Comments on Load Shedding Notifier for Android

★★★★☆ Sbal Jomo · Jun 5, 2025

The app is good, but it does not update load reduction which is our problem now in area it happens twice a week and I don't find updates about it pls help me on that side🙏otherwise everything is fine

★★★★☆ Pontsho Tema · Oct 22, 2025

Very reliable and helpful. There's not much to complain about its accurate about showing the load shedding schedule. The only problem is that when there is a power cut for the whole day, it doesn't show

★★★★☆ Resegofetse Howsay · Jun 5, 2025

You are not giving me straight answers about my home weather and some Department like Home Affairs weather is it working with their timeline or no and our Electronic loadsheding.

★☆☆☆☆ thatohatsi mofokeng · Jul 12, 2025

Very useless app. Had load shedding yesterday and received no notifications, but constantly receiving notifications for areas I didn't even add on the lists of locations to get notifications for.

★☆☆☆☆ Dylan Pugh · May 30, 2025

You forced me to rate, so I'm giving you 1 star. Why do you put the "Don't ask me again" check box if you're just going to continue asking me to rate you?

★☆☆☆☆ Tshegofatso Rikhotso · Jan 6, 2026

I no longer get notifications, and I've had this app for a while and never had problems. Now it's just an app that takes up space.

★☆☆☆☆ Dineo Matsebatlela · Jun 22, 2025

It says no load shedding but the electricity go

★☆☆☆☆ Sameer Imran · Jul 26, 2025

It keeps sending a lot of notification that has nothing to do with the power stop disturbing me for nothing if you are good person respond
