaliers, a different one for the entire NBA Playoffs tournament if you like. Three options:
- Quiet: Tipoff and Final only. Two pushes per game.
- Companion: Tipoff, end-of-Q, last quarter, Final. Around 4–5 per game.
- Full Details: adds close-game and comeback. Around 6–8 per dramatic game.
How playoff series context works
Every playoff game in the app sits inside its series. You see the seven-dot strip (one dot per game, filled with the winner's initial), the stake line ("NY can close the series with one more win."), and the next-game line on the recap card.
That means your alerts come with context. The final-buzz push knows whether the series just wrapped, whether your team faces elimination, whether the series is 3-3 with a Game 7 looming.
What you don't get
- No "Top story" pushes. Not our brand.
- No "Don't miss the playoffs!" hype pushes.
- No betting odds in the push body.
- No social-share-prompts in the push body.
- No re-engagement pings if you stop using the app for a week.
How to set it up
Install the app on your phone (iPhone install guide; on Android, Chrome will prompt). Open it, tap Following, add your team or a specific playoff series. Tap the row, set the tier to Companion or higher. Done.
Notifications will start firing at tipoff of the next game.
