| 2024-11-08 |  | | Just installed it. It's simple and exactly what I was looking for. You can easily try it yourself, without worrying about ads or accidentally buying or installing something. May not be what you're looking for but it's simple to test and decide for yourself. |
| 2024-02-12 |  | | Excellent app , no disappointment to alert you. Feel free to download |
| 2023-10-09 |  | | Really great. Thank you Dave Truby. No ads. This app keeps my aquarium inhabitants safer in case the power goes at night when I am asleep. |
| 2023-09-18 |  | | It works fine. I use it to warn when there is a power outage. As such, I wish there was a larger selection of alarm sounds that included less jarring alarms than it currently offers. When one of them go off in the middle of the night I practically hit the ceiling. The voice alarm is better but still disturbing at night. Can the alarm choices already on the phone not be used? Also, 4 or 5 wks ago, started getting false alarms. Not sure if it is the app or the phone changed. Prior, there was none |
| 2023-07-29 |  | | Nope. Disconnected partway but no alarm. Original: It works but vibrates while trying to hook power wire up. I have a bad internal connecter, so constant vibration while trying to start charging is annoying. Only the audible alarm waits time i choose. But vibrates immediately upon disconnect. PLEASE PAUSE VIBRATE TOO. THANKS. No ads so far. Thanks. VIBRATES WHEN ANSWERING PHONE IF UNPLUGGED WHILE ANSWERING AND CANT SPEAK OR HEAR. |
| 2023-07-11 |  | | Great app |
| 2023-05-02 |  | | Does what it says on the tin. I use this when there is bad weather to wake me up in the event of power loss so I can keep my reptiles alive. The vocal alarm sound is rather amusing |
| 2022-09-05 |  | | Is great for power outage alert if im sleeping washes me up so I can get generator out so my reef aquarium won't start dying.. death starts at 2hrs very easy to wake up 5 his sheet a power outage and freak out.. thnx to u guys for the free app that's saved me thousands$$ in livestock fish and other corals and critters of the aquarium.. in and to jump out of bed get the overflow turned off get generator going all working within 5 minutes and wait for power to go on.... |
| 2022-08-02 |  | | i like to use the unplug warning (only); app does what it should except cant adjust alarm vol (other than silent) it's always Loud:( no matter settings & no matter the phone system vol settings; also it would be nice if there was an alarm option to be the system [current/default] sound instead of a "siren" or yelling; currently i use the none (silent) alarm - it would be nice if a banner could drop down when the vibrate starts (have this as an option instead of a full screen alert?) |
| 2022-05-14 |  | | I was looking for an app to sound an alarm if the power went out while I was sleeping so I could fire up the generator and keep the basement from flooding and here we are. Works great, thanks Dave |
