Nope.

Tasks you to import a file that does not exist.

This app wants an analytics file that does not exist

Title.

Does exactly what it says it will do.

Read the analytics file and easily extracted the relevant data.

Perfect

Just very convenient to use and get good results

Do not install under any circumstances

For some unexplained reason this app locks the Privacy/Analysis file that is used to interrogate variable values used to calculate battery capacity. This happens even after the app is subsequently closed and the device restarted.
To solve the issue I deleted the app as soon as this issue was identified and strongly advise that you don’t install it until the developer explains why this happens.

Also, an incorrect variable is used so the battery capacity result is wrong.

Really useful

Great app for those of us without the latest apple devices. Thanks buddy

Does one thing, and does it well.

Best of all, NO DATA COLLECTION!
Thank you for this app.
I appreciate you.

My iPad Pro was purchased in 2021, iPads don’t have the battery health feature, like the iPhones. This feature was only added into the new iPads introduced in mid 2024.
Bast provides the device name; the current iOS; battery capacity with battery indicator on the left normally black, but if it’s less capacity showing 85% or less it turns red. What impressed me the most is it shows battery charging count which the maximum is 1000, if near that count a message might show battery needs replacing. The 6 steps are easy to follow. The only part that might be difficult is getting the report. When reaching Analytics & Data. Search for the one that starts with the word “analytics.“ Look for the current date; example 2026-01-08 indicating the latest charging date Jan 8, 2026 ending with the word Synced. Tap on that section. A box at the top right with an arrow pointing up appears. Tap on it. You may see 2 of rows of information. The row that starts with the word “AirPlay“ if you’re on iPadOS 26, place your finger on the right side and slide it from right to left till you see the three dots at the end tap them; there you’ll see a column of different apps. Scroll down till you see the app “Bast”; tap on it and the report comes up. Hope that’s helpful!!!

Information

Useful can see my cycle counts for battery usage

Jury is out

Easy to use, but my confidence in its accuracy was somewhat shaken when it told me my iPad was an iPhone.

Honestly doing what it says - thank you

Straight forward app that gives you your battery health status - no fuss, no ads, no data collection

Must have for checking purchase of iPad

Buying an iPad off an unknown person, is a scam filled minefield. Seller claim a 2022 (3 yr old) iPad was unused, but the keyboard selling with it was almost junk. Alarms went off for me. The iPad looked great. Download this app, also took pictures. The camera was not great, and the battery info showed no details in BAST, with 0 cycles and no identification.

Great little app for checking battery health

Very nice app for checking the battery health. Especially helpful for checking battery life cycle of a used iPad.

Does exactly what it advertises

No fluff, no pauses, no bull

2.0.1 Now functioning perfectly, Thanks so much 🤩

—earlier—
1.5.2 was fine, but the last 2 don’t seem to be working , health is n/A. Cycle Count is 0, everything else says n/A.

—previous—
Can you tell me what changes or improvements have been made. Many apps nowadays update just to add advertisements to the app. Up to this point it’s been perfect.

Response from developer

Hello, Thank you very much for your feedback. Please don't worry, I will never implement advertising in my apps. BAST is free and will remain so. I am constantly updating the app so that it works smoothly with the latest iOS versions and features. I am currently preparing version 2.0. It will have a completely redesigned UI and will be much more user-friendly. If you would like to test the new version in advance, please contact me at info@codx-studio.com

Excellent Battery Info Utility

Uses the iDevice analytics logging to give accuracy info.

Changes ❓

I’m kind of scared to update. Can you tell me what changes or improvements have been made. Many apps nowadays update just to add advertisements to the app. Up to this point it’s been perfect. So I’m wondering what changes you’ve made. Is it still free of advertisements and subscriptions? Please be honest. Thanks in advance.
