Notification Hub

A neat, widget-oriented approach to notifications. FREE | WWW.EMBERIFY.COM

If for some reason you’re unhappy with your Android phone’s in-built notification management, this new app provides a pretty good alternative. Once installed, you can choose from any app on your phone which supports notifications, and have them register with this app’s quite stylish and discreet front-page widget. This comes in the form of a bar which appears at the top of the phone screen, or you can open the Notification Hub app and see each notification in the order they arrived. It’s possible to upgrade to the Pro version, which allows Notifications Analytics (who wants this?) and notifications based on your location (could be useful), among other things. Notification Hub does what it says on the tin, but few Android users will desperately seek an alternative to the default. Still, there must be a niche of users who do want something better, and this is a worthy (and free) option.
