Doesn’t seem too accurate

I’m getting 44.43 watts on tests with a fast charger. That’s not likely as it’s an 18 watt charger. Not sure if I’m interpreting it incorrectly.

My 7.5 watt charger is correct though getting around 7.48 watts as a result.

Doesn’t work

Forever stuck on “testing”, iPhone XS Max, iOS 13.1

Rubbish

Never produces a result for charging mA. Total waste of money - do not buy!!

Response from developer

Thank you for your review. If by "it does not work" you mean that the test is running too slow, then it is true. Tests are not very fast. And not because we don't want them to work fast. Because all fast access was removed by Apple since iOS 10. So we use the only method that still works to get this data, and it's slow. Basically, you either will not have an app to get this information at all or have it, but it works slow. Hope it clarifies it, and if it does, changing the rating to something that is indeed a fault of the app would be helpful. Thank you, Regards, Andre Could you please reply to our message? Thank you Update: were you able to use the app now? Please give it a bit more time to complete. On slow chargers the process might take up to 10 minutes to complete. Regards, Andrew

Doesn’t appear to ever give a result

Black text on a dark blue background on the help page..

Never returns a result, which is it’s primary purpose.

Thank you for the review. Hello, Phil. Issue should be fixed. Could you please give it another try? Regards, Andrew Black test issue will be fixed in a matter of days. Regarding the result, you need to be more patient. Please give it some time and it will give you the result. I understand that because of the black screen you can’t really see help, so it’s hard to see what to do without it. Tests are slow. Sometimes it can take like 10-15 minutes if you are running slow setup. I would love to be able to do measurements faster, but for iOS higher than 10 it’s not possible. Regards, Andrew

Good app

Rwcommended!

Ampere

This is junk. DO Not waste your money. The App Store advertises that this will monitor cables and chargers. It does no such thing! Also the diagnostic tool for amperage does not work! This is pure junk! Do not waste your money!

No results on checking the battery charger.

Got this to measure a charger. When i clicked on measure, it putzed around for near 5 minutes, spitting out little messages about how hard it was working! Feeling some heat! It just churned away giving no results. Whatever. Etc, etc. no results after 5 minutes.

Does not measure wireless

Look for "wireless charge" at app store, this came up almost at first... Bought it... Does not work for "wireless charge". Should not come as a result for this query.... Plugged into cable, phone is charging, tried again... App asks to plug charger!!!!! I try again... It now knows it's charging then it shuts. Refund please!

Great testing tool. Can we get a test log or history file?

Not working.

I would give it a 5 star if it did what it said, I can leave it testing for 30mins and it still won’t finish and give me a result, it’s just endlessly saying “Testing...” on my screen.
