User Reviews

Users praise Downdetector for reliably providing real-time outage information and easy tracking of favorite services. However, many are unhappy that the app is being discontinued and merged into a less functional app with favorites limits. Common issues include crashes, freezing, poor navigation, intrusive ads, and lack of support for rooted devices. Despite these problems, it remains a useful tool for quickly assessing service disruptions and has a helpful user report feature.

Pros

Provides real-time outage and service status updates reliably.
Allows adding multiple services to a favorites list for easy tracking.
Helps users determine if connectivity issues are local or widespread.
User community reporting and interactive features.
Affordable ad-free version available via subscription.

Cons

App is being shut down and merged into another app with reduced functionality, especially limiting favorites to three.
Frequent app crashes, freezes, and loading errors reported by users.
Poor user interface including lack of grouping, filters, and inconvenient navigation after adding favorites.
High frequency and intrusiveness of ads with subscription required to remove them; subscription model is disliked compared to one-time purchase.
Rooted devices are not supported or are blocked, causing exclusion of some users.

Recent reviews

No UK national grid on here probably can not handle the amount of data it would take to store the amount of time they are off.

Why are you getting rid of a PERFECTLY GOOD APP, in favor of a watered down version that only allows 3 favorites max and no comments feature available? Absolutely shameful. We will not be using the new one, there's other sites out there.
