Alerts by SDGE 4+

Recent update broke the app will no longer open asking me to update when I already have updated.

Update app has started working.

I installed this app in hopes of getting alerted before and during an outage for my home. Unfortunately, not only is the app incredibly late (notified me that there was an outage far after the fact), but it’s inaccurate to boot. My app seems to think that power is restored in my area when I can assure you, it definitely isn’t! We need to get more prior notice about planned outages, more accurate alerts for unplanned outages, and accurate information on estimated and actual restoration. A direct form to report an outage through the app would be nice, too.

I would gladly rate this higher if this app did what it claimed to do. Unfortunately, it currently performs poorly on all fronts. I hope the developers can look into this reporting and resolve it in the next few updates.

I wish there were more applications out there that anticipated the needs of their users before they are in an emergency situation of being without power for an extended period of time. Props to SDG&E for leading the charge.
