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.

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.

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.

Useless

I need not say more…

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

Nice Try

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

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!

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

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

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

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.

Thank you very much for your rating, truly awesome support! Hope that this app already saved you from unwanted situations due to power failures.

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.

Thank you for reporting the issue, you can always send a message on support via the app. This app is free and its main intention is to help people. Please check with the support first before submitting a review. There is a known issue with iPhone 5 & 5C but can not be found yet because it can not be reproduced. 4 iPhones 5 are with the developer team and the issue is still unknown.

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.

Response from developer

Thank you for noticing out the wireless issue. As reported is a rare issue because the app senses charging state and not if the cable is being used for charging.

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

That is truly awesome!! 😄 Thank you!!

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.

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!
