Service Alerter: Connection Restored/Lost Notifier

Get a notification when your cellular or WiFi connectivity changes (e.g. is restored in a low-service area).

Example use case: You’re in the countryside, backpacking, and intend to make a phone call. But there’s no service coverage most of the time. So you tell this app to alert you once you’re in a service area again. This way, you’ll be able to stop walking once you hear the notification, and finally make your long-yearned-for phone call.

Other use scenarios: Mountaineering, kayaking, sailing, and anything else where you don’t want to use your hands to keep cheking your phone’s screen.
