### 4/5 — Don't alert if power is restored within xx min..

*2024-12-18, version 4.9*

Hello. It’s a great app, but I have a suggestion for you. Being able to set the alarm duration is clever. However, in addition to the alarm feature, there should also be a delay option to prevent false alarms. For instance, I’d like to determine the possibility of power returning within a specified time after a power outage. That way, I wouldn’t have to interrupt my sleep in the middle of the night. It’s a simple additional feature. I hope you consider my feedback. Thank you in advance. Best regards.

### 5/5 — top ... but

*2023-09-27, version 4.0*

it will be the Top with autorestart feature after reboot

### 4/5 — Does not send Notifications when the Screen is off

*2023-08-23, version 4.4*

Please prepare an update the app would be able to send Notifications or e-mail when the screen is off

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work - iPhone locked

*2023-06-26*

It doesn’t work, when you lock your iphone to turn off screen it won’t set off alarm. Doesn’t make sense, how is this supposed to alert me if my phone has to remain unlocked with screen on all night. Not sure how to request a refund. Disappointed.

**Developer response:** Hello, it does make sense since Apple would not allow monitoring battery in background. It says so both in app’s description and in the website poweroutage.app. You can always contact support via settings.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2023-06-22*

I need not say more…

**Developer response:** Hello there! Have you contacted support (through the app) in order to report any function not working?

### 1/5 — Nice Try

*2022-05-15*

Doesn’t actually send emails. Tried on two different iPhones.

**Developer response:** Hello there! Sorry to hear email is not working, please contact support to describe your issue in order to solve it. Tried in many many more than 2 iPhones and is working great, both emails and telegram functions. Thank you!

### 2/5 — Alert Sound = “DEAF”-CON 1

*2021-12-20*

The only alert sound is DEFCON-1 (nuclear war has started) - or better stated: “DEAF”-CON 1, which scared the crap out of my entire family and neighborhood in the middle of the night, when the power went out. So, PLEASE add selectable alert sounds so we can all use this otherwise useful app. - then I will give it a 4. Thanks

**Developer response:** Hello! I will give selectable sounds but the whole point is to awake you especially in the middle of the night! Soon to come though

### 1/5 — Blue thunder?

*2021-08-02*

This app screams android

**Developer response:** ???

### 3/5 — Great idea

*2021-07-24*

Unfortunately does not work with iOS 9.3.6 😬

### 1/5 — Don't Work

*2021-05-27*

Installed on my iPhone 5. Doesn't detect ANYTHING!

**Developer response:** Unfortunately on some older devices there is a still to be found bug. Really sorry for the inconvenience, a quest is on for this. Thank you for your rating
