Contact Downdetector Support

This app used to be good but it has major issues behind the scenes. Security and privacy for instance, couple years ago it was found that this app needed access to the phones pasteboard. Then the data they received from us using the app is collected and sold elsewhere. seems like this app keeps getting worse and worse. App does not work on jailbroken phones. Not sure why and there is no way downdetector app is affected or compromised while a phone is jailbroken. It is best to use the website version if needed, but an alternative solution is needed with better practice.

There is no settings that allow you to set your region or location. The map feature is useless and once you zoom into your location it loses its function as a problem heat map. Favorites are not recognized either or kept in any logical order. As a goof I attempted to set up an account and it felt like a job application, not info for an app. There is no reason for that much of my info. All this apps info can be found elsewhere so I’m deleting this app.

This App is great, it shows you if there is an outage of power in your area. But their “map” software is the worst thing I’ve ever seen You can only zoom in as far as maybe a couple counties wide. Yeah you can see the dot where your house may be, but you can’t see if truly your house is inside that zone. This is almost one of the main functions of the app and it doesn’t work. It’s horrible. I deleted the app immediately after having an issue with it. You can barely pinch zoom because it will just pop back to zoomed out when you release your finger. Seriously, fix the small stuff.
