ESP - EskomSePush6.8.7 - App Store

Whole street dark? Water off again? Wifi down? ESP (previously EskomSePush) shows live power, water and internet outages in your suburb, reported by the neighbours living through them. Then you can talk to them about it.

Free, made in South Africa, and used by millions.

IS IT JUST ME?
Open ESP and know in seconds. Every area you follow shows the live status of power, water and internet, built from your neighbours' reports.
- Check in with one tap: "Mine's off" or "I have power"
- Watch it happen on a 24-hour chart of off and on reports
- Read a short summary of what's going on while it lasts
- See the moment it starts coming back on

TALK TO YOUR AREA
Every area has its own chats for power, water, internet and Ask my street. Post a photo of the burst pipe, ask who else heard the bang, find a plumber, return a lost dog.
- Message people near you. They get a request first and decide whether to chat
- Add a profile photo so the neighbours know who's who
- Sign in with WhatsApp, Apple, Google or email

STILL THE LOADSHEDDING APP
Nobody wants it back. If it comes, ESP is ready.
- Schedules for your actual suburb, not a block number
- The famous 55-minute heads-up, so the kettle's on in time
- Home, work, school and the folks, all in one list

WEATHER FOR YOUR STREET
Current conditions, the next 24 hours, a 14-day outlook and weather warnings for every area you follow.

ALERTS ON YOUR TERMS
Choose which chats notify you and for how long: 8 hours, 24 hours or always. Mute the noisy ones, keep the ones that matter.
