My app opens a site from which I can listen to an audio stream! I would like to refresh the site with a button.

If you want to refresh the page in the Web Viewer, create a button when you click on which the WebViewer.URL property will be assigned the url of your site.

If you want to update the page code of the site, then using the Web API component, send the request and data to your server-side script (php) which will make changes to the site.

Maybe [Stay Alive!](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.synetics.stay.alive&rdid=com.synetics.stay.alive) from Google Play is right for you.

I correctly understood that you want on Android to make sure that the selected application was always visible on the screen and did not go into hibernation mode? Thunkable X has no way of doing it, but third-party applications can. Stay Alive! Keep screen awake - this application can be used to turn off stand-by mode for selected applications.

so with Thunkable it is not possible to put repeated notifications with the use of a timer?

How do you want to do this? I can be wrong, but Thunkable X with notifications does not work.

Yes! Therefore, I suggested using a Stay Alive! 😉 It’s not known when the support for notifications will appear, so I suggest other solutions
