User reviews

New text size

On my iPhone 12 with current is the text size for things like alerts is way too small. Changing the IOS text size for this app doesn't change the size. Bummer, I really like the app but this makes it hard to use.

App does not work

The app on my iPhone 11 Pro gives an Error message, and no information.

Very nice app

The app has a lot of great informative information. The ability to get power network alerts is helpful for personal conservation to lower demand. The ability to get localized alerts would be helpful. Power problems in areas that do not have an effect locally is extraneous. Would be nice to be able to turn on/off alerts for specific locales.

Very good app

This app has all the necessary information for the grid. Good job. There are a couple of problems one is that the alerts cannot be cleared. The other is that the page that displays the current state of the grid does not scroll properly when there are alerts on the grid status. I tried to refresh page or pull it but it is hard to use.

Correctable errors, otherwise great

Basically the general functions of the app seem excellent, with the alerts directly useful to consumers, the other data interesting and educational.

Bugs:
* On a smaller-screen iPhone (e.g., 6s) the items below Calendar on the Home Screen are difficult-to-impossible to reach. “Daily Briefing” is only half-visible, and can be tapped with care, but “Twitter” and “About Flex Alert” can only be seen while holding a swipe-up but cannot be tapped. * “Calendar” crashes instantly and reproducibly.

Fix these bugs and my rating would be 4+. Otherwise it seems like a great app. I like the plotting options and all the informative “(i)”-button help screens.

Feature request:
* Add an ability to see multi-day and seasonal trends.

Support previous commenter’s request for a home-screen widget! Show the current alert status, maybe with time remaining before the alert ends, and perhaps the current demand.
