About this app

If your phone and its charger are not always the best of friends, then theDingster is for you.

You know the routine: You plug your phone into a charger at night, but in the morning it's only half-charged because your old phone has a loose charging connector.

Here's where theDingster comes in. It will continuously monitor your charging and let you know the status with an unobtrusive ding. So even if you are not looking at your device, you'll know whether it's charging or not. If you like, I'll even read the Battery Percentage for you, so you'll know exactly how close your battery is to being fully charged.

It's really easy to use:
1) Open the app,
2) Plug in a charger,
3) Listen to your device charge.

Of course you don't need to have problems to use the Dingster. You could also use it just to keeping track of how fast your device is charging.

* Dings are adjustable from once a minute to every half hour.
* Immediate notification if your charger gets disconnected and when your battery becomes fully charged.
* Will ding in background mode so you can use your device normally while the Dingster monitors your charge. It will also continuously display the battery level so you can monitor the charging yourself.
* Optional spoken battery percentage.
* Option to automatically shut off theDingster when your device is fully charged.
* Goes to "Dim Mode" after 2 minutes for screen saving and faster battery charging.
* Works great on phones or tablets -- any portable Android device.

The Dingster comes without any ads or unnecessary notifications. Will work regardless of whether your phone has signal or not; it'll even work in Airplane Mode. It will make a handy addition to your Android device. I hope you give it a try.
