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.

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!

Edit: the developers got back to me in good time, and disabled the blaringly loud videos, and I respect that. Thank you. Surprising how one thing can ruin an experience entirely. Old review: (It's almost a good app, except for the video adds that blasts at full volume every time you change the menu, when nobody has wifi... Just get ESP instead, your ears will thank me.)

This is a great tool to schedure your around load shedding, but the added problem is, when you are dealing with people with other load shedding schedules. But the app also caters for these. One drawback is that the stored schedules cannot be rearranged to put them nextbto each other. Also when swiping from one area to the next, it looses sync with the other area. This would have to be fixed to work like the columns in a sprradsheet, then it even more user friendly!!

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.

It helps to know when the power is going te be off. The notification part of the app just doesn't work. And when eskom announces that load shedding will begin at a certain time the app keeps saying 'no load shedding ' untill it starts. So you might not see that the power wil be out until it's off. However then you can still check whether it is in fact load shedding or not. I LIKE THIS APP.. It makes navigating this power crisis possible.

Great app absolutely essential - Update 8 Oct 2020: since the last update, the notification function decided to follow a mind of its own. It uses a common notification sound associated with other apps, and does not allow me to change the sound (crashes when I attempt to edit the settings). This is getting to be VERY annoying... Degrading my rating to three stars only. Grrrrr

The service provided by this Developer is exceptional. Towards the end of last year I was not receiving advices of loadshedding. I emailed the Developer, they investigated, identified an issue, and within 3 weeks rectified the problem. Amazingly they emailed me to advise the issue had been rectified! Exceptional service - thanks peeps!!
