Nice app would give 5 stars if you could have a schedule. Uninstall does not work ...how are we supposed to uninstall icon just remains there ? I will use it for now and hopefully it will get better over time , don't mind paying for something that works.

The Bluff in eThekwini does not appear in the areas, but is a block on the load shedding schedule, whilst other areas do not appear on the schedule but do not appear here? Very inaccurate.

*ad free paid version please * also I would love an option to report Power restored. 3 reported power outage in "area" in last 4 hours. Most recent report: "disruption" OR "restored". This is my wish.

The schedules are wrong, the app keeps telling me there are no schedules available??? Seriously? The schedules are available everywhere.. How can the app not pick that up? The app should rather work on the loadshedding areas (ie..area 10) not every possible neighborhood in 10km radius from where I am. Shedalert is far better... The schedules are bang on.

Schedules are not correct (probably because they have been changed and are going to change yet again) but I appreciate getting a notification whenever loadshedding is announced! This app is worthwhile just for that feature alone. Thank you!

i setup three areas for alert as a test. All three have load shedding and the app still says no load shedding. Thus is app does not work, simple as that.
