Related Questions and Answers：

1. **Can I accurately check the power outage schedule for my neighborhood in supported areas? **

Currently, it's not possible to pinpoint the "neighborhood" level; it can only be targeted at the "region/area" level (e.g., Kyiv City, Lviv Oblast). After selecting the appropriate region and group, you can view the overall schedule of planned power outages within that area. To get a more accurate picture of the outage situation near your home, you may need to consult specific notifications from the local power supply department for further confirmation.

2. **Will the 30-minute power outage reminder only appear as a pop-up within the app, or can it also sound like an alarm? **

The reminder will be triggered as an app pop-up and a system notification on your phone. Some phones also support "notification ringtone" or "vibration" (requires permissions enabled in your phone's system notification settings). This ensures that even if you don't have the app open, you'll receive a 30-minute advance power outage reminder through the system notification, similar to an alarm.

3. **If an emergency power outage occurs, will the app notify you immediately? **

Yes, it can. The app has an "Emergency Power Outage Notification" feature. When an unplanned power outage occurs in your area, an alert will be displayed directly on the app's home screen. Your phone's system notification may also be sent simultaneously, allowing you to be notified immediately of the outage without having to manually refresh the page.

4. **After adding a region to the widget, will the widget automatically update outage information? Or do I need to manually refresh it?**

The widget automatically updates outage information without manual operation. As long as your phone has an internet connection, the widget will sync the latest outage data from the app and display the real-time status directly on your desktop, allowing you to easily check the situation at a glance without having to open the app each time.

5. **How often is the power outage data in the app updated? Will it appear as an outage when it's not?**

The power outage data is updated based on the public data from local energy providers. Planned outages are typically updated 1-3 days in advance, while emergency outages are updated in real time. However, occasionally the power supply department may temporarily adjust the power outage plan, and there may be a brief delay in the App data update, resulting in "display discrepancies with actual conditions". It is recommended that when encountering this situation, you should confirm it again with the official channels of the local power supply department.
