Are your push notifications helping, or just adding noise?

Many businesses still send notifications to devices, not people. That means your users might get the same alert on their phone, tablet, and laptop.

OneSignal is leading the way with a user-centric push notification model, and it’s a game-changer:

Recognizes each user across all their devices
Syncs notification preferences instantly
Stops duplicate messages from overwhelming your audience
Delivers personalized updates that follow the user, not just their device
Gives you real insights into real user behavior—not just device activity

What does this mean for you?

More relevant engagement, cleaner analytics, and a brand experience your users will actually enjoy.

If you’re building with Median’s App Studio, migrating to this smarter approach is simple. Just a few quick configuration tweaks and you’re ready to go.

Create push notifications your users will appreciate, not ones they mute.

For WholeFoodsMarket, fragmented communication and manual scheduling made it challenging to keep every team member informed and involved.

Going into 2025, many businesses have ‘build an app’ as a pressing business objective, and are ultimately faced with the question of which platform to target first: iOS vs. Android.

Choosing to develop an app for one platform over another is a critical decision, as it can significantly impact your app’s reach, performance, and profitability. That’s why it’s important to consider a few important factors, including:

📱The type of devices used by your target user base,
✅ iOS and Android app store requirements, and
💰The costs associated with developing an iOS app vs. an Android one.

Read all about which app type you should develop first (and the strong case for easily developing both at the same time, but without duplicating effort) in our breakdown via sidebar Magazine:

Security alert 🔒 Jailbreaking (iOS) and rooting (Android) devices enables users to bypass important security restrictions which can compromise the security posture of your app.

Industries handling particularly sensitive user data (like healthcare and banking) should be especially aware of the security risks involved with apps being operated on compromised devices. Some of these include data breaches, piracy, intellectual property theft, and inconsistent branding.

Want to avoid these risks? That’s easy — integrate Median’s Jailbreak/Root Detection native plugin into your app. It allows app developers to reduce risk by detecting whether a device is jailbroken/rooted, and more.
