IMPORTANT: This application will only display power cuts in the areas managed by Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks. Please see the screen shots for a map of the areas covered. If you are outside these areas, please contact your energy distributor regarding any power cuts. We aim to update our mapping system in real time where possible. Information available includes: Fault reference number Emergency service centre number to call for more information or to report other power cuts Areas affected by the network faults (by post code)* Time the power went off Time the next status update is due* Time an engineer is expected to arrive* Time the fault should be fixed* Electric vehicle charge points location information in the proximity of current power cuts *Where available The app displays pins on a map overlay showing areas affected by current power cuts. Tapping on this pin gives you a link to more information about the problem. Power Track also provides a summary list of reported power cuts. Customers can register (and subsequently un-register) to receive automatic updates on any current power cut(s). These updates include: Time the next status update is due* Time an engineer is expected to arrive* Time the fault is expected to be fixed* Confirmation that the fault has been resolved* *When available Note: When the fault has been resolved it will no longer be visible on Power Track and the Push Notifications will no longer link to the fault. In normal circumstances each reported power cut will be represented on the UK map by an individual pin. Where we have a number of concurrent power cuts in a particular area a merged pin will be displayed in the centre of the affected region. When a customer zooms into this region of the map the merged pin will split out into the individual fault pins. There may be situations when severe weather conditions occur, which affects a large part of our network area(s). In these situations Power Track will provide an update for the whole affected area rather than for individual faults. ## Power Track Screenshots - [Screenshot 1](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource221/v4/86/18/51/861851cf-6622-38d5-d8d3-86229f0bc78c/904073cb-b683-4fb5-8068-2362f68b3213_ipad-2-2048x2732.jpg/2048x2732.png) - [Screenshot 2](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource221/v4/bd/a6/d7/bda6d71a-02d2-0ba9-ca80-ae7ce66c71af/26daf202-fecf-464d-8318-bb68b35822aa_ipad3-2048x2732.jpg/2048x2732.png) - [Screenshot 3](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource221/v4/a9/4e/5a/a94e5a42-ada2-bf10-b4f1-3a295525f021/a5b729e3-8b5a-475b-a2fe-df4b3979b197_ipad-3-2048x2732.jpg/2048x2732.png) - [Screenshot 4](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource221/v4/59/19/6d/59196d3e-fe84-ab6f-9951-39a63b1ae0f1/197a0224-9f3d-4b3d-8a43-8f1d824fbfc9_ipad-4-2048x2732.jpg/2048x2732.png) - [Screenshot 5](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource211/v4/de/bb/14/debb1472-30c6-5708-835e-de1d58e29c78/f16269d7-67ee-4a87-a10e-6962878b551b_ipad-7-2048x2732.jpg/2048x2732.png) - [Screenshot 6](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource221/v4/6a/10/c3/6a10c38e-b326-fc83-6d75-4f0613b87fea/29854496-8be1-4f64-a208-ee38a58993d3_ipad-8--2048x2732.jpg/2048x2732.png) - [Screenshot 7](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource211/v4/cd/70/d3/cd70d39b-4c27-2ec2-32d4-68bcb06415b7/de520ebe-3903-4c93-9c87-80ae50d79741_ipad-9-2048x2732.jpg/2048x2732.png) - [Screenshot 8](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource221/v4/6a/56/b6/6a56b6f5-7e78-8b19-cb7a-affbaa2a89bf/8baaf696-df07-40d7-9c09-ea9df9087fbd_ipad-10-2048x2732.jpg/2048x2732.png) - [Screenshot 9](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource221/v4/93/24/04/932404e1-ec77-5682-e757-2c40201ff22c/a60352cf-44da-403d-a9e8-94097b1257af_ipad-11-2048x2732.jpg/2048x2732.png) - [Screenshot 10](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource221/v4/6c/02/57/6c02571e-697d-562d-0859-5cf7727af6eb/a5fbade1-1e71-48d8-b71b-2d42c41aaa5c_ipad-2048x2732.jpg/2048x2732.png) ## Power Track Rating Breakdown in United Kingdom - 5 stars: 1,085 (79%) - 4 stars: 163 (12%) - 3 stars: 58 (4%) - 2 stars: 15 (1%) - 1 stars: 53 (4%) ## Power Track Reviews in United Kingdom ### ***** "Storm Reporting" Very good - but no use if the power is off unless covered by standby pan-network phone coverage. -- Rural residents, 2024-12-08 ### *---- "Doesn’t work on IOS18.1.1" Used to be great, hope they are going to update! -- Trman, 2024-11-26 ### ***** "Andy Cobb" Brilliant set up. Easy to do and follow. -- Andy14169, 2024-01-09 ### *---- "Shocking" You turn on electric to homes that are new builds and have plenty insulation, but were sitting hear freezing out arses of in a old cottage with no insulation shame on you -- Nix121, 2023-12-28 ### *---- "SSE is no more, why this app? OVO instead?" SSE Scottish and Southern enraged sold to OVO Energy in 2020 - So why does this app still exist?? Can the data it provides that is not covered by any SSE service still be trusted? -- Mal-G, 2023-12-11 ### ***** "Easy peasy to report outage!" Easy peasy to report outage! No hours spent on telephone reporting fault. Keep you updated via app or text and will call you if need more info. Very cool app. Thanks. -- charlesteton, 2023-11-02 ### ***** "Appy Happy" Superb App! Downloaded following a power cut (our house only in a rank) and immediately after entering my details I was sent text updates until the fault was resolved. Repaired sooner than expected too, which was even better. Highly recommend this App…you’re not just left wondering when you’re going to get you’re next hot drink! 