### 5/5 — Functional and easy

*2026-07-10, version 2.9.2*

I find the Battery Charge Alarm app easy to use and helpful to maximize battery life.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-07-02, version 2.9.2*

This is a great app to have on your phone if you want to avoid overcharging.

### 5/5 — Good,but...

*2026-06-30, version 2.9.2*

Not a bad battery app, but doesn't always notify when phone reaches preset percentage point and charges straight to 100% instead. The other thing is very limited on notification tones. Could do with improvement, but its the only one worth downloading thats free considering very little choice from the App Store. 🙃

### 3/5 — Ads are LOUD

*2026-06-24, version 2.9.2*

Advertisements play very LOUDLY and annoy everyone.

### 3/5 — Loud commercials

*2026-06-08, version 2.9.2*

Ads are too loud, destroys the usefulness of the app

### 4/5 — Almost perfect

*2026-05-30, version 2.9.2*

You mute your phone sound for the stupid ads, then you are muted when the alarm goes off? Not great.

### 1/5 — it has not alerted me

*2026-05-15, version 2.9.2*

this app just likes giving ads, doesn’t alert you like it promises, might work 2/10 times. not worth it.

### 1/5 — It is NOT reliable!

*2026-05-11, version 2.9.2*

This is a great little app, and it works just well. However, on tablets and desktops when the ads come in at the beginning, some of them raise the device volume, causing the user to lower the volume which, if the user forgets to bring the volume back up then the alarm cannot be heard. The other issue is that some of the ads do not have an option to get out of the ad without hearing the entire ad even if it’s not something that you want to hear. I recommend they work on that ad feature that creates these two problems. Other than that it’s a great little app to say congratulations.

### 2/5 — Not working

*2026-05-10, version 2.9.1*

I just paid the .99cents to remove the ads but when I press the set alarm button nothing happens.

### 2/5 — Not reliable

*2026-05-10, version 2.9.1*

Worked well for a while and suddenly refused to start. Uninstalled and reinstalled. Still the same problem. What a shame…
