Snooker Scores App - Notifications and Downloads

Notifications

I turned on the notifications for CSKA Moscow vs Manchester United last night to take note of what the Goal Live Scores App notifies you about, these were:

  • Team line-up information
  • A reminder that the match is on 30 minutes before kick off
  • Kick off
  • Goals
  • Half time
  • Start of second half
  • Full time
All the notifications took the below format

 

With this in mind I'll need to design notifications for:
  • A 30 minute pre-match reminder
  • The start of a match
  • A player scoring a century break
  • The end of a frame
  • The half time interval
  • The end of the interval
  • The end of the session

The notifications from Facebook and Twitter have a similar presentation to those of the Goal Live Scores App, a symbol/image on the left with two lines of text on the right, the top of which is in bold.

 

 

 

It seems that this is a convention that needs to be followed due to the similarities between notifications from all apps, and even notifications from the phone itself, which doesn't leave me much wiggle room.

The notifications for my app will look like this

 

 

 

 

When I tested the full WSA logo on the notification it was too small and the text looked messy, so I decided to use just the symbol. I stuck to black rather than one of the greens because it looked sleeker due to sticking to the grayscale colour theme of the rest of the notification box.

The app looks continues it's look into the the Google Play store easily as shown below.
