Locked

Push notifications (US) and new achievemnts to unlock

Post by krankyd
We've just updated a few changes on our system that you might want to check out.

In the US only and on iPhone only - Push notifications:
The settings are already on the iPhone client (from version 2.0.1), but now the actual notifications will be starting to roll out.
Currently we only have 3 kinds of notifications:

1. Group owners receive daily (weekly if the group is big) updates about the number of users that joined their groups.
2. Area managers receive weekly reports about the number of updates/pending/edits in their area.
3. Gold/Silver/Bronze users receive notifications when they become eligible for it (recalculated weekly).

In the future we will probably have more push notifications, and we will update once those are out.

Please remember these are currently available in the US only, and for iPhone users only. We are working on adding these to the International server as well.

====

In US and INTERNATIONAL, and for all devices - new 'achievements' to unlock:
Added 7 new achievements:

* Your first friend on waze!
* Your first five friends on waze!
* This week''s top user in your state!
* You made your first map edit!
* Reported your first map problem
* You''ve resolved 50 map problems!
* You drove 500+ miles this week!

Each one is worth a different number of points - you will see how much when you get them ;)
Veteran users are marked automatically as achieved first map edit, first update request and 50 resolved map problems (if they are eligible for this achievement).

If you have any comments or notice something isn't working properly, please let us know.
Thanks!

I'm not sure that I've been receiving these. Has anyone else seen them?
No, sketch, I have not seen them, either.

I have the bberry tour and the achievements are not refreshing. I know I've knocked out the first 3 but they're still showing that I need to do them. I posted a simiar comment over in the "problems" thread about the latest update for the Tour. Any help?

You both need to connect your facebook account to Waze from the client or the dashboard.

How do you add a friend? I haven't seen an option for that. I told a friend about it who downloaded it to her iPhone as well. but we have no idea how to connect our accounts as friends. Can you help?

The subject was push notification, so yes, I'm saying I received it on the phone.
