Also the app notifications are only roughly 1 minute or less before the in game beast message. I happened to play nod and have my tablet near me when a beast came out, and the tablet gave the notification less than a minute before the game did. It is really not a big deal if you have the app or not cause during that small time frame one can barely open the browser and load nod. I believe the app is more designed to notify people that are not at their computers that there's a beast so log on and try to kill it cause no way you'll find it
@Glitchless:
After the beast timer has been implemented the reason for the app has become slightly less important since not a lot of things can happen within the 20 minutes from when beast is found and when it stops giving bonus. Also have you considered providing us with a timer for the beast bonus itself?

Like hovering over it and seeing how much time we have left?
Thank you
