GridWatch (beta) 2.8
Free Version
Publisher Description
Note: Anyone looking to download the News24 GridWatch - Load Shedding app please head to https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.news24.loadshedding&hl=en . This is NOT that app.
This is a beta application. As such many features may not work. This app is under active development and will be improved soon!
GridWatch shows you where the power is out near you. It uses crowd-sourcing to monitor power outages. By simply installing, you would be contributing to better monitoring of the power grid.
Outage information from user reports and automatic detection are displayed on the map, so you can see the picture yourself and your utility company can know as well. Open the app to see other users’ reports.
GridWatch lets you report a power outage with a single click. Simply press “My Power Is Out!” at the bottom of your screen. You can also report that the power is back.
If the power goes out when your phone is charging GridWatch will automatically sense the outage and register it.
Anonymized data gathered by GridWatch will be made publicly available soon. This helps consumers learn about the quality of service they receive, researchers learn about how the power grid works and utility companies better serve their customers.
This is a research app and as such might not be fully functional. Report problems or issues to help us improve, or get involved.
