Accurate for loadshedding. Ads are NOISY and intrusive. When you open a tweet notification and then click back it closes the app (and plays a noisy ad) instead of showing you the loadshedding times page. Even if I paid for it, I would still want to go from a notification to the tweets to the schedule, not out of the app once I press back from the tweets. I don't buy apps where coders deliberately try to annoy me with noisy ads. Entice me don't annoy me. ***UPDATE*** The ads are silent now! 🙏🏼

The noisy ads are an issue on Google's side. We have removed them earlier today as we have not yet received feedback from Google on this issue. There was no deliberate intention on our side to annoy users. Thank you for pointing out the issue relating to opening the app from a Tweet notification. We will look into that as well.

I'm genuinely grateful for the load shedding update app! It has proven to be an absolute lifesaver, consistently keeping me well-informed with the latest schedules. A heartfelt thank you for the thoughtful design that ensures user-friendliness and the timely notifications. It has undeniably made a significant difference in my ability to navigate through power disruptions effortlessly. Your contribution is sincerely appreciated!

It worked well and at one time was the best loadshedding app. Then it started to show loadshedding times for my area 2 hours later than when loadshedding started. I have updated the application and it is still faulty. The Eskom S. P. app is accurate so why can't this show the correct times as you used to?
