Power Failure & Outage Alarm

Overall, it does its job extremely well and the lifetime premium is definitely worth it. I definitely would recommend to people with frequent power outages. One thing though: there should be an option to change the alarm sound effect. Why? Because I believe the current alarm sound is too aggressive.

It worked great but now it’s stopped

If you live in a hurricane prone area, this app will let you get some sleep at least till the power goes out!

I got this app when power was out and I was runnning on a generator. It alerted me in the middle of the night when the propane ran out. Very simple app. Does what it promises. Worked like a charm. I was glad to pay $0.99 for something that served me so well. May 2024

Maybe it’s me but can’t get it to work properly. Sounds the alarm when activated, being charged, every few minutes. I have an iPhone and am not using the low power feature. Any suggestions, like the idea.

In a heavy rain our basement stays dry only when our sump pump is working. When power goes out we have a battery backup pump that should activate. However, one time the backup system failed and our basement flooded. If necessary we have a generator. However I need to be aware that power has gone out, which might not be the case if it happens overnight while I’m sleeping. Knowing this product will alert me so I can check the pumps and basement lets me sleep without stressing.

I’ve used this App during several times very cold temperatures, when the possibility of power loss is great. If the power goes out during the night I need to know so I can take action of draining the pumps for our pool. One small question. Recently the app shows a message by displaying the number 1. I see a restore purchases button and it has removed the notification. Now the number 1 just stays on the screen. I don’t see a way to contact the developer. Over all a great app. Thanks.

Worth it! One time purchase for the outage alerts. Money well spent. Any plans to support Macs? Would love to get alerts from MacBooks. Thanks!

I own a small adult family home and CANNOT be without power! I have a gas generator but need to know when power is out so I can start it up. This app saves me all the worry of not knowing if the power is out or not! So happy with this app!! I won’t lose another nights sleep due to checking power!

Pros -I can lock my phone, and the alarm still goes off (during tests, at least); no need to keep the screen unlocked with the screensaver the app just needs to armed and left running in the background (testing while writing this review) -programmable alarm delay in case power is restored quickly Cons -can’t change the sound of the alarm; typical panic alarm sound. But it gets the job done if power supply is critical. -only has an email option; an SMS option might be critical for when the app is setup to notify a caregiver of a power outage Suggestions -alternate alarm sounds -Home Screen arm-alarm widget (nothing fancy) -Data network disconnect detection/alarm (if the power goes out, the WIFI will likely disconnect). This might be an alternate solution for someone who doesn’t have a charger on-hand, or beside the bed. All-in-all, this app serves my need and will let me know if there’s an outage. I care for two saltwater fish tanks, one 30g and one 140. The power can be off for Andre hours without much harm to tanks, but the real fear here is the skimmer pump turning back on when the power does, and it could overflow if the sump’s water level hasn’t equalized, which would dump skimmate into the water and nuke my tank. I’ll be paying for the 99¢ app even tho I don’t need the additional functions, it would be nice to support a developer that might be willing to support added features!
