Vantage Fit sends you notifications to keep you engaged, celebrate achievements, and remind you of pending wellness tasks. These come in three flavors: push notifications, in-app bell alerts, and local reminders you can configure yourself.
Push Notifications
Push notifications appear on your phone’s lock screen and notification center. Here’s what you can expect:
Challenge Notifications
- Challenge started — a new challenge you’re enrolled in has begun
- Challenge completed — the challenge has ended and results are available
- Pending tasks reminder — you have uncompleted tasks for the day
Team Notifications
- Team invite received — someone invited you to join their team
- Team invite accepted/rejected — someone responded to your team invite
Rewards & Achievements
- Points credited — appears as a popup when you earn points
- Task completed — appears as a popup confirming a task completion
- Badge earned — you’ve unlocked a new achievement badge
- Leaderboard update — your position on the leaderboard has changed
- Gift voucher sent — someone has sent you a gift card
Wellness Nudges
- Mood check-in — gentle reminder to log your mood
- Water intake — nudge to track your hydration
- Food logging — reminder to log your meals
Device & Social
- Garmin connection failed — your Garmin sync has stopped working
- Chat message — someone sent you a message in a group chat
- Workout ready to import — a workout from your wearable is available to import
Other
- App rating prompt — occasional request to rate the app
In-App Bell Notifications
The bell icon in the top navigation bar shows your notification feed inside the app.
- Notifications appear in chronological order, newest first
- Tap any notification to navigate directly to the relevant screen (e.g., tapping a challenge notification opens that challenge)
- Notifications are marked as read when you view them
- An unread count badge appears on the bell icon when you have new notifications
Tip: Check your notification bell regularly — it’s the quickest way to find out what needs your attention without scrolling through the whole app.
Local Reminders (Configurable)
These are reminders you set yourself to build daily wellness habits. They trigger at the times you choose, even if the app isn’t open.
To configure reminders, go to Settings > Reminder Settings. You can set reminders for:
| Reminder | What It Does | Configurable Options |
|---|---|---|
| Mood | Reminds you to log your mood | Time of day, repeat days |
| Water | Reminds you to drink water | Time of day, repeat days |
| Breakfast | Reminds you to log breakfast | Time of day, repeat days |
| Lunch | Reminds you to log lunch | Time of day, repeat days |
| Snacks | Reminds you to log snacks | Time of day, repeat days |
| Dinner | Reminds you to log dinner | Time of day, repeat days |
For each reminder:
- Go to Settings > Reminder Settings.
- Tap the reminder you want to configure (e.g., Water).
- Set the time you’d like to be reminded.
- Select which days of the week the reminder should repeat.
- Toggle the reminder on or off.
Tip: Set your water reminder for mid-morning and mid-afternoon — those are the times most people forget to hydrate.
What You Can Control
Here’s a quick summary of what’s in your hands and what isn’t:
| Setting | Can You Control It? |
|---|---|
| Local reminder times and days | Yes — fully configurable in Settings |
| Leaderboard opt-out (affects some notifications) | Yes — toggle in Settings |
| All push notifications at the OS level | Yes — disable via your phone’s notification settings |
| Selectively disable specific system notification types | No — not available at this time |
Note: If you turn off push notifications at the OS level (iPhone Settings or Android Settings), you won’t receive any Vantage Fit push notifications at all — including important ones like challenge starts and points earned. Consider using “Do Not Disturb” schedules instead if you want quieter periods without losing notifications entirely.
Leaderboard Opt-Out and Notifications
If you opt out of the leaderboard, you’ll stop receiving some competitive notifications like leaderboard position updates. You’ll still receive all other notification types — challenge reminders, points, badges, and wellness nudges.
