If you're living or traveling in South Africa, this app is a must. I operate a remote business that requires wifi and meetings overseas, so it's critical to plan for load shedding. This app makes that easy. The user interface is intuitive, and it's easy to find the information you need. You can follow multiple areas at once to coordinate around load shedding, which is really nice. This app makes checking load shedding like checking the weather.

It was a great app to use during loadshedding and to get feedback from the community about power issues. Now they've made it so that you have to watch ads to go back in the discussions to see the updates that people have sent. Truly disappointing.

Sorry about the ads. They are there so we can keep things running. In Settings there is a way to remove all ads. You can email us at support@esp.info.

not accurate at times. sometimes causes unnecessary anxiety and unnecessary prep. I'll deal with loadshedding/reduction as it happens, bye bye app.
