Soo uhh.. I'm not getting notifications from devrant until I open the app up myself.. Now I wonder if this is a bug or if my phone is just sucking at its job again

Same. It's been like this for about 7 months now. :/

@Michelle odd. My notifications worked before, but I deleted my account and made this one and now they dont

A lot of phones have some battery saving shit which puts apps to sleep. This stops them from checking online until you open the app. This happened on my last two phones, there's a spot in settings where you can change which apps are monitored, but I can't remember now because it wasn't in a logical spot imo.
