Ratings and reviews

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!

After the latest update, the widget no longer reflects the true battery level. The developers say it's likely a battery optimization issue, but I gave the widget all the permissions I could on my Pixel 7 Pro, and it still didn't work. I installed Battery Ace, and it works fine and even has more customization options. And it's free.

Great app. The battery history chart feature is very useful. I don't really use the other settings but I do have to say that I don't really care for the constant warning that the notifications permission is not granted. I don't need another persistent notification and I don't like the things that live in my phone to be so pushy, that's why I'm docking a star. Otherwise it's the best battery widget I've found.
