3 OVERVIEW PROMPT Visual Notification Pod is a desktop tool that delivers your mobile device notifications at a glance. Customized to you, Prompt uses multi-colored lights to communicate various alerts your device may receive. Use the PROMPT to see when you receive notifications without having to take your phone out of your pocket, bag or purse. Use the free Incipio app for ios and Android to customize your notification colors. In ios, the PROMPT uses ANCS (Apple Notification Center Service) protocol to display notifications.

In ANDROID, the PROMPT requires the PROMPT Notification App in order to receive alerts on a your PROMPT device. The app will need to be downloaded prior to connecting to the PROMPT via Bluetooth.
