Dont get me wrong I love Homer's voice but his constant notification voices are starting to drive me crazy, does anyone know a way where you could change the notification from his voice to a regular iPhone "ding" cause its just a bit irritating hearing his voice all the time, especially when I only JUST exited the game only to get a notification right after, lol. I hope somebody can help me out here, cause I would still like to get them just not with his voice anymore.

Another thing I don't get....why would you want notifications for this game?

    I never heard his voice from notifications. I turned the notifications off in the settings of my phone.

    RS has a point there, don´t let this game enslave you! :mrgreen:

    I don't think there is a way to change the notification sounds for apps. I think it's build in. If the game was a part of Game Center, yes you can change it.

    Sorry, I just don´t know the correct answer since I never heard him talk...
    Maybe in the settings of the game, then? But I guess you already checked.

    I'm, of course, your classic stooge who really likes the notifications. Right now, my notifications are out of wack. I kinda rely on them to know when stuff is ready because I don't pay enough attention.

    the answer you're looking for is NO. an apps notification sound cannot be changed. only turned off. maybe on a jailbroken device but idk.

    I keep the banner notifications on, but turned the sound part off. It's nice because I still get notified without having to hear sounds.

    I could not imagine sound notifications for this game, I would definitely shoot it. I keep the badge icon, that is it. Even tried the banner one again the other day, hated it, gave me no real information. Was hoping to see names of people that visited my towns, but I always just got notification that a task was complete. I want notifications on who visited, what they did so I can delete the deadbeats....pricks.

    I turned off the notification sounds after the first time I heard it, I also turn my volume off because the in game sounds will annoy me after a few minutes and it will highly annoy the people around me (i.e. my roommate). My dad keeps all his sounds on and when I go to his house the sounds drive me nuts going off every 5 minutes.

    Keeping the badge icons on will give you notifications but just no sound? I only ask cause I am unsure and of course the moment I am trying to change this all is when nobody is actually done with tasks lol

    My good god man, you joined the forum at the beginning of November and it is only now that the Homer notifications have begun to annoy you? That's why I came to this forum in the first place to find out if they could be turned off. If they couldn't, I doubt that this game would have lasted a week.

    Yeah, I get banners on the top of my screen and lock screen but I don't hear any sound. In settings under notifications you can turn sounds off.
