Past Notifications

We all receive several Notifications on our phones every day. Some are important, some not so important. But in our hurry, sometimes, we delete the important ones. Some important ones run in several lines, and cannot be read. Sometimes, we reboot our phones and lose all our notifications.

Past Notifications solves all that. Just install the app, give it the required permissions and you are good to go. Irrespective of whether you have deleted your notifications or not, Past Notifications holds an easy to read Notification History. You can see all your notifications in either Chronological order or App wise order. If you put an app on the Ignore List, the  Notification will not be stored in History and will be ignored.
