Ampere Battery Charging Check User Reviews

Top reviews

Helpful

Allowed me to rate the efficacy of my different cables which have now all been labelled appropriately and some are destined for the bin. The app does give a few variable results for some cables so do try multiple measurements.

A minor doubt is that a number of cables all seem to have the same charging rate (11.53W) which seems a bit suspect as this is via different charger plugs on different extension leads plugged into different sockets.

Unreliable

I am using a 65W charger and it just showed me over 100W charging rate! That is not possible!

Response from developer

Please do test several times. Our app accuracy completely depends on Apple reporting on battery charge. Sometimes they report it not correct. You can eliminate this by running more than one test in a row.

Great for testing cables, and chargers

App does what is supposed to do.

I took one star off due to ads being so obnoxious and taking over the screen with no way to dismiss them, making the app unusable until I paid to remove them.

I’m usually fine with the trial version of an app having ads that I did pay to remove once I decide I like the app. But with this app, I couldn’t even test drive the app without removing the ads first as they take over the entire screen with loud sound, and I had to force quit the app to get back to the main screen. So I just blindly paid for the app before I even knew if I wanted to not.

Testing takes 10-15 minutes

No one has time to wait 10-15 minutes to find out how fast they are charging

Response from developer

I would appreciate if you would complain to Apple corporation. Because it’s not us, a small app developers who made you wait for the test to complete. It’s Apple who decided that we should not have access to the battery information directly via the iOS. As a result we do not have ANY access to this info except for the battery percentage changes. So that’s what you as a user get as a result. You have to wait until those battery percentages will change … hope you do understand the problem and where it is. Regards, Andre

False readings

It says my charger is slow and only 5w when it's one if the best ones out there. It literally charges my phone in less than 1hr and it calls it a slow wireless charger.. But on my crappy car charger, it reads it at 10w. Seriously I believe this is a scam app just to get ad revenue.

Hello, Filthy Richard. Did you follow the test instructions? You do know that if you want to compare two different chargers, you need to do it when your phone is charged in the same charge range? Please follow the test instructions. If you still think that you getting wrong results- feel free to email to me at support@criosoft.com so I will check what is wrong. Regards, Andre

Too slow

I have an app on my other phone called Ampere by Braintrapp that measures amperes of the battery within seconds. This takes over 10 minutes! It seems that far superior app is only available on Android devices. Now I’m starting to realize just how pathetic iOS apps can be. I guess I’ll have to use the iPhone I have just for making videos and taking pictures. The apps for their operating system is just getting worse and worse. Deleted this app immediately.

Completely useless

Crashes every time during testing. Complete waist of time.

Edit: seemingly has fixed itself after hard rebooting of he phone, so if others have the issue then try that. So I have now reevaluated my star rating from 1 to 4 stars (couldn’t quite give it 5 stars due to the initial issue mentioned above) as it does in fact work now and is pretty accurate.

It’s seems that you specifically adding one star reviews for all of our free apps. If it’s not done just to hurt the apps ratings, please either specify the problem here, or email me at support@criosoft.com so I will be able to help you. Andre

Best app to test chargers!

I love this app when over I get a new charger this is the first thing I use to make sure I didn’t get ripped off. Highly recommend!

Only one problem the most recent update broke the UI and it’s now missed configure. The app works fine but it looks bad.

I also would love to see a history function.

Very simple but useful app

I use this app to check my chargers in the car and wireless chargers. Works very well. Shows correct values, and very simple and easy to use.
