I’d suggest emailing the developer. I sent some feature suggestions earlier this afternoon and got a nice email back. The contact details are on the website (Under the about tab).

Good luck!

It sounds like it’s not push that’s the problem, it’s a problem with the app registering the device on the prowl website. Therefore, pushes are not sent to the device at all. So whether or not other push apps work doesn’t have anything to do with the problem.

Wish I could help, but my Prowl set up fine.

I’ve installed the preference pane, configured it to notify me, but the main problem is that my device won’t show on the “devices” tab. So, i can’t even send a notification from the website.

In the meantime, i’ve just installed Textfree lite, which has push and its working. I’ll wait for a possible update to fix this.

[...] Prowl is a $3.99 app to get push notifications on your iphone from any Mac running Growl. See the Mactalk discussion here. I don’t really get all this ‘push’ malarkey. How does anyone get any work done with all these frigging notifications popping up all the time? Anyhoo, I’m sure the kids love it. [...]

@Carlos – Also, do the notifications from the website work?

Have you installed the actual prowl preference pane – and then set the notification to prowl?

Yeah… tried almost everything. Reinstalling the app, rebooting, enabling/disabling notifications (per app and general), but nothing makes it work.

But what drive me nuts is that other apps have push working, like AIM, IM+ and Rolando 2.

Still trying to figure out…

Bought this yesterday – works beautifully. I’ve got a couple of shell command scripts which call growlnotify, and this app just makes the entire process even nicer.

Really hoping that the 1.1 update will bring more polish to the user interface.

@Carlos – have you tried doing a hard reset?

I’m also having problems with this. Bought the app but my device never appears on the website. And no, my phone is not jailbroken (hacktivated).

Anyone else got it working?

for the few people who were interested in running this without a Mac – Prowl is already integrated into Growl for Windows and will be available in the next beta release (set to be publicly available in the next couple of days).

I’ve noticed some issues with the service lately. Hoping they will get it sorted out.
