ICS not so great by anonymBeen using this for a couple of years. Now ICS update on EVO 3D has caused it to freeze and not update as batt drains, but only sometimes. 2/5
VERY HELPFUL by anonymInstalled about a year ago to monitor my battery temperature. For some reason my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 likes to over heat. It has helped keep my tablet from exploding. Thank-you. 5/5
Great app!! by anonymMy favorite for years now but had to downgrade. Sticks on a particular percentage, have to tap to force it to update to current battery level. Nexus5 2/5
Very Accurate !! by anonymVery useful and accurate !! Excellent app. 5 Stars !! 5/5
Great by anonymBut, as I am looking for a replacement for the 8mb info leaking Battery Doctor, I was hoping for something to tell me what is eating my battery with the option to close that app. But, despite that, this app is great, I am definitly keeping it. 4/5
No longer works by anonymIt used to be great! But since the new updates, it stopped working. Uninstalling immediately 1/5
WAS good - what happened? by anonymThis widget used to work great. Now it constantly freezes and reports incorrect battery usage percentages. Sorry, but I have to uninstall and find a replacement. 2/5
Not working properly! by anonymIt doesn't track the battery level at all. It only refreshes only if i tap on the widget. Till then it shows a level that was tracked long ago. And so, the history graph is also blank. App was functioning well until few months ago. Please fix 1/5
Nexus 4:KitKat - Lags by anonymI think it requires an update. The application Lags and shows old data for instance if the battery is 63 % it would still show 93 % till I click on it to refresh it. 4/5
Great app by anonymWould be five stars, but widget doesn't always update battery strength automatically. Sometimes you have to swipe to another screen and back to get an accurate reading on the battery. 4/5
No widget = No app by anonymLatest update left me with just the useless "start-up" app that does not start-up the widget. Uninstall & reinstall failed to change anything. 1/5
Never Displays Correct Percentage! by anonymUnistalled, don't waste your time! 1/5
Well Done by anonymSimple but functional. Settings options, useful information, small footprint, and it works! The developer has not packed this app with the all too common bells and whistles crap that do nothing but suck the life out of your phone. Note to developer:PLEASE DO NOT RUIN THIS APP LIKE SO MANY OTHERS DO WITH THEIRS BY ADDING POP-UP ADDS, AND GAME CRAP THAT CAN ONLY BE REMOVED BY PAYING (e.g. Circle Launcher) 5/5
CRASH by anonymThe widget was cool the first day, but then it crashed and was locked at 100% battery. It wouldn't change with the actual battery level. This needs to be fixed. LG Enlighten 2/5
Love, Love, Love it! by anonymmy husband showed it too me& i was skeptical at first! But after i downloaded i fell in love! I have always wanted too know what the exact percent was at all times& now i do!!& on top of that it doesn't take up much space at all! :) keep it up! 5/5
Very helpful by anonymGood app, always works, no problems. It's very reliable & comes in handy, thank you 5/5
Widget stops working completely!!! by anonymIt used to be good and efficient...but recently the widget stops working and hangs completely.Will give it 5 stars if the problem is solved!!! 2/5
Great by anonymBeen using this app on several devices and its awesome. 4.4 seems glitchy though, I have to tap the widget then it updates to the current battery level. The widget likes to freeze now! 4/5
Good widget, no permissions by anonymThis app works for my phone and has no funky permissions- why do some of the other battery widgets need access to my WiFi or pictures or location, etc? Data mining? . I guess I will live with it with the likes of Google, Amazon etc, but not from Joe-s++t-the-ragman's app shop. Thanks for a great free app. 5/5
(Y) by anonymIt seems to be a bit inaccurate at times, stating the same percentage even though I used quite a bit of battery. But overall it is quite handy. 4/5
Nexus 7 problem by anonymAs per earlier review from other user, the last update to Android OS has caused this app to freeze and only update by tapping widget. This app was brilliant for me and whilst I am still using it I have been frustrated when battery is suddenly in the red when tapped. Would be great if something could be done to get normal service resumed! 4/5
Its ok by anonymCant deny that its not 2 horrible. Doesn't drain battery quite as quickly as others. Not very many options 2 this widget. Would give 5 stars and have no complaints if was able to put in notification bar at top of screen to monitor battery percentage at anytime. 1/4/15 I'm now very unhappy, still no improvements, and widget doesn't work frequently. I have to tap on it to register accurate percentage. 1/5
