Ratings and reviews

The best app out there that I've tested for battery monitoring. Except for the notification UI - hard to figure out. Learn from my frustration: Even though they make the same sound which can't be configured, notification sounds and event alarms are not related. Otherwise you'll be putting up with noise for EVERY SINGLE % CHANGE of the battery during charging and discharging if you also want to be notified of boundary conditions like overheating.

EDIT: I thought my phone's batt optimization is messing up w/ the app but after a full charge w/ no batt optimization, it still doesn't work properly. Used to be a great app. My Lollipop install on a different phone still works. But now, on Android 10, I only care for the screen on time and on this version, it doesn't work at all. It seems that it doesn't detect when a phone is fully charged and so the screen on timer does not restart back to 0. It's such a shame this doesn't work anymore.

I've been using the app for a few days and so far it's done very well. There were no world-shattering insights into my battery use, but it is helping me to optimize my usage of my phone and get about an hour or so more per charge, which I consider a great success. My one complaint is with the statusbar battery icon. The themes are all extremely small, making the numbers hard to read, and the system's own battery icon isn't hidden, so the information is redundant.
