Depending on the kind of error they're experiencing, Heroku will show a quite unhelpful and generic "Application is down" screen.
I know they're limited in what they can show back given a certain kind of error but it's real crappy to let your users or clients hung out to dry.
It's especially loathsome with clients because it's indistinguishable from you fucking up. I do wish they showed a "Oh hello we're having a spot of trouble. Please hang tight" instead. Mad points for letting you style the page to match your site.
Of course, as a service provider this would not quite be something you spend a lot of time thinking about or optimizing for.
