I already updated to iPhone 3.0 release on 17th June here in UK, and I have latest version of IM+ 3.0 but I got no push notifications what so ever. Only notifications I get are the one that comes to your email but not the push notification that will pop up on your screen. Im using iPod Touch 2G, with iPhone OS 3.0 update, I live in UK can this be problem why i don’t get push notifications?
I tried it out too and no push, I am glad I didn’t pay for the full version. Hopefully they get that working.
Hey Nakki, I just checked, they will release new version soon and it will include App Push Notifications so no vorries. Hope I helped.
