Works just fine, just read the instructions
There is also a pretty clear visual warning stating that times will differ based on what iOS you are on as well. App works as expected and gave a decent analysis of wattage.
Really old coding
Response from developer
Hello. Unfortunately starting from iOS 17, none of the apps can show you anything faster when it will be actually measured and not made up. Apple limited how often can developers get the battery charge level from the battery starting in iOS17, from once for every 1% of battery charge to once per 5% of battery charge. App still manages to measure charge with maximum correctness. MagSafe plugged in into 60w supply does not mean that it will reach your battery in exactly that number. App measures how much you battery gets, and not how much your power block supply. Regards, Andre
Sketchy full screen ads
Response from developer
Hello. When you first install and run the app, we show you warning screen that display information regarding iOS 17-18 testing. We do not show any ads. Ads are shown only when you start testing.
Sketchy full screen ads
Ads make it useless
Response from developer
Sorry about the ads, but these are not in our hands. Google provides these. We do not overflow our app with ads like our competitors. There, every switch from screen to screen you get new ad show. We show only 1-2 ads per 10 minute test. Regards, Andre
Love it
Rubbish…deleted app
Again the over power test wouldn’t work because it says the test would only work if the phone is at 75% or lower. Again it was at 72%.
It also reported when I finally managed to get it to test something, said the wattage was low at 4.2watt but it’s on a 96watt charger with a 100watt cable.
Useless, deleted the app and looking elsewhere. I suggest you do the same.
Response from developer
Thank you for your review. It looks like you are on IOS 17, where Apple made many changes to battery access. One of these changes - apps now can not know for sure what is the battery charge at.... Apple's iOS will return the same result for 72% and 71% and 70%, and even 69%... Add to this that it removed any direct access to any other battery info in iOS 10. We try to get information as precise as possible, even when we surrounded from all sides by Apple's limitations. For now, please try to test your phone when its discharged well below regular requirements of 70%, that was for non iOS 17 devices. Feel free to email me at support@criosoft.com if you need some more info. Regards, Andre
Good but could be improved!
Results reported in milliamperes but does NOT use the conventional abbreviation of mA but for some unknown reason displays MAMP. That does not inspire confidence.
I think it estimates the charge rate by change in charge percentage reported by the iPhone, the specification of the battery capacity, and the time taken. So okay for comparisons of leads etc but maybe not good as an absolute reading. Also gives WATT value as it knows the battery voltage.
Again unconventional in that the units MAMP and WATT are displayed before and not AFTER the readings!
Keeps a record of test results and you can name them which is useful.
Useless !
Update;
iPhone ShortCuts" App provides an easy and fully working solution under "automation" a no fuss set-up and full charge is quietly notified once by Siri and all free.

Hello, if you are running iOS 17, then it would explain your frustration. Right now there is an issue with iOS 17. Charging information that we get from iOS is wrong. So far we diagnosed it to be Apple change in iOS 17, that now reports charging events only in increments of approximations of 5% instead of 1% as it used to in all previous versions. We opened ticket with them, but we have no way of predicting the resolution time as a result. I hope, they will agree to fix it. Otherwise, they will completely damage the battery testing capabilities of all battery testing apps on IOS . Regards, Andre
Had to shut two of my debit cards down
Response from developer
We do not have ads when you open the app. Only ads we show when tests are executed. I feel you either posted this review to the wrong app or its a fake review to get down the app's rating. It was reported to Apple.
