OutageWatch 0.2.4
Pull down on any screen to refresh, and the app now keeps outage status current on its own so you never look at stale data.
What is new
- Pull to refresh on the home, area, and outage screens.
- Automatic refresh when you reopen the app and while a screen stays open, so status stays live without you doing anything.
- A dropped connection no longer clears the screen or shows a false "all clear". Your last known status stays put until fresh data arrives.
Install
Download OutageWatch-0.2.4.apk below and open it on your Android phone. If you already have OutageWatch installed, this updates it in place.
Heads up about the Play Protect warning
The first time you open the APK, Android may say it "hasn't seen an app from this developer before." That is expected for any app installed outside the Play Store, not a sign of a problem. OutageWatch is signed and asks only for internet, notifications, and approximate location. Tap More details, then Install anyway to continue. This goes away once the app is on the Play Store (planned for August 2026).
