### 1/5 — After IOS update 17.4

*2024-03-16*

When I updated the software update for my phone and I use the app, if my phone is 90% the app will show its 92%. It’s really annoying and I wish there’s some update where it gets fixed.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-01-15, version 3.1.3*

This app did not work at all and did not notify me in any way no matter the setting.

### 2/5 — 表示とずれ

*2023-12-07, version 3.1.3*

便利に利用していました。以前は1%ごとに表示されていたのに、この2カ月くらいは5%ごとの表示になり、このアプリで80%でもiPhoneの表示では78%となっている。

### 5/5 — Best battery alarm app

*2023-04-09, version 3.1.3*

This and the "Battery Charge Alarm" app are the only two apps that work reliably for me. I prefer this one because it doesn't show an intrusive full-screen ad every time the charger is plugged in. Protip: create an automation in the Apple Shortcuts app that will automatically open this app when the charger is plugged in and the battery charge level is less than whatever your desired target is (I aim for 90%).

### 2/5 — Ps d’autres longues je ne comprend pas anglais

*2023-02-03, version 3.1.3*

Merci

### 1/5 — Useless

*2023-01-05, version 3.1.3*

Never ending alarm. “Millions” of notifications...

### 5/5 — Battery Alarm

*2022-12-21, version 3.1.3*

Awesome app for saving your battery from overcharging.   Maybe add a feature so you can reduce the amount of amps it puts in too. 👌🏻

### 1/5 — Alarm doesn’t work

*2022-10-03, version 3.1.3*

Just purchased pro version of this app and upto my surprise the alarm doesn’t work. Low battery alarm and battery charging alarm both doesn’t work. Never purchased an app but really disappointed when I did one.

### 2/5 — Français

*2022-09-24, version 3.1.3*

Comment traduire en français

### 4/5 — Weird Shortcut Glitch

*2022-09-08*

I really like this app! It only has one weird oddity if you open it up with a shortcut it doesn’t switch back to max it thinks it’s reading the low it but it keeps the The numbers from the max and alarm goes off. For instance if you have your max alarm set at 80 and you use it once with a shortcut, then turn it off and use it a second time with a shortcut he comes up pointing over to the low side but the number still reads 80 instead of 20, that’s a low sideIs sad too. It does this every time you come back after opening with a shortcut. Even if the next time it is opened manually. If you close it before you remove power it works right or you can toggle the Less Than or Equals to Greater Than or Equals manually. I would’ve sent the developer support a question but it just goes to a blank page with a link that says to come back here. I am running IOS1 5.5
