The battery status is displayed with an interval size of 10% (Full | 95% | 85% ...), because the devices only send their battery state with this accuracy. Also the case of the AirPods misses a Bluetooth transmitter. Therefore, the battery level of the case is only displayed when at least one AirPod is inserted in the case.

The app uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) interface. The API for Bluetooth LE only works with Location Permission, because the beacons for indoor navigation also uses Bluetooth LE.

The only known way to customize AirPods and change the double-tap functionality is connecting with an iPhone or Macbook. After then you can use the changed the double-tap functionality with Android.

Huawei, Xiami, Vivo, Oppo and other Chinese branded phones may not work with this app. These companies don't always use standard Bluetooth hardware in their phones.

Ratings and reviews

Doesn't work. Like at all. Download and install is about the only thing that works. App is nonfunctional. As soon as you open the app it freezes and is instantly nonresponsive. Closing app and reopening does not work. Restarting phone does not work. Uninstalling, restarting phone and then reinstalling does not work. So to sum up this app is worthless.

I thought this worked pretty well it showed me the percentage of the case at 65% and after charging none of the percentage changed. I found out that this app does not work at all and most of the time when I try to connect it, it would not find my airpods and tell me to open Bluetooth and Location which is already on.

Very useful. It worked for 2 years with my first generation airpods, and is fantastic with my new airpod pros. It isn't flawless. Sometimes the battery percentage is wrong, but if you close, then re-open the app, it fixes itself. I've used it for over 2 years now, and I'm grateful for it. If not for this app, I would either have to change my phone, or not use my airpods, and I don't want to do either. I am now considering upgrading the app to pro, not for the features, but to support the maker.
