Power Alarm - power status - unplug power and alarm sounds

Features & Capabilities

Power Alarm is a reliable power status application designed to alert you instantly if your device loses power while charging. Whether your device is connected via cable or wireless charging, unplugging or power interruptions trigger a vibrating, flashing screen, and alarm sound.

The app features two alarm states—with the alarm enabled, powering down triggers the alert, and with it disabled, it remains silent. Power Alarm operates even when your device is sleeping, ensuring you stay aware of disconnections. You can customize alarm sounds, set a PIN for silencing the alarm, and configure start delays and duration to suit your needs. The app displays current power connection states and offers notifications on both the lock screen and notification bar, making it ideal for monitoring medical devices or safeguarding against unexpected power loss.

User Reviews

Power Alarm is praised for reliably alerting users to power outages with a loud alarm, especially helping protect aquariums, reptiles, and basements. It offers a simple, ad-free experience. However, users frequently mention issues including limited and sometimes too harsh or quiet alarm sounds, vibration annoyances, volume control problems, occasional false or missed alarms, and lack of upgrade options like SMS or email alerts. Overall, it meets basic needs but could improve in sound options, vibration control, and more advanced alert features.

Pros

App effectively detects power outages and alerts the user with an alarm, helping protect aquariums, reptiles, and prevent flooding.
No ads or unnecessary purchases, providing a simple, straightforward user experience.
Users appreciate the ability to test the app easily and find it reliable after multiple tests.
Vocal alarm option is appreciated and considered amusing or better than beeping.
Free app that saves users from potential damages and financial loss related to power outages.

Cons

Alarm sounds are limited and can be too jarring or quiet; some users want less disturbing or more varied alarm tones, including use of system sounds.
App vibrates immediately upon unplugging, which can be annoying especially if trying to answer phone or if the user has device issues; users request ability to pause vibration.
Some users report false alarms or the alarm not triggering properly when power is cut at certain times or phone is fully charged.
Volume control for alarms is problematic; alarm can be too loud or too quiet regardless of system volume settings, and app does not always bypass 'Do Not Disturb' mode.
Lack of features or options such as SMS/email alerts or upgrade paths mentioned but not accessible, and some users find no way to extend functionality or upgrade.

Just installed it. It's simple and exactly what I was looking for. You can easily try it yourself, without worrying about ads or accidentally buying or installing something. May not be what you're looking for but it's simple to test and decide for yourself.
