Hi npem! :D Sure there are! :) That's exactly what push notifications where made for :)
Why don't you just store your users appointments server side somewhere, and send push notifications to their devices when the date is due? It's almost the textbook example of push notifications in fact :) 1 table in any format (from TXT/CSV to SQL), 1 php to receive and store data, 1 cron job to check due dates and send notifications, and you're done for 0.0$ :) On Fri, Jul 7, 2017 at 10:13 AM, npem <philip.med...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks for the information. > > It's certainly worth a consideration if no better options present > themselves:-) > > Phil > > On Thu, Jul 6, 2017 at 6:06 PM, Erik J.