Not bad, but mem size listed is not all inclusive by anonymI was looking to find a battery level app/widget that is smaller in size than the one I am currently using. At about 90k, this one seemed to fill the bill. So, I downloaded and installed it, and set up the widget. After checking the memory sizes, I was dismayed to find that it is much larger than what I'm using. The app/widget I'm currently using has a download size of 1.6MB. After installing, it is 2.25MB and the background service is about 3.6MB, for a total of 5.85MB. By comparison, after installing Battery Solo Widget, it is 260KB - which is very good - but when the background service starts up, it takes up a whopping 11MB to 15MB. However, over a short period of time it drops down to a more reasonable 3.9MB, for a total of 4.15MB. I seem to be experiencing a faster draining battery, but I have not yet researched whether or not it is related to this widget. So, 4 stars for now. 4/5
Great app by anonymKyocera Hydro XTRM, unable to get the audible alarms to work BUT otherwise works perfectly: nice, big font so I can see how full the battery is even without my glasses; the %charged is almost always dead-on (a couple of times had to tap the widget to update but knowing my phone so well, can tell instantly that I need to tap it. Great, free app. 4/5
Hanging alot @HTC 1 X+ by anonymGood design.....but unfortunately it hangs alot...n also the widget is showing wrong battery level!!.. U need to fix it... 2/5
Everything it needs to be by anonym...and more, really. I don't really need the more detailed info... but the Batt Display itself is just about perfect. (Not currently using since I've worked out system problems that had me watching battery level and "stock" Batt Info (Quick! To the Batt Cave, Robin.) currently serves my needs. But keeping this app in mind for the future.) In a word: Elegant. 5/5
Good, but small bug... by anonymThis is a great app that doesn't ask for permissions. The only problem I had seen is it can't accurately judge estimated time remaining. 14 hours at full charge!? I get more like 2 days if just using it for texts and calls. Unless this is an averaged value, an update for it would be awesome! 5/5
Not accurate by anonymThe home screen widget doesn't update to reflect accurate battery life. The widget said I had 59% at one point and then just minutes later my phone beeped at me that I only had 10% left. Pointless app if it isn't going to tell me how much battery life I have. 1/5
Was fantastic at first, but then... by anonymI am using this widget for more than a year now, and it was simple and perfect, until recently it started "freezing" constantly. I always get surprised when I see that I have 59% battery left, and then tap the widget to see that I actually have 10%. And this is definitely NOT due to the lack of memory, as I have Nexus 4 with 2GB ram, and very small number of apps installed. If there is a solution please suggest a fix, if not, I'll have to replace this app as it has become useless... 2/5
Great by anonymI Love this app one of my first downloads on any new devices. Lose a star because Paid version error motox: app closes when you attempt to change the settings that you paid for. 3/5
Simple and perfect by anonymJust what everyone needs. At a glance battery level. Nothing fancy because nothing fancy is needed. Great work Pedro! 5/5
Quite good by anonymThe app is OK but can give false reading. The widget can show a high reading but the battery at the top of the screen can show low. Touching the widget makes it correct but I feel the widget should update automatically. I have nexus 4. 3/5
Before is 'Great apps' by anonymBefore is Great apps I have been using it for more than 6 months..but after update the accuracy is totally far out. I'm gonna to uninstall it. Sorry u r getting worst now. 1/5
Old school essential by anonymEveryone needs a battery widget. Who wants to squint at the tiny meter on the notification bar and guess what percentage is left? There are many others out there that will do similar - but this is the most basic and reliable. I've been using it for going on 4 years and it's still the best. 5/5
Help help help by anonymApp does not work with android. I thought it would tell me how much. power my battery had left. Doesnt do anything!!! 1/5
My phone was hot! by anonymThis doesn't allow you to cool phone but gives the temp in Fahrenheit or Celsius. Once I saw how hot it was, I bought a case that gave circulation around the back. That dropped temp of phone by 10° at least! 5/5
I think... by anonymIt's quite a good widget. Only problem is I don't know how to resize it. P.S. Can some1 help me 3/5
Widget stops working by anonymThis widget used to be good, but I don't think it has kept up with android updates. Everyday or every other day I have to delete the widget and redo it because it will freeze on a battery level. So while I THINK I have 85% battery life... I'm really at 15%. It varies on the percentage too. Sigh, it's a problem. I'm uninstalling and going for one of the other battery widgets in the app store. 1/5
Was Great Broken now by anonymIt used to automatically update the battery status and I loved it. Now I have to click on it to update the percentage. I'm running Kit Kat. Fix it and I'll be glad to give it 5 stars. 3/5
Works well by anonymThe widget is just too big. I found a very similar circular app whose icon is much smaller except it is not a widget. It shows up in the status notifications. 4/5
