Downdetector

App and/or backend servers need overhaul! Can’t seem to update in my area! Often doesn’t report any problems even though I and my neighbours have reported multiple serious issues!

In my experience, Downdetector has never detected a realtime local Xfinity outage, even when I received a text from Xfinity acknowledging an issue with local outages. For my purposes it’s a warte-of-space app, which I deleted.

so uh, i play this game called BT6 Netflix, and so may some of you people out there, i was wondering if you could add both the versions of BTD6, the original BTD6 and the Netflix BT6

Fantastic app information wise. However, there’s a section for favorites which you used to be able to list the companies and sites that you use the most separately from all the others. This list no longer appears even though they are stared on the main page.

The website is far more responsive than the app. The app works good on the iPhone but when I installed it on my IPad, the app was stuck in the portrait position instead of the landscape orientation my iPad was in. Since I never use my iPad in the portrait position, I uninstalled it. Do better.

App isn’t bad, but one of the things that people use down detection sites for is to commiserate with other users having the same outage. IMO, Downtector needs to rethink using Disqus as their comment platform, because it does an extremely poor job. Comments are always out of date, login is always a hassle. Just about any other provider would be better and would make the Downdetector app a lot more user friendly.

No dark mode, no landscape mode on iPad, tiny fonts that are not sizable… it’s like it’s 2010 all over again.

I hope more services get added to this little app. A friend of mine who’s visually impaired told me about this app. Along with his partner who works at a radio station that I work at. I’ve kept this little app in my arsenal of utilities. It’s a great app to work with. I don’t have an account with them to report website outages. I really find that unnecessary in my personal opinion. I just look at the websites that are down to see what’s working and what’s not. This came in handy when I was having trouble with my Nintendo account.

Favorites STILL don’t work. SHAME…

The latest comments was 4 months ago!! Great app to check any outages but the comments don’t get updated like its website version. If you are looking at one particular service like T-mobile. Then check the website and app versions. The comments are totally different. On the website version can see the latest comments seconds ago, or an hour ago. The app version, the latest comments 4 months ago on the same exact service. That’s ridiculous! How do you see latest comment? Therefore, not sure how do you guys updated the comments or the charts are really real-time analysis? I can see the timeline on the chart is pretty updated but why not update the comments as well? Thank you.
