Pretty basic, gives the info needed. Looses 1 star for the map being very jumpy every time you try to see a different location. Seems like it needs a faster connection (my connection is usually around 15 to 20mb at my location). Otherwise a good and useful app.

Power outage for 8 hours. Still doesn't show up. Totally useless. Can't report an outage.
T

Keeps popping up no connection when I clearly have. Says no faults when the helpline says there is. Reporting a fault by phone feels like an interrogation. ESB sucks

Power check list doesn't work saying there is no network connection, but clearly there is a connection

This would be a far better app if it just listed the outages in a table with the ERT.

Power gone in my whole village but app says no interruptions in my area. Pointless app.

Constantly crashes. Fails to connect to server most of the time. Not very useful.

Generally good, but use of revenue generating 1850 number and unnecessary app permissions reduce the overall rating

Map zoom doesn't seem to work. Would be both useful and intelligent to put planned outages up in advance.

It's not kept up to date on current incidents. It's also unable to communicate on phone networks, seems to need Wi-Fi. Oh, it thinks Templeogue is in central Dublin. Utter C-wrap

Add an option to submit an outage report and this will be much more useful.

It doesn't connect... doesn't help..! It's a typically token, poorly developed fashion app for the 'industry'. I would have thought living in rural Ireland, they would take this a little more seriously. ESB should be grateful I have to award it at least 1 star... I wanted to give it none.

Half an hour in the dark and still no updates on the map. Also a bit daft not having the ability to report a fault through the app, instead of a 1890 that I can't ring on my price plan.

Just installed this app. As we get a fair few power cuts these days, I guess I won't be long testing it ... I will review my rating then. The reason for my taking off 2 stars at the onset is because I'd have to pay 30 cts calling a 1850 number to report a fault when any landline numbers are free with my contract ... :-/

Power is gone for 1 hour at this stage in the whole area, but the App does not list it. When ringing the ESB there is a recorded message that mentions the recording time of 25 minutes ago and list 20 affected areas near me including my area. So app is useless, also GPS location cannot be picked up by the app (while the GPS for Google maps works fine).
