Ratings and reviews

The simplest and easiest way to check if the trouble you're having with a service is on your end or their end. Allows you to add services to a favorites list for easy tracking. You can also filter the options to show services by their status (how much trouble other users have reported). Plus you can report issues you're having personally with just a few taps. I recommend it for your app collection.

The down detector app is easy to use it detected that two of my accounts ended up being down for a few days, one back in September 2023 and one back in February 2024. Both of them are fitbit and straight talk. The fitbit app ended up not working due to a server problem, and my straight talk service was not working on my phone at the time, but this app was very helpful for telling me about the servers that were down and now my phone should have service back up and running again

Very confusing to use and the ads are EXTREMELY annoying. Other apps offer one-time purchase to remove the ads but this particular one only offers expensive subscriptions, the most you can do is a year for $12, also, it doesn't provide outage maps, everything and anything useful has to be purchased via a subscription. Better off using a website, quicker and free... A useless app indeed!
