Our previous app was outdated and needed to be replaced. In 2025 we built a new app that was launched early November. Initially this was only for Android, but by now all smartphones should have the updated version. Here you can read about the progress we have made since the launch.
⚠️ Does anything listed here seem to be missing for you? Check the Play Store or App Store to see if there is a pending update for the Eitje app.

Push notifications
Regarding missing push notifications, some smartphones have not had this fix installed automatically with the this update. Please follow these instructions:
Check the settings in the app:
Use the menu in the bottom right corner to navigate to 'Settings'.
Open 'Notifications'.
Are they switched off? Then switch them on. Are they already on? Then switch them off, save, switch them on again, and save again.
If this isn't the solution for you, check your smartphone settings to see if you have allowed your phone to show notifications from Eitje.
Still not working? We recommend removing the app from your phone, and re-install it from the App Store.
You can test by asking a colleague to send you a chat message.
Please contact us if issues remain.
