Ratings and reviews

Just to get to the point this is an excellent app. It does everything I need it to as far as information without the overload and too much techno nerdy stuff that I don't need. I've downloaded half a dozen different apps but deleted them and came back to this one as most accurate and reliable. While it's charging it displays information and after a while the bubble with the percentage bounces around which is quite amusing and fun. We all have our own preferences but I highly recommend this one!

Revising back to 5-Stars because Dev Hubalek replied immediately and with word of fix in the pipeline. Outstanding! Since its last update the Widget no longer reliably updates. Confirmed on Pixels 3 & 5a. Interestingly, placing a shortcut to the main app on the Home Screen and starting it resets the Widget to the correct charge display — I guess that forces a refresh of the Widget.

While I like the new design, the latest update caused new problems it never had before. #1: when I restart my phone, the widget is gone and a rotating circle is there. #2: battery level accuracy is off. I hope these get fixed soon. I also have a suggestion, in the notification area option where you have different types of battery meters, can you add battery temp as a option as well? It would be great if I saw the widget working again and a battery temp on the top left corner, thanks!
