✨ Refinement Points

User Experience Refinements

To enhance user experience, the app could benefit from a more intuitive interface. Streamlining navigation and minimizing the number of steps required to access key features would significantly improve usability.

Accurate for loadshedding. Ads are NOISY and intrusive. When you open a tweet notification and then click back it closes the app (and plays a noisy ad) instead of showing you the loadshedding times page. Even if I paid for it, I would still want to go from a notification to the tweets to the schedule, not out of the app once I press back from the tweets. I don't buy apps where coders deliberately try to annoy me with noisy ads. Entice me don't annoy me. ***UPDATE*** The ads are silent now! 🙏🏼

Works fairly well once it's set up properly, but a recent update asked me for a rating and then kept prompting and not closing the app each time I tried to exit. The app is a bit liberal with notifications. On initial setup I keep thinking I've disabled tweet notifications, and then they're still somehow on. It would also be nice if the app supported a themed Material You icon, as supported on modern Android versions.

I first used the other, most popular app dealing with loadshedding. But somehow they gotten greedy and started pestering one with ads. So I switched over to LSN, and it's surprisingly good. Better than 'that' one now. Plus, it takes up less space on my phone's storage, and extremely light on data usage too. The push notifications from the app saved me several times from losing data on my computer. Despite Eskom jumping up and down through stages, this app makes dealing with that easy.
