It never changes from that number. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. I am using the app on my own phone and it works with a limitation (by apple). Third party apps are only allowed to update the battery level in 5% steps. Sorry for that 😟 ### 1/5 — Does not work *2024-07-28* Does not even show up in the widget list. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work… *2024-03-24* Does not work for Lock Screen widgets. When you try to “customize”/“add widgets”, batteries does not even appear on the list of apps and does not come up in search. ### 1/5 — Does nothing it said *2024-03-02* I bought this because the promo said it would extend battery life. That’s a lie. ### 1/5 — Does nothing it said *2024-03-01* I bought this because the promo said it would extend battery life. That’s a lie. ### 1/5 — Ungenau *2023-12-02* Ich wollte eine neue smartere Batterie Anzeige, leider liegt sie in dieser App immer um 2% daneben! Plus, was evtl. an einem Update liegen kann, man kann kein Widget im Lock Screen erstellen, weil diese App gar nicht zur Auswahl steht, alles in allem leider nicht empfehlenswert! ### 1/5 — Zeigt falsche Werte *2023-10-29* 1 -2% andere Werte wie im IPhone selbst **Developer response:** Danke für die Rückmeldung. Leider ist das durch Apple bedingt, Drittanbieter bekommen den Batteriestatus leider nur in 5% Schritten über das öffentliche API von Apple. Ich checke immer wieder nach neuen Versionen, ob sich hier etwas ändert. Sorry. ### 2/5 — Works… but not good *2025-03-19* The app works, but needs more options. Maybe display the battery percentage as a widget and the ability to customize the color would be nice ### 3/5 — Looks good, not really accurate *2023-09-20* All the widget options look - better than the stock ones I would say - but they're not very accurate. That's probably due to limitations set by Apple, but it does somewhat defeat the object. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately, this is due to Apple, third-party providers unfortunately only get the battery status in 5% steps via Apple’s public API. I keep checking for new versions to see if anything changes here. Sorry. ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — iP14 *2025-12-31* hallo ### 5/5 — Essenziell *2025-12-13* Das Widget sollte von Haus aus vorinstalliert sein. ### 5/5 — Super! *2024-05-06* Coole Widgets für den Sperrbildschirm, bin echt zufrieden. Hat sich gelohnt! ### 5/5 — Super appli *2023-01-23* top appli manque juste une personnalisation des couleurs du widget, j'espère la voir venir Danke ### 5/5 — Batteries - Lock Screen Widget Works Great! *2022-10-08* What sold me on this app is the large rectangular percent widget. I was looking for an easy to read at quick glance widget. If in future releases the text in the widget were to get even larger I would not complain. For me the larger the text the better. My thanks to the developer for an excellent app at a fair price. Job well done! **Developer response:** Thank you 😊 ### 4/5 — Really Great! *2022-11-09* I think it’s app is really great! It was exactly what I was looking for when iOS16 was released. Thank you for sharing this app with the world. I’d give it five stars but there’s just one thing I would improve; when I plug my charger, the percentage on the Lock Screen widget does not match the actual amount of percentage the phone has been charged. It is about 10% off. Other than that, thank you for the app. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
