Every time you do the slightest thing with this app, everything stops, and you must watch, then close, an ad—just to know when your battery’s charged! (If you dare to try running it offline, so it can’t download new ads, it just sits there showing a "progress" animation.) It’s like a parody of over-commercialism. Thanks, but I think I’ll just leave my iPad plugged in and take my chances! ### 2/5 — IOS18 *2024-12-29, version 2.10* Doesn’t work properly with iOS18. ### 2/5 — Does not work any more since 2.9 *2024-11-09, version 2.10* 2.9 and 2.10: App starts but hangs at slim/fat battery animation. It's a pity, since before it was a well usable app. ### 2/5 — 2 stars *2024-11-05, version 2.8* 2 stars because my phone is at 32% and it said my phone is at 30-0% may you please fix the issue ### 2/5 — In background *2023-07-13, version 2.1* Is there any way to make the app work when it is not the active app in foreground? ### 3/5 — Fair? *2022-10-09, version 2.1* TL;DR — app works as expected, as described. No iOS notifications from app, uses standard volume rather than ringtone and alarm setting, and is limited to a single alarm. A range cannot be set if someone were trying to moderate their charging. — I installed "Battery Alarm" upon my new iPhone 14 Pro Max. I wanted to use the app as a tool to assist my manual regulation of battery charging. It only permits me to set a single alarm, rather than two for a minimum and maximum. That's fine. Everything is fine; I am just bein' silly, and so I've given a three star hopefully to reflect my indifference and not harshly affect their rating. I stopped charging before the first alarm could sound. That's my choice. The app has experienced two more events where it should have sounded. The first of these I never heard, as my phone volume is minimum, and the app doesn't use the ringtone setting I have configured more audibly. The second instance sounded at this low volume at the desired battery percentage, but only when I opened the app, and not in the background or by notification. But I am not sure the app will sound if it is left in the background. That may be my settings, though. I have some aggressive settings to reduce app activity in favor of cellular data, Wi-Fi and battery performance. If I have one real concern that prevents a five star rating, it will be my apparent lack of notifications from the app. I will prefer a battery alarm app notify me using Apple iOS' built-in system for this purpose. As for the app's integrated serving of advertisements, I cannot care about that and have not weighed this into my rating. My dissatisfaction and rating is user error, probably. The app is fine, I think. Sorry — quirky human here. :) Ta ta! ### 1/5 — Doesn't work background !! *2020-11-30, version 1.9* Even doesn't work top window when OFF screen. ### 3/5 — .... *2020-11-22, version 1.8* Would give 5 stars but too many ads ### 4/5 — Very useful app but *2020-11-19, version 1.8* It is a very useful tool for avoiding overcharging. Alarm sound is great. But it doesn’t show your battery percentage. Need to look in the corner of the screen. Too many ads from time to time (not always) when I activate charging mode. It is so annoying that I thought I cannot activate charging mode. Otherwise it is a very good app. ### 1/5 — Didn’t work *2020-10-17* Just tried the app. Love the idea but the alarm never went off, while it kept charging past the set level . Also lots of adverts keep popping up. Wouldn’t mind that if the alarm actually worked ### 1/5 — Does not work *2020-09-17, version 1.7* Tried it. Checked and realized it had past the target level but heard no alarm. No evidence that it even has an alarm. ### 3/5 — No background mode *2020-09-01, version 1.6* Good app but needs to work in the background. That is what is holding it back from becoming a great useful app. Also needs ability to change alarm sound. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Only a pulsing image displayed … *2025-04-24* NOTHING ELSE follows… ### 1/5 — Too many ads to even get started *2025-02-27, version 2.10* I was seriously interested in this app, but it had so many ads that I couldn’t even get to the part where I could pay for it without a ton of ads blocking my way. Ironic. ### 1/5 — Greedy with adverts *2024-09-17, version 2.7* Just a ridiculous amount of ads, including misleading fake messages such as “memory full” Also I want an alarm for DIScharging, to alert when due to a dodgy cable or other power problem the phone is not charging. ### 1/5 — Need option to remove ads *2023-11-15, version 2.5* Very aggressive ads with no option to remove. Otherwise nicely designed. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2022-09-21, version 2.1* My phone has surpassed the 80% battery level several times without any notice ### 1/5 — Didn’t work for me :( *2022-07-10, version 2.1* I really wanted this to app to work, but my phone charged well past the level I’d set. It’s free, so it’s still worth a go. Maybe it will work for you. Just keep an eye on it the first time. ### 1/5 — Works ok, but delayed *2021-08-06, version 1.13* Could dev speed up battery graphic? Launch is slow due to battery graphics. Half the time alarm fails to ring. Update: v1.13 still nothing fixed ### 1/5 — Terrible *2021-06-21, version 1.12* Did not work as intended ### 1/5 — Too many full-screen ads, blaring audio. *2021-01-24, version 1.11* Incessant full-screen ads with blaring audio make this app rubbish. This app is poorly thought-out, and quite annoying in its present form. ### 1/5 — Latest version as of 1/10/21 but alarm can not be heard unless your in the same room... *2021-01-11, version 1.11* ... alarm sound is very faint please make it louder!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Super app *2023-12-29, version 2.5* Super app, vraiment rient à redire, pour cette app gratuite. Que tu bonheur ! Merci ### 5/5 — My 80% Charge Alarm *2023-09-20* That's the high end. I use 40% as my low end with another battery app. That 1 app can't simulateously be used as a single SAFE CHARGE LEVEL for maximum battery life is truly inexplicable! ### 5/5 — Great *2023-06-05, version 2.1* This App is great for controlling what % you want your phone to charge to. ### 5/5 — Excelente trabajo. *2023-01-23, version 2.1* Muy buen trabajo. ### 5/5 — Very nice *2021-10-19, version 1.13* Very nice ### 5/5 — Good *2021-01-19, version 1.11* It works fine. Hopefully in the future it can work in background. ### 5/5 — Recommended *2020-11-21, version 1.8* I recommend this App. ### 5/5 — Really works *2020-08-22, version 1.6* This is one of the very best battery alarm. ### 5/5 — Great app. Exactly what I need. *2020-08-18, version 1.5* Works well, is simple and clean. Best app of this kind that I could find. And I tried a few. Maybe a bit rough around the edges, but it’s free, and has no ads. Perfect. Thanks for sharing! ### 5/5 — Was waiting for an app for this *2020-06-15, version 1.1* Works no more overcharging. Now need to be able to set a low percentage alarm.
