I wrote this app for myself and have decided to share it, hopefully you find it useful. I add new features and maintain schedules in my spare time so please keep sending feature suggestions and new areas to be loaded but understand I gain nothing from this other that a bit of satisfaction knowing I've helped others in South Africa a bit!
If you find it useful please give it a good rating, they definitely help me keep going with new features etc.
Please email me if you find a bug or problem with a schedule, thank you! apps@bitzulu.com

this app used to work several months ago. Now I receive no notifications - even when I update the schedule while loadshedding is happening, it still tells me there is no loadshedding. I'm uninstalling!

Hi i am using your app and was so happy with it up until i had to run an update. I live in cape town yet i can only load city of cape town onto this app. I am however not on the city of cape municipality grid, just on the cape town grid. I could load my area before the update, but now i cannot. Can you please fix this error. City of cape town and cape town are two separate entities. Please help...

Hi there. Love this app as from all the othe app Ive tried, this one is the best until today I came home and the lights went off due to loadshedding and the app was showing nothing. So i removed one star. Could you perhaps update the scheduled for Goodwood cape town and Phoenix Durban?

This is still the best accurate load shedding app around. If there were 10 stars I'd rate this app that. .... I see a lot of people complaining oh wrong area and all that. My advice make sure you have the right area if not 100% sure mail bitzulu he will check and help you. Don't always blame the app.

This app does NOT notify you when there is going to be load shedding... Only AFTER your power's gone does it tell you. Pathetic. Just like Eskom

Don't waste your time if you live in JHB. Requires you to scroll through super long list of cities, no fast access to Pxxx by typing P for instance, and finally, when I found Parkhurst, it said no schedule available! Since Johannesburg is the largest metro , perhaps the developer should highlight this key weakness of the app in the very first sentence of the headline for this app

I have the same problem as Philipa for Kloof, Durban. Just had an early warning regarding loadshedding for tonight saying no loadshedding and then one just after saying there is stage 1 effective immediately.

The schedules are not accurate since some areas were moved to new zones. 3B schedules are completely incorrect even with constant updates!

App works fine but COJ changed schedules completely about a week ago and the app has not updated with these new times....