😀 Thanks SSE -- Laughgirl467975215, 2023-09-15 ### ***-- "No updates for 7 hours!" SSEN why both with this app. The company did not provide any updates over a 7 hour power cut yet by phone they said someone had been onsite and meanwhile the app kept on saying “no engineer on way”. Pointless app! Just ring the call centre. -- appleiscrap373738, 2023-09-13 ### ****- "Fault reporting" No place to enter potentially useful information that could speed SSEN locating the fault. -- Calverti, 2023-09-10 ### **--- "Unreliable information" Great concept but the data needs to be maintained real time. For the outage I was interested in, the outlook flipped from being fixed Saturday night to Monday night - was actually fixed Sunday morning but the app / website was still showing Monday night as the fix date - come on SSE, you must have real time data to share?? Users desperately need to know. -- eaglejazz, 2022-02-20 ### *---- "Useless" Still saying power is cut, won’t be reconnected til 11pm, but power is definitely on. That may not matter to some, but it’s my parents who had the power cut, I’m 130 miles away, they’re old and infirm, land line is down, and I needed up to date info. Don’t bother. -- Tony7411, 2022-02-19 ### **--- "Over complicated method to track faults" This is an unnecessarily complicated tool to identify the possible cause and resolution time for a fault. The SSE website directs you to a phone number, the phone line directs you to the app, the app is ruined by a dialogue box suggesting EV charging locations - which cannot be removed. Fault data should be simply on the website. -- PeteLanc, 2021-11-30 ### *---- "Dire and useless" Absolutely dire app, so busy going on about ev charging you cant actually use the damn app, even if you get information from it the info is so outdated to be useless Just bin it and start again folks -- desperate dire wolf, 2021-11-29 ### *---- "Waste of time" Ok, shows some outages, normally all but not always, but this weekend the outage resolution times are all set to the same obviously false value making the data useless. Also on iOS the accessibility and fault detail colour schemes are appallingly bad to the point of breaking Uk disability legislation i suspect. Used to be better but now unreadable -- oldwhat, 2021-11-28 ### ***** "Dreadful upgrade" Was once a really useful app but now for some reason seems to be focused on EV charging points. I have deleted it. Please do better. -- Minor Parts, 2021-11-28 ### *---- "Terrible app" Badly designed and built. The app won’t let you add a photo to a damage report, only take the photo while standing next to the damage - not great when you’ve got a picture but have left the location because it’s dangerous or the weather is extreme. Can’t add text to a report because it blocks the submit button. No search function for report status in area. Generally crap, just when I needed it most because the phone system was even worse and either connected me to the wrong country, or nobody was answering the emergency call. -- Oomworthy, 2021-11-28 ### ***** "Useful in a power cut" Recent UPGRADE I had to install to work with latest iOS now give EV charging points near power outage. Great idea BUT the banner announcing this seems Permanent covering the bottom of the map ? Why? Please make it disappear after a while so we can see all the map. Good way of seeing if a power cut effecting your property is known about by SSE and to track their progress at sorting it out. Works on your phone when everything else at home needing electricity has stopped! -- Andy T8, 2021-11-27 ### *---- "One job" Useless, can’t see the map properly for that massive box going on about ev charging. -- Lamoie, 2021-11-27 ### *---- "Useless" Downloaded this to check power cuts. NOT interested in EV charging points but that seems all that you can click on! What good is an EV charging point if you have no electricity for lights and heating? Waste of space really -- RothieScot, 2021-11-27 ### *---- "Doesn’t appear to work" Website shows power outage but app has nothing. Can’t clear the EV pop up either, just hangs over and gets in the way of the app. -- Lumberjack matt, 2021-07-20 [View all Power Track reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Power Track Discovered Keywords - sse - power track ## Apps Similar to Power Track - [OVO Energy](https://apptail.io/app/ovo-energy-hsd/united-kingdom) - [BT Business: Broadband](https://apptail.io/app/bt-business-broadband-ltl/united-kingdom) - [myenergi](https://apptail.io/app/myenergi-Xoq/united-kingdom) - [Octopus Compare](https://apptail.io/app/octopus-compare-fCx/united-kingdom) - [Octo Aid: Energy Insights](https://apptail.io/app/octo-aid-energy-insights-xez/united-kingdom) - [Charge Anytime](https://apptail.io/app/charge-anytime-USD/united-kingdom) - [GivEnergy](https://apptail.io/app/givenergy-qklb/united-kingdom) - [FixMyStreet](https://apptail.io/app/fixmystreet-GWhj/united-kingdom) - [BankTheFood](https://apptail.io/app/bankthefood-rcij/united-kingdom) - [Fuse Energy](https://apptail.io/app/fuse-energy-jrLm/united-kingdom) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
