About this app
Internet down? Stop checking your phone every few minutes.
BackOnline watches your internet connection and notifies you the moment it works again. Tap one button, put your phone down and do something else. When the internet is back, your phone rings, or shows a notification if you prefer.
WHEN TO USE IT
• An internet outage at home or at work
• Wi-Fi says "Connected, no internet" or keeps disconnecting
• The router is restarting, or the power is out
• Mobile data is not working
• A broadband or fiber outage, and your internet provider (ISP) is fixing it
HOW IT WORKS
1. When the internet goes down, open BackOnline and tap "Notify me when it is back".
2. Put your phone down. BackOnline checks the connection for you in the background.
3. When the internet really works again, your phone rings, even on silent, and tells you how long it was down: "Back after 42 minutes".
FEATURES
• Internet down alert: one tap, no setup, no account
• Alarm or notification: choose how you want to be told
• No false alerts: it waits until the internet really works, not just until Wi-Fi connects
• Wi-Fi and mobile data: it watches Wi-Fi when Wi-Fi is on, and mobile data when Wi-Fi is off
• Checks again every 30 seconds while you are connected without internet, so the alert is not late
• Connection status at a glance: online, connected without internet, or disconnected
• Live signal strength for Wi-Fi and mobile data
• Quick Settings tile: turn on the alert without opening the app
• Keeps waiting after your phone restarts, and stops by itself after 12 hours
• Respects Do Not Disturb
ANDROID TV
Install BackOnline on your Android TV or Google TV. With automatic alerts on, the TV watches the internet and plays a sound when it comes back after an outage, so everyone at home knows. It also shows how many internet outages you had in the last 7 days. Works with Wi-Fi and Ethernet.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account, no ads, no tracking
• BackOnline only checks whether you are connected. It never sees what you do online.
• It does not read your Wi-Fi name or your location.
BackOnline does not make your internet faster and cannot fix an outage. It tells you when the internet is back, so you can stop checking.
