Question
What score should I get for my iphone Xs if its on fast charging ?TofuHuge
Developer Response
Hello, TofuHuge. While on a quick charge mode, you should get scores higher than 2000. Unfortunately I dont have enough data on a new iPhones yet to provide exact guideline. Regards, Andrewv 2.05 now has limits to number of free tests
Edit, in response to developer’s reply:
You were able to sustain the previous version with ads which I didn’t mind. I suppose the revenue you generated then wasn’t enough.
There are a number of completely free apps out there which provide stellar service and never charged a cent in one way or another. I have also purchased apps which were well worth the price I paid.
If I had another job to support myself, I would do it for the passion of developing apps. If this was your sole income, then...good luck. Perhaps sell it for whatever price you wish as a one-time fee. If the user really loves your app, then they’ll pay for it. To me, it wasn’t worth the hassle of viewing ads.
This is all a moot point since I’m deleting the app. Thanks for reminding me to do so, given your sarcastic reply.

Beware, version 2.05 now has a limit to the number of free tests. You’ll have to watch ads to earn more free tests. Time to delete the app.
Lesson learned: Stay with the older version as much as you can.Show lessteemail

Does little but it works
Would like to be able to see real measurements like the amps or voltage. It just gives some score that is only relevant within to the app when compared with other charges.Hey_Tom

Score, given by app is in mAmp calculated by the amount of time it takes to charge 1% of your battery and the battery capacity.wors
I have used this app on both android and iPhones And it’s awesome. That’s exactly what it supposed to do. Of course android was less secretive but it will still tell you which of your iPhone power sources works best.the rev maynard
Test Results iPhone X
These scores were on an iPhone X:
Okay, so I decided to purchase the USB-C to Thunderbolt cable & block. I immediately compared to my 3 different charging blocks and 2 charging cables.
First of all The USB-C to Thunderbolt charger fast charge mode worked exactly as advertised. After it reached 80% I decided to see how the power was being pulled between the different blocks and cables after 80% QC mode was disabled:
USB-C on 29 Watt Block: 1629
Stock block 5 Watt and cable: 611
iPad 12 Watt Block: 814
I will update this with results with battery around 30% and update later, but earlier in the week I did try a 29 Watt USB A with stock cable and it gave me just above 1200. This score could have been skewed, because the battery was almost dead at the time. I will add those results as well, but this should give you an idea of what to expect, and whether upgrading to USB-C to Thunderbolt and buying the Block is worth the ~$80 it's going to cost you to do so...
Once again, I’ll retest with the power at a lower level, but right now I would say having a good third party 29 Watt USB-A Block with stock cable should be suffice for most people. I will also try my father's USB-C 27 Watt block from Essential Phone, and use the USB-C cable to see how those vary.
Edit:
So after bringing the phone down to 35% I did some more tests. All results were the same EXCEPT, the USB-C to 29 Watt charging block and Essential 27 Watt Block. Once in quick charge mode the score went up dramatically to
USB-C to Lightning 29 Watt Block: 2444
USB-C to Lightning Essential Black: 2359
So when in QC mode it goes up almost 800 points and then after 80% goes down to 1629!
Still well above the other blocks and cables!
So if you want to quickly charge your device definitely go with the USB-C lightning cables to begin with. I also tried on a 27 Watt Essential Phone charging block and the results were TOO similar, so you do DO NOT need an IPhone 29 Watt charging block, but you do need the cable!
In fact I’ll be returning my 29 Watt Block and buying a generic Amazon counterpart that I know now will do a similar, if not better job, than Apples 29 Watt Block...(I went to Amazon and bought a 30 Watt Anker Block).
I hope this helps everyone! Thank you Amperes for your application! This was perfect for finding this data!Show lessRadTownAlumn
Doesn’t give the A or V number
Maybe I don’t know how to use this app and I’m ready to correct the ratings if someone point it out to me but the test only gives a number useful for relative comparison. I get a score of 977. What does it mean? There is not even a scale explanation. I’d like to measure if the new chargers I bought perform according to specs like most of the people that downloaded this app and I find it hard to see a good use for this app without having scores expressed in A or V.
I do like the UI. Please help me understand if this is a user error or a real shortcoming of this app.Show lessWiigiBard

Hello. We made many updates to Amperes app. It now includes more functionality, better interface and other cool features. Please give it a try and if you will like it, let others know by updating your app's rating. Thank you! Regards, Andrew Hi. The score that you are getting is actually mA. You need to take into the account, that this value that you getting after the measurement is a "pure" charge score. And measured from the current battery charged capacity. If between your new good charger and your phone is a bad wire .... well, you will get bad scores, because bad wires will get your Amperes way lower than with a good wire. Also, the longer your wire - the more resistance it will have and the more losses you will get in terms of Amps there. Score of 977 might be a good score if you are using iPhone SE but will be a bad score for iPhone 7+ devices. There you should get at least 1200+ with good charger/wire. Hope that answered your concern. Regards, AndrewGood app
Works as described. Approved!Jonk Snow
Works great with iPhone X
Tried this with new iPhone X and different types of charging cords track best results. Works like it says it does which is great!Esparks84
