### 2/5 — Cant delete added suburbs.

*2015-05-18, version 1.7.4*

Cant delete added suburbs.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2015-02-11, version 1.0.0*

No Cape Town suburbs and I can't delete a suburb if it's the only 1 in the list

### 1/5 — Don't bother

*2015-02-10, version 1.0.0*

Buggy keeps crashing, and many suburbs/areas not listed.  If you are spending any time in SA and need to know when there will be power try the Eskom app instead.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work. Don’t even download

*2020-02-05, version 3.1.4*

Kazz

### 1/5 — Useless

*2019-03-17, version 3.1.4*

Cannot find my Suburb although listed on Eskom. This app is useless.

### 1/5 — Unusable App

*2019-02-11, version 3.0.0*

Basically this app is unusable. It tells you what news24 would tell you, nothing more. 

There is no information for the suburbs. Many suburbs not even listed in Tshwane.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t seem to work

*2018-12-02, version 2.1.0*

It appears as though the app is no longer getting maintained?

### 1/5 — Can't comment. App load sheds.

*2015-09-21, version 2.0.0*

Keeps crashing on opening - needs to be updated again for sure.

### 1/5 — Stop Spamming!

*2015-09-19, version 2.0.0*

You're a loadshedding app, not a general notification app for rugby scores, public holidays and general spam announcements. GOODBYE!

### 1/5 — Crashes on opening

*2015-09-19, version 2.0.0*

Latest version crashes upon opening.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2015-06-02, version 1.7.4*

App is useless don't download!!

### 1/5 — Expected a little more.

*2015-05-24, version 1.7.4*

Pretty much like downloading an app as frustrating as the schedules the municipalities give us.

### 1/5 — Utter JUNK!

*2015-02-15, version 1.0.0*

If you want an app that takes forever to load a municipal website instead of actually getting you the info you need- this is for you..

### 5/5 — Access violation error

*2015-05-19, version 1.7.4*

Hi there. Having issue with app when opening, says access violation need to contact app creator. Please help.

### 5/5 — Easy to use & informative

*2015-05-09, version 1.7.0*

The information is well laid out and adverts (cause it's free) are discreet. Up-to-date with customizable notifications makes this a MUST HAVE app for the moment in South Africa

### 5/5 — Good App

*2015-05-04, version 1.7.0*

Hasn't been wrong yet

### 5/5 — Great app but schedule not updating.

*2015-04-14, version 1.6.2*

Hi,

App used to work great for me. I get the push alert for my city but my schedule for my area does not load. 

Walmer, Port Elizabeth.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2015-02-11, version 1.0.0*

Great app and keep up the great work.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2015-02-09, version 1.0.0*

Great app, thanks for the effort in putting this together. Really useful to have all this info in a well layer out App.

### 4/5 — Still not working

*2015-05-23, version 1.7.4*

Been more than a week now. Pity, it was my favourite loadshedding app but uninstalling it after leaving this.

### 4/5 — Prior versions 4 stars, current 1

*2015-05-20, version 1.7.4*

Prior versions were great quick loads and usually accurate.  Latest version won't run due to some violation of security policies.  It's been a couple of days and stop no update.

### 3/5 — Seems like a good idea. Still a few suburbs missing but I'm sure you'll add them soon.

*2015-04-19, version 1.7.0*

Few of the Bloemfontein suburbs are supported. I tried: Universitas, Langenhofenpark, Brandwag (in Bloem) and Heuwelsig. None of which was supported. 
I hope you add them soon 👌

### 2/5 — There are better options now...

*2015-06-10, version 1.7.4*

This app works and sends you notifications when the stage changes. 

But there are more slick options now, I'd recommend channelling your inner cape flats gangster at Eskom for the name of the best one...
