Potential if the tick tick is gone
This would be a great app if I could sleep while it’s monitoring. Who wants to try and sleep as it’s going tick tick tick tock. So annoying.
A must have
If you live in a hurricane prone area, this app will let you get some sleep at least till the power goes out!
Nice app
I tried since a long time to develop it in iOS Shortcuts without success since Shortcuts can’t run while the iPhone is not used for a certain period.
This app is working great
Questions/Suggestions:
- Do you have any way to automatically start and enable the app when we set the “do not disturb mode” Ex.: night mode with power outage alarm?
- Do you have a way to send repetitive text message to one or multiple people? Ex.: Send repetitive messages (ex.:10 sec) to myself. In this case, my Apple Watch vibrate every 10 sec until I wake up .

Worked like a charm.
I got this app when power was out and I was runnning on a generator. It alerted me in the middle of the night when the propane ran out. Very simple app. Does what it promises. Worked like a charm. I was glad to pay $0.99 for something that served me so well. May 2024
Awesome
Wakes me up if the power goes out, so I can start the generator to power the sump pump, to keep my basement dry. Thanks.
Peace of mind
In a heavy rain our basement stays dry only when our sump pump is working. When power goes out we have a battery backup pump that should activate. However, one time the backup system failed and our basement flooded. If necessary we have a generator. However I need to be aware that power has gone out, which might not be the case if it happens overnight while I’m sleeping. Knowing this product will alert me so I can check the pumps and basement lets me sleep without stressing.

Great App
I’ve used this App during several times very cold temperatures, when the possibility of power loss is great. If the power goes out during the night I need to know so I can take action of draining the pumps for our pool. One small question. Recently the app shows a message by displaying the number 1. I see a restore purchases button and it has removed the notification. Now the number 1 just stays on the screen. I don’t see a way to contact the developer. Over all a great app. Thanks.

Thank Goodness!!
I own a small adult family home and CANNOT be without power! I have a gas generator but need to know when power is out so I can start it up. This app saves me all the worry of not knowing if the power is out or not! So happy with this app!! I won’t lose another nights sleep due to checking power!
Great for monitoring fish tanks or for caregivers
Pros
-I can lock my phone, and the alarm still goes off (during tests, at least); no need to keep the screen unlocked with the screensaver the app just needs to armed and left running in the background (testing while writing this review)
-programmable alarm delay in case power is restored quickly
Cons
-can’t change the sound of the alarm; typical panic alarm sound. But it gets the job done if power supply is critical.
-only has an email option; an SMS option might be critical for when the app is setup to notify a caregiver of a power outage
Suggestions
-alternate alarm sounds
-Home Screen arm-alarm widget (nothing fancy)
-Data network disconnect detection/alarm (if the power goes out, the WIFI will likely disconnect). This might be an alternate solution for someone who doesn’t have a charger on-hand, or beside the bed.
All-in-all, this app serves my need and will let me know if there’s an outage. I care for two saltwater fish tanks, one 30g and one 140. The power can be off for Andre hours without much harm to tanks, but the real fear here is the skimmer pump turning back on when the power does, and it could overflow if the sump’s water level hasn’t equalized, which would dump skimmate into the water and nuke my tank. I’ll be paying for the 99¢ app even tho I don’t need the additional functions, it would be nice to support a developer that might be willing to support added features!
