        That turns off all notifications for that app. FilterBox let’s you block them based on key words or other criteria. It’s like a spam filter for notifications.

          Neat. I feel like so many apps spam you with unnecessary bullshit because their core functionality uses notifications and they have their foot in the door that way.

          For some apps at least, you can turn off notifications by category. Usually that takes care of any annoying ones.

            The apps that abuse notifications like to mix useful notifications in with the spam so you can’t turn them off individually, it’s all or nothing. FilterBox let’s me give them the finger by getting the useful notifications without the spam.
