I’m not receiving notifications — what do I do?

What to check if you’re not getting notifications for games, practices or announcements.

If you’re not getting notifications for games, practices or announcements, try the steps below in order.

1. Check your phone’s notification settings

The app doesn’t have separate settings per notification type. All notifications are controlled together through your phone’s settings.

On iPhone:

  • Go to Settings → Notifications.

  • Find PlayerDex in the list.

  • Make sure Allow Notifications is on.

  • Check that Lock Screen, Notification Center and Banners are enabled.

On Android:

  • Go to Settings → Apps → PlayerDex → Notifications.

  • Make sure notifications are enabled.

  • Check that Battery Saver isn’t blocking the app in the background.

2. Check Do Not Disturb

If your phone is in Do Not Disturb, Focus or Silent mode, notifications may not appear. Turn it off temporarily and try again.

3. Make sure you’re connected to the internet

Notifications need an active connection (WiFi or mobile data). If your phone was offline when a notification was sent, it may arrive late or not at all.

4. Restart the app

Fully close the app (from recent apps, not just minimise it) and open it again. Often that’s enough.

5. Check you have the latest version

Go to the App Store (iPhone) or Google Play (Android) and make sure no update is pending.
