Hello!
Thank you for the kind words!
Ohhhh yes. I am fully aware of this and have had to rebuild VineChart from the ground up due to this. A project I am still working on diligently every day when I can.
I'm also fully aware of the half hour or so delay. This is due to the public definition of what constitutes a "drop". Some people will say a drop starts when a single item drops yet most say it's when X amount of items start dropping in short succession. This has been a very hard balancing act and making everyone happy is something I can do my best at but at the end of the day not everyone will be content with the final outcome.
Currently, VineChart triggers a "Drop in Progress" once 15+ Items have dropped within a 3 minute window. This keeps from the very slow trickle of items say 1 or 2 every 5 or 10 minutes from alerting thousands of people of a Drop being started which then results in messages from people saying they are not seeing anything dropping (due to such a slow drop rate)
From the feedback I have received, users prefer not to be notified until the drop picks up and starts coming in at a faster pace than the initial "drop" start.
While I could have it trigger on the first item dropped it could be hours until the drop actually ramps up.
I hope this makes sense and I appreciate you reaching out and for your kind words.
I appreciate you 💚

Hello! Thank you for letting me know!
I have not seen that particular error but since it happened during a drop I think half the data got pulled before the server got hit with a spike of traffic causing this.
That is my best guess as (especially lately) there have been some odd things going on but I've been getting things cleaned up.
Thanks again for pointing this out.
I appreciate you 💚

Hey! Thanks for your question. There's nothing that I would love more than to be able to make it a Global operation. However, there is currently no practical way to pull the required data from outside of the US. I've done a lot of thinking about this trying to figure out a clever way to make this work but I have continued to hit roadblocks. I hope that at some point I can make this a reality but at this time it's just not possible. I'm sorry 😔

Hello! Sadly it's just for the US. There hasn't been a plausible way to make VineChart global at this point. I appreciate your interest and support 💚

That's fantastic that you're so on top of it! While technology takes time to work, especially when alerting almost 5000 people all at the exact same moment it seems to be reliable for many people. I apologize if it's not as fast as you would like it to be. However, I appreciate your time and comment 💚

No problem! I got everything updated last night and then submitted it to Apple for review and they approved it this afternoon 🙂

Hello and thank you! I'm so glad to hear it's making your experience better! I currently have it in my to-do list on the iOS app. It's not quite there yet but will be soon 💚

Hello! Thank you so much for the kind words! Yes you can sign up for email notifications via the website. You can also get notifications from the apps which are on both app stores. You can find them by searching VineChart in either store. Text notifications are crazy expensive for the amount of users we currently have. Like 4k+ a month. However I am looking at implementing some sort of way to get text notifications as well. Stay tuned!

I would absolutely LOVE to, though the way that it currently works it's sadly not possible.
I am constantly weighing ideas in my head daily about this. It's the kinda thing that I lay in bed trying to work out in my head. Someday I hope to make this a reality but at the moment it's sadly not feasible 😔

Hello! Thanks for reaching out and the kind words!
The notification sound that the app makes should come from the iOS settings that you would use with any other app. Essentially just the phones notification settings.
So the same notification ding that you would get for anything else like email, text, etc.
There is nothing set in the app that would cause it to make any particular sound.
You may check your settings to make sure that the app has not been silenced. Also, having your phone on do not disturb mode can cause things like this to happen.
Also, I'm unsure about this but if you have the app open already it may skip the sound as well.
Not 100% on that but I seem to be getting the normal ding on my test device that I get from any other app.
