Enabling Notifications
Turn on push notifications so you don't miss announcements, messages, or updates during an event.
Before You Begin
- Make sure you've downloaded the Maestro app and are logged in.
- You'll need to allow notifications when your device prompts you.
Allow Notifications
The first time you open the Maestro app, your device will ask if you'd like to allow notifications. Tap Allow to make sure you receive updates in real time.
If you accidentally denied the notification prompt, you can enable it from your device settings:
On iPhone or iPad:
- Open the Settings app.
- Scroll down and tap Maestro.
- Tap Notifications.
- Toggle Allow Notifications on.
On Android:
- Open the Settings app.
- Tap Apps (or Apps & Notifications).
- Find and tap Maestro.
- Tap Notifications.
- Toggle notifications on.
What Notifications Will I Receive?
Maestro sends push notifications for these types of updates:
Announcements — When your event organizer posts an announcement, you'll get a notification with the title and content. Tapping it opens the full announcement in the app.
Scores & Commentary — When your event host releases scores or judge commentary for your group, you'll get a notification letting you know they're available. Scores and commentary are not sent automatically after each performance — they are only delivered once the event host chooses to release them.
Important: Scores and judge commentary notifications are controlled by your event host. You will only receive these notifications after the host has officially released them — not immediately after a performance. If you haven't received scores yet, they may not have been released.
Messages — When someone sends a message in your event's chat, you'll get a notification. Tapping it takes you straight to the conversation.
Tip: If you're actively viewing a chat conversation in the app, you won't get duplicate notifications for new messages in that same conversation. The app is smart about not interrupting you.
Files — When new files are shared for your event, you'll get a notification. Tapping it opens the files screen.
Turning Notifications Off
If you'd like to mute notifications temporarily — for example, during a performance — you can turn them off in your device's notification settings using the same steps above, and toggle them back on when you're ready.
