| 2024-06-20 |  | | it's reliable and helpful at all times. I have used it in different areas, and I always find it suitable and help me to prepare myself. the updates are always correct. You can switch to any area of our nine provinces at any time, and still, you will be posted with the correct schedule. It doesn't need much space on your devices .it's so convenient. |
| 2024-04-15 |  | | I have been using this reliable app since 2020. Not only is it free, but also flexible: convenient and multi-area functional. I love it. I rated this app two years ago (April 2022) My view of the app, since then, has not changed. The app loads fast, it is reliable, and free. And I have never experienced any buggy behavior. I am grateful to the developers for this elegant piece of software. |
| 2023-08-07 |  | | Great App! It works reliably, it's updated regularly, and it's stable and very configurable. Wishlist: I would love to be able to switch notifications on/off per monitored area, as well as a Widget, please! No complaints - It makes it easier to manage the frustration of loadshedding, and that's a win in my books! |
| 2023-06-24 |  | | It was good in the beginning but as of last week we've been having random loadshedding occurrences and there was no warning, due to this many of my electronic devices including PCs have been damaged due to the sudden power outages. This app helps alot, but if this issue is not fixed I wouldn't recommend this app anymore due to it's faulty nature and failure to notify sudden changes in the schedule. |
| 2023-04-14 |  | | Accurate, lets us know when exactly in the day we will be in the dark and without power.. yeeeey. Love the little pop up notifications when the power is about to cut. I extremely enjoy this app. and going through the settings adding and deleting areas is the best yet I must say. I absolutely love this app and it is the ultimate fave of all I have on my phone... 🥰🥰🥰 I have never been this happy and excited about an app. before. |
| 2023-03-15 |  | | This app used to be very accurate but lately it fails. Right now we have loadshedding in Eversdal from 12:00 to 14:30. This app did not show the outage on the schedule screen or in the notifications. It only updated after the fact and that is pointless. Since about 6 weeks ago, the other app that my housemates use, seems to perform better. Tank you Abisoft for your response. The problem seems to be solved. |
| 2023-01-19 |  | | I used to use the other major loadshedding app, but their chat/trending functionality is the pits, so I moved over to this app. No complaints. Everything works fine. The interface feels more cluttered, but that's just a style preference. This app works just fine and I don't have to put up with people airing their opinions to the world, which is nice. |
| 2022-12-20 |  | | Nice app. Much easier to see you schedule ahead at a glance than The Other App and flawlessly accurate. Only thing is - lately I'm getting random incorrect stage notifications. It's really not fun to get a notification saying 'Stage 6' when we're on stage 4. Especially since you have to take it seriously and check, because we might actually move to stage 6 suddenly... |
| 2022-09-19 |  | | Was accurate and correct, until we went above stage 4, and then the app didn't seem to show the longer load shedding interval (the 4.5 hour interval). Zone 5, Cape Town. Edit: Actually uninstalled the app and reinstalled again. It seems there was a setting to not show the stages above stage 4! Odd that even exists and led to the app showing the wrong information. |
| 2022-08-06 |  | | It was always very accurate and I could rely on it, until we hit stage six few weeks back. Now you can't even be sure like last night (5/8/2022). It showed that my area wasn't being loafshedded and then bam 20:00 the lights went out. But I do find it very appreciative that the two main areas I drive through aren't loafshedded at exactly the same time anymore. I also agree with the pin location suggestion. Would be a great help when traveling so you don't have to download each area. |
