Power Outage User Reviews

Don't alert if power is restored within xx min..

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.

top ... but

it will be the Top with autorestart feature after reboot

Does not send Notifications when the Screen is off

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

Doesn’t work - iPhone locked

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.

Useless

I need not say more…

Nice Try

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

Alert Sound = “DEAF”-CON 1

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

Blue thunder?

This app screams android

Great idea

Unfortunately does not work with iOS 9.3.6 😬

Don't Work

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

Black Out - Power Outage Email

Truly elegant software that does exactly what it says on the tin - very simply. Exactly what I was looking for.

Does not work as advertised

This app works on my iPad Pro but will not work with an iPhone 5C or an iPad mini. I verified both had the correct software update. I plugged them in to the charger and the battery indicator showed it was charging. The app kept telling me to plug it in, but it was already plugged in. Can’t get it to work.

It needs an update

It needs to be updated so users that have wireless chargers can use this anytime. Right now it only works when the phone needs to be recharged. Otherwise it forces you to use the cord.

Black out App

Can not fault this app, alerts me immediately if power cuts, rcd tripped etc! can then have the time to sort out anything that requires sorting as Use battery back ups for important stuff so can reset trip with no loss of service or reset of devices.

iPhone 5 e 5s prima funzionavano bene

Non funzionano piu come rilevamento mancata corrente app sul iPhone 5 e 5s. Non ho un 5c e un SE gen.1 per verificare.
Confermato pero che sul iPhone 6 in data di oggi 14agosto risulta tuttavia ancora funzionante come rilevamento power failure e invio email avviso. Gentile sviluppatore il problema riguarda ultimo aggiornamento

5 stars because this app is awesome
kai giati einai kai ellinas.. kai an den penepsoume to spiti mas... hahaha

Doing the job

I use it to be informed when my home power is out. I have lots of stuff in deep freezer and sometimes the power is out not due to the main grid but because of a short time over voltage and fuses must be put back to on. This app lets me know and I can call my neighbour to check the fuses. Thank you.

Would be better if it worked in locked screen too. Otherwise the Phone gets very hot.

Un problema

Era perfetta, da 5 stelle. Dopo l'ultimo aggiornamento non funziona più su iphone 5. Aggiornare. Grazie

Saves our coffee truck from freezing

The app is working perfectly for our coffee truck. It alerts us if we have a power failure while our coffee truck is in storage. We can respond before the water lines freeze and before the temp in the fridge gets in the danger zone. I can now sleep at night when the temp drops below freezing. Thanks!
