Ratings and reviews

While the Widget on my home screen shows me the battery level, opening it further it doesn't access further data such as projected battery life, but only the configuration options. A separate icon on your home screen opens the App to then show battery level history, projected life, typical discharge and charge rates. (It does usually show a graph in Notifications.) It would be great if by opening the widget you could jump to all of that.

I have downloaded the app. I set up the appearance of the widget I'd like on my home screen. I decided I'd like a change to make it more visible, but im unable to simply make changes. Thinking I might need to purchase the upgrade for such changes, I made the purchase. I see no difference and still cannot make changes. I also see on one screen a time (not my time zone) and a temperature as Fahrenheit. Not even close. Disappointing to be stuck with an app that seems to have no support.

I like it, but it doesn't work on my phone. It frequently freezes at random values that don't match the current battery level. Other reviews mention the same issue. It's not a battery optimization issue as I have specifically turned that off after reading other comments. I have a stock Samsung S24. As a test I'm running the stock Samsung app and it shows the correct value (64%) while this app froze at 71%. Hopefully the developer can find and fix the bug so I can change my review to 5 stars.
