App notifications

If you would like your phone to noti­fy you when I share a file with you, to remind you of upcom­ing lessons—or even to remind you to get some prac­tice time in!—you may do that in your TuneKey set­tings.  Just vis­it the Pro­file tab, then scroll down a bit to turn on as many noti­fi­ca­tions and reminders as you’d like!
