Ratings and reviews

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.

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've been using this app for many years, and it's one of the first to be re-installed on a new phone. Great customizations, and easy to use. To all those who "wish they could see the battery level on the screen without tapping the app," that's what the widgets are for! Create a widget with your choice of colors and formatting, and see the level in a decreasing circle as the number drops from 100%. One bug (?) The app is using over 1.7MB of "user data." I've emailed the dev, and hope he has a solution.
