It said in app purchases and did not show a price in the App Store. I downloaded and what looked like part of instal process, needed 4 or 5 “Continue” buttons clicked… then it asked for Touch ID. I thought it was part of the install process, but no. It was a $10 payment. Seemed a bit sneaky to me. My loss. I’m down $10. Should have been clearer that the sequence of install/configuring screens led straight into a purchase. ### 2/5 — worked fine - until now *2023-04-21, version 5.2* It worked fine almost the whole 1 year of my Pro upgrade. The renewal is on 26 May '23. But since it stopped ringing when charged to the specified % I cancelled my subscription. ### 3/5 — An ok *2022-09-20, version 5.2* It did what it should be doing … but I am looking for an app that can tell how old is my battery is . ### 2/5 — Pretty good, needs improvement *2022-04-15* Because of the way iOS handles background tasks, the app has to be open and the alarm "set" for it to go off while the device is charging. There's a setting that implies the charge alarm will better work in the background if you pay, but doing so and switching the toggle for that on didn't make a perceptible difference for me. 🤷‍♀️ You _can_ set up a shortcut/automation task that will do this for you when connecting to a charger, which makes the app worthwhile. Without this, I would find it entirely useless. So props for that! 😁 There are caveats to how well this works, though, unfortunately. It doesn't work if the device isn't unlocked, or the screen is off. It also doesn't take into account volume - not in your device settings or in the app, for the charge alarm. I can work around almost all of this by being mindful of my habits, _except_ for the volume issue. I really dislike the fact it doesn't honor the settings for this because what happens is the volume defaults to 100%. This _regularly_ scares me when it goes off! 😭 To make matters worse, the system ringer/alarm volume stays maxed out, making _other_ apps' sounds scare me unless I remember to put it back down after the charge session is over. 😱 To the developer: _please,_ improve the shortcut so that it either honors the volume already set in the app, or allow the volume to be set in the shortcut configuration! 🙇‍♀️🥺 **Developer response:** Sorry for replying too late but will definitely add switch. You can enable to use existing volume of an iPhone or use default 100% which is currently active. Thanks for wonderful feedback. ### 1/5 — Charged my battery to 100% *2022-03-13, version 5.2* I asked it to charge my battery to 80% but it fully charged my battery. ### 4/5 — Looking for an improvement *2022-02-27* I was hoping the app would have an alarm to let us know when the phone has reached a minimum capacity. For example, alarm rings when the battery has reached 10%. ### 1/5 — Too too too much ad and it’s a waste app DO NOT DOWNLOAD *2022-01-01, version 5.2* Just waste ### 1/5 — Its not working *2021-12-11, version 5.2* Please resolve the issue it's not working. I had set it to 90 percent and it didn't send me a notification 🔔 I did not kill the app as well. I thought it might be a good app looking at the UI ### 1/5 — Doesn’t give any useful battery condition information, just displays ads *2021-11-04* It says it will give data after 10 minutes of charging with the app open. A half hour later, no data, just ads for cryptocurrency each time you request either of the two available information charts. Just a scam to display advertising. Zero information regarding how bad an old battery is in terms of charge capacity. Completely worthless. **Developer response:** Hello Sorry for inconvenience. This app is charging alarm. When your phone’s battery is 100% charge it will notify you by ringtone and notification. Battery states after 10mins of charge is there and will show after sometime when calculation is done but this is not main purpose of the app. Once user buy pro version of the app ads will not show for lifetime. Hope this information helps. ### 1/5 — Worthless! *2021-07-07* P.O.S. Doesn’t do anything but give you pop up adds!!!! **Developer response:** Hello, Sorry for inconvenience This app only notifies & alarm is battery 100% full to avoid overcharging. If you buy pro membership this will remove Ads and also app will run in background. ### 1/5 — It didn’t work *2021-04-06* Maybe I use the wrong type of charger. I set it for 80% with a loud bell. It charged to 100% and there was no alarm. I use a wireless charger. Was that the problem? **Developer response:** Hello, We have updated the app. Please update & let us know ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Requires a Plan *2026-05-23* This app has worked ok for a year.

No thanks. ### 1/5 — Bug: Changes phone volume to zero when closing. *2025-08-18, version 5.3* And once dimmed you can’t get the full brightness back in the app ### 1/5 — Confusing *2024-06-18, version 5.3* There's meant to be an alarm that can be set at a user specified percentage. Doesn't work. Androids apps miles better. Third app I've tried that doesn't work. Seems more interested in selling stuff ### 1/5 — 100% volume level *2023-12-22* how does an app to set the volume to 100% as default and the volume is not saved after exiting the app! this bug is too obvious and this app is basically not being test at all! **Developer response:** Hello, Sorry for inconvenience, In latest update we have fixed this bug. App will preserve the original setting of volume after existing the app. Thanks . ### 1/5 — bug for pro or free version *2023-12-21, version 5.2* Update please for ios 17 ### 1/5 — Where is battery health % ? *2023-03-06* Why no bare ### 1/5 — DO NOT DOWNLOAD! *2023-02-26, version 5.2* Ever since I installed this application, my Instagram and Facebook got hacked.
