Review summary

BuzzKill Notification Manager is praised for its powerful and customizable notification controls that help users reduce overload and tailor alerts effectively. Users appreciate the one-time purchase model and developer support. Common issues include occasional app freezes, problems with notification retention after restarts, limited location feature functionality, delayed audio alerts, and some inconsistencies in rule enforcement across devices. Overall, it significantly improves notification management and user experience despite minor bugs.

Pros

Highly customizable notification management with the ability to create specific rules for apps, keywords, and contacts.
Effective at reducing notification overload and helping users regain phone control.
Allows customization of vibration patterns, sounds, and batching of notifications.
No subscription, one-time purchase with lifetime access and no ads.
Developer is responsive and actively updates the app based on user feedback.

Cons

App occasionally freezes and requires force stop to recover.
Some users experience loss of notifications after device restart, especially those marked 'not dismiss'.
Location-based notification features rely only on Wi-Fi networks, limiting effectiveness.
Delayed audio notification sounds by about 2 seconds, which some users find annoying.
Rules sometimes do not apply as expected, e.g., repeated notifications within cooldown periods or incomplete blocking on paired devices like smartwatches.

2025-01-14	bu*****	great app! i get a lot of pointless links from someone i dont wanna block, and this is a great way to mute notifications like that specifically. i wish i could also mute notifications with videos instead of just images, but maybe a future update will support that. also, sometimes when i open the app, it freezes to the point where i have to force stop it. but other than those minor quirks, great app, highly recommend

2025-01-13	A *****	This app is certainly worth the money. It has helped me to manage notifications easily instead of having to go through every one individually. However, I do have a couple of issues. First, whenever I restart my phone, any notifications that I set to "not dismiss" disappear, with no easy way to retrieve them. Second, the "search" function which used to work for custom time-frames has stopped. Now, no matter what I do, I'm unable to restore any notification older than a day. Please fix.
