I have a question about the first four days
For four days, Flappie detects and records events but does not block prey. This is intentional. Prey blocking activates automatically afterwards.

I have a question about notifications
Push notifications already work for supported events. The settings for choosing individual notification types are not live yet and will arrive in a future app update.
