Ratings and reviews

I like being able to get push notifications of outages. Unfortunately, there are some bugs that keep the app from being useful beyond that. The bottom nav bar doesn't generally stay on screen long enough to be usable, so you can't always get to your list of monitors. Trying to edit a monitor's existing alerts either tells me I need to upgrade (even though the app recognizes my paid subscription) or doesn't save the changes. So this is currently a bit of a read-only app.

I like this application, it actually saved my production system from a previously unknown outage today. The reason for 4 out of 5 stars is only due to the Pro version being more than I need in terms of coverage, with the fact that I'd like 1 minute checks instead of 5 without upgrading to the plan you currently have available. It would be nice if we had the ability to pay a 1 time fee for the 1 minute checks instead of the 5 minute checks.

This was the best in terms of an alert provider with a free tier but a recent change reduced the service drastically. While it is reasonable to restrict free tier to 1 email address for alerts, you used to be able to specify that address in their ui. They recently changed it to force you to use the account email as that single address. This is a problem because you can no longer use it for uptime automation
