For the best experience, and to continue to receive all the notifications, you should open the app at least once every week.
The reminders for Rosh Chodesh, Shabbat, ‘Omer and other alerts, are implemented with iOS Notifications.
An application is able to register a certain number of scheduled notifications that the system presents at the specified time in the future, even when the app is not open or not in the foreground. However, Apple limits the total number of scheduled notifications that a given app can add to the queue. The delay is not limited, but, given the number of events that CalJ must register even for a relatively short period, the app cannot schedule many Shabbat or Anniversary alerts in the future.
When you open the app, CalJ programs the notifications that should pop in a near future. If you open the app regularly, you give it the opportunity to keep on scheduling the upcoming alerts. If you keep the app closed for a long time, past the last scheduled notification, then there are no more reminders for you, until you reopen CalJ.
In addition, you may verify that the App was granted the necessary permissions to display Notifications, and that the banners are configured as permanent.
Please add
Option for hag reminders. Like for shabbes. Thanks
Hi, Shana tova,
I will see what I can do!
I have a similar problem with my Android (Samsung Galaxy 8 Plus running Android 9).
I have CalJ set to show Rosh Chodesh notification at 2pm in the afternoon. But nothing happens. I opened the app today at 5pm and only then did the notification show.
I checked every setting I can think of in CalJ and the phone, but all notifications are on and CalJ is allowed to run in the background even with Data Saver on.
Can you help?
Many thanks,
Hi,
On Android, this is different.
Can you make sure that the app has been installed on the internal memory of the device? (as opposed to an external SD card)
Thanks
Hi Gabriel,
I too cannot find my notifications. I am using an iPhone wich is up to date. (Ios 15.5). I do consult the calendar frequently.
Hi, thank you for using my app.
Can you check if the notifications shape is “Permanent Banner”, in iOS Settings?
I have iPhone 11
Notifications have stopped
I open app many times every day!!!
Please help me
Hi, thank you for using my app.
At the moment I have no idea… what is your iOS version? and CalJ version?
Thanks,
Gabriel
I assume when you ask if banners are “permanent” it is the same in iOS 16 on iPhone8 as “persistent”?
Yes, most probably.
Hi, I have an iPhone 16 with iOS 18.2. My CalJ app is updated to v5.18. I get all the notifications set up on CalJ besides for the Omer reminders even though it’s turned on, on the app? Any idea how to fix this?
Hi,
Thank you for using my app.
I’m not sure what can be the cause of the problem. It seems to work on most devices and systems. Maybe something in the system’s settings about notifications and categories?
I will try to understand. If you know someone who uses the app and their Omer notifications work, please try to check the differences in the configurations of your devices.
Thanks,
Gabriel
