Are iOS push notifications needed for this use case?

[Keith Clarke]

Thanks for the confirmation that it's push notifications I need, Tom. 

Before I put LiveCode on ice as a platform for iOS apps (as I've already had to for web apps), are there any examples of these third-party solutions that play nicely with LC?
Best,
Keith..
