About Load Shedding Notifier

With more than 250,000 followers, the Sharenet Load shedding email alerting service is the first and most widely followed service to receive load-shedding alerts, reminders and schedules.

These features are now available on the Android app. You can program multiple zones such as “Home”, “Work” and “Gym” and the Notifier Application will provide your instantaneous alerts when ESKOM changes the load shedding status as well as 15 minute warnings before your electricity is to be cut or turned back on.

The 15 minute reminders do not require an internet connection to operate once they are set by the initial stage-change alert.

The application will also show on a minimalist screen any of your configured areas, the current ESKOM load-shedding stage as well as the times load-shedding will affect you for the day.

The application has been designed to require very little data and operates just as effectively on EDGE or 3G data connections.

You can run the application in conjunction with your email alerts, but alerts from the application will not be subject to the typical cloud delays of email and is therefore far more real time.

Existing www.loadsheddingalerts.co.za subscribers merely need to enter their email and the Notifier Application will automatically download all their profiles, names and zones. No setup required! Only Ethekwini, City Power, Cape Town and Tshwane municipalities are supported, but we are adding more all the time.

-Instantaneous Stage-change alerts
-Power off and Power on reminders
-Minimalist design
-Multiple areas/zones/municipalities allowed
-Load-shedding slots for the day are displayed
-Countdown clock to load-shedding
-Countdown clock to power resumption
-Alerts log with last 3 alerts

It seems as what ever Api you are using no longer syncing correctly into city power. you have incorrect area notifications that don't match their website schedule

This stupid app tells me there's load shedding once the load shedding already started. No Sh!t Sherlock. Uninstall!

U70%
by U####:

App works well and notifications are as accurate as is possible given the schedules. But the app drains my battery. 60% of my battery usage is due to this app, and not my phone is almost dead (3 hrs since unplugging from charger). This is not a once off, and has happened almost every day for the past 2 weeks. Uninstalling.

When i receive a notification of loadshedding i go to check on the app if my area is affected and the app freezes. Just a blank black screen.

Pathetic inaccurate reporting of claimed 30 minute warning. Does not do what it claims

D70%
by D####:

A great App that seems to be coming through its many glitches and then doesn't. It still hangs. The white font against the yellow and orange blocks should be changed to black so that you can actually see what Stage you're headed to. Am also getting multiple notifications again.

The calender Is not the same as the time shown for when my area will get load shedding. Fix this ASAP!

The app is very glitchy on my phone. It never works properly. Please fix as this was not a problem before.

D70%
by D####:

It used to be okay, but now started to freeze up my whole device I would need to restart my tab before using it again. As soon I click on a load shedding notification or open up the app everything just bombs out. When I lock the tab and try to unlock it wile this app is running, it just won't do, restart device and avoid this app and everything is okay.

Schedules for zone 6 still blank and it keeps freezing. I replaced this app with Gridwatch.

Used to be really awesome. Now never really opens anymore, too many app crashes. And only getting notification minutes before load shedding starts... if I lucky!

This app/service was a godsend at first but now not even the schedules it provides are correct. I am posting this while my power is out and the app shows loadshedding for the area only between 6am - 10:30am (it is now 20:17)

Drains battery

N70%

The app worked great in the beginning. Now it does not save any zones I add, but I started getting the email notification for my added zone. The new calendar function is still not working even after the latest update. Still needs some work before I will rate it higher. In terms of notifications it's great.

Still no calendar on Sony Xperia M2 after latest patch. Still love the app though. Pls fix

Q70%
by Q####:

I regret replacing Gridwatch with this app. Notifications are seldom on time. Major bugs. App also drains battery heavy...go check your settings if you don't believe me. The email notifications of Sharenet actually works better than this app. Uninstalling and going back to Gridwatch, a far better app.

I do not get the 15min reminders when I'm offline. Used to get it but no longer after the upgrade. Other than that I think this app is great

The app use to work well. After the last couple of updates I'm having issues: app sometimes just hangs when opening it, when changing zones it will hang while saving. Have to then close app and log in again. And it doesn't want to go past the login page when this happens. Type in email address and go and nothing happens.
