Inbox notifications?

I'm not getting notified when I have a reply to my posts. Is there some setting I am missing?

I realize push notifications are an extra paid feature. Not asking about push notifications, just asking about some indication that I have replies when I open the app.

There's this
- Thanks. I use the side drawer navigation though, not the bottom bar.
  
  I agree there should be a visual notification in the side drawer too.
  
  Maybe you could open an issue on the GitHub.
  
  Hey, since you use side drawer nav, I was wondering if Sync crashes for you if you go to your inbox from the left drawer and change from that spot (maybe "all replies"?) to another spot like " all mentions"?
  
  Left drawer
  
  inbox button
  
  change view (from all replies to unread mentions, for example)
  
  Crash?
  
  Thanks, if you decide to test and reply! (And have a good day, either way!)
The app doesn't feature any form of notifications, just a small badge on the inbox tab when you open the app rn.
- Would be nice if there was a badge on the three-line hamburger menu as well.
  
  Yeah, in my experience, with the side drawer nav, there doesn't seem to be a badge. Only in the bottom nav. And it's not really useful to me since it doesn't seem to show up until hours later, and even then I basically just go to the inbox itself to check.
  
  Yeah, I agree. Could always submit an issue on GitHub and see if the dev wants to add it.
It didn't look like there was a related issue, so I submitted one. Hope I captured the spirit of the issue - feel free to comment there if I missed something!

- Hey, very helpful! Thanks.
I don't get notifications, badges, or even push notifications, nothing. I'm using the paid app. I have to remember to go to inbox and check for messages once every couple days
