Hello people!!
I do stock trading and I have an app that alerts me when a price hits a certain price point. However, the only problem is that I use so many apps that it is hard to differentiate which app just sent me an alert when the phone is in my pocket. I don't want to pull out my phone every little notification to check.
My questions is, is there any way were I can change the alert type for just THIS APP, so that when it alerts, maybe my phone vibrates two times or three times - just setting a custom vibrate option. Does iPhone allow us to set custom notifications? Let me know thanks!
 
At least as far as vibration goes, you can change things like that for certain OS alerts, but not so much for app alerts unless perhaps the app itself might offer something like that. For sound, often apps have different alert sounds already, so that could be used to differentiate them.
