Icon48 NHL gamecenter app for iPhone

I initially thought that this could be the best app ever invented because it is supposed to send push notification updates for your favourite teams. You can set it to send notifications when your team scores or game reminders and that sort of thing. I thought it would be awesome if I wasn't able to watch a Flames game and instead of checking the internet every 5 minutes on my phone the score would be sent to me! The only problem is that the push notifications don't work!

Is anyone else having the same problem?

Works fine here...just slow to deliver notifications (like 5 minutes after someone scores)

I downloaded it when it was first available. They worked for me for 1 game then stopped working.

There was an update last week and it seems to work properly again.

But yeah, the notifications are like 5 mins behind. Kinda ridiculous. In this age of instant everything that they cant get that down to like a minute.

I had the game alerts on for all 4 games last night but I didn't get a single notification! Not even the morning after, man this is frustrating. I might just have to switch back to using TSN Mobile if this thing isn't going to work.

The hockey news app works fantastic for push notifications.

Last year they had the Ice Time app, it was a work of art. When Calgary scored I could watch a bloody replay of the goal (if the game was on a major network), or watch the game in 5 minutes option later in the night.

Now they have ized the app and its terrible.

I use the Hockey news as well and its the fastest/battery efficient push app IMO.

Brings me back to the days of tapzing.com (way back when, circa 2000), when you would set it up to get text messages when your team scored or there was major news.

That sounds awesome! I didn't even have a cell phone back then...
Did it work reasonably well?
