The new Pushbullet Channel on IFTTT makes it easy to get notifications for the things you care about from over 80 apps on the web. This is really cool!

Been waiting for the app? You can grab it from the App Store here!
Pushbullet is all about making moving things between devices easy and fast.
Until today, however, our service wasn't available to a lot of people because we didn't support pushing to or from iOS devices.

Awesome! So what does the app let me do?
