Loadshedding SA

Описание для Loadshedding SA

This has easily become one of the most widely used apps amongst Blackberry and Android users in South Africa.
Never again be left in the dark without knowing when, what and for how long loadshedding affects your day-to-day life.
Whether you use it as an informational or planning tool, this app uses as little mobile data as possible in order to conserve that expensive mobile data that you have on your mobile device. Other apps utilise a web back-end, this app is a completely local solution and will work even when you have run out of airtime/data.
This app will help you keep you up to date with the latest information regarding load shedding as it is communicated from ESKOM.
Countless suburbs have been added to this app that have been omitted from the various MUNICIPALITIES throughout South Africa
We currently feature the following within this app:
-A comprehensive current load shedding status that includes the current status of load shedding, the current national grid utilisation as well as the latest tweets from ESKOM
-The ability to choose which Twitter feed to follow that the app displays (@ESKOM_SA or @ESKOM_MediaDesk)
-A built-in flashlight to help find your way around when you're in the dark (Look for the orange light bulb on the action bar)
-A daily notification of either the loadshedding probability or when loadshedding has started (This can also be disabled if you wish)
-An OFFLINE complete listing of all the estimated currently affected areas within all of South Africa
-An OFFLINE loadshedding planner for the day (Johannesburg, Cape Town, Ekurhuleni and Tshwane only at this point in time)
This app is currently undergoing tireless active development and is updated regularly. Please ensure that you have the latest and most up to date version in order to have the latest features at your fingertips, as we significantly change the way this app functions with every update.
Typically, the updates are available for download on a Monday morning.
