2.3 Notification Settings
Notification Settings
Spectre Stats can send you notifications to keep you on top of your competitions, reminders to log sessions, and updates about your account or subscription. You can customize which notifications you receive — and how you receive them — from the Settings section of the app.
🔔 Accessing Notification Settings
- Open Spectre Stats and go to Account.
- Tap or click Settings or Notification Preferences.
- Review the available notification options and toggle each one on or off according to your preference.
- Your changes save automatically.
⚠️ Verify: Confirm the exact navigation path to notification settings on both mobile and web, and whether settings save automatically or require a manual save action.
📋 Available Notification Types
| Notification | What It Does | Channel |
|---|---|---|
| Session Reminders | Reminds you to log a session on your scheduled competition days | Push / Email |
| Competition Updates | Alerts when a competition record has been updated or synced | Push |
| Performance Milestones | Notifies you when you hit a new personal best or average milestone | Push |
| Arsenal Reminders | Reminds you to log ball maintenance based on your usage history | Push / Email |
| Spectre Cloud Sync | Alerts when new ball or arsenal data syncs in from Spectre Cloud | Push |
| Account & Billing | Subscription renewals, payment confirmations, and account changes |
⚠️ Verify: Confirm the full list of available notification types, which are available as push vs. email vs. both, and whether any notifications are mandatory and cannot be turned off (e.g. billing emails).
📱 Enabling Push Notifications on Your Device
Push notifications are managed at the device level as well as within the app. If you've previously denied notification permissions, you'll need to re-enable them in your device settings.
On iOS
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Scroll down and tap Spectre Stats.
- Tap Notifications.
- Toggle Allow Notifications on.
- Choose your preferred alert style — Lock Screen, Notification Center, and/or Banners.
On Android
- Open the Settings app on your Android device.
- Go to Apps (or Application Manager) and find Spectre Stats.
- Tap Notifications.
- Toggle notifications on and adjust your preferences.
Note: If push notifications are disabled at the device level, in-app notification settings won't have any effect for push alerts. Make sure device-level permissions are enabled first.
✉️ Managing Email Notifications
Email notifications — such as session reminders and billing alerts — can be managed from within the app or directly from any notification email you receive.
- ✅ Toggle individual email notification types on or off under Account > Notification Preferences
- ✅ Click the Unsubscribe or Manage Preferences link at the bottom of any Spectre Stats email
⚠️ Verify: Confirm whether account and billing emails can be turned off, or whether they are sent regardless of notification preferences.
🔕 Turning Off All Notifications
If you'd prefer not to receive any notifications from Spectre Stats, you can either disable them individually in Account > Notification Preferences, or turn off all app notifications at the device level through your iOS or Android settings as described above.
Note: Turning off all notifications at the device level will also stop billing and account alerts from appearing as push notifications — though these will still be sent to your registered email address.

Tip: Session reminder notifications are one of the most useful features for league bowlers — setting a reminder for your regular league night means you're much less likely to forget to log a session before the details fade from memory.
