### 2/5 — Intrusive subscription page EVERY time you open the app

*2025-11-25*

Please, get rid of the subscription screen EVERY time you open the app. Makes it really annoying to check the app, considering it loses sync with my watch so often I NEED to reload the app on the phone. This pretty much defeats the purpose of the app and I hate seeing the “subscribe” button every time. May move toward uninstalling this app idk.

### 2/5 — Ñ aparece

*2025-11-12, version 3.4*

Comprei por 1 ano e ñ aparece. Tenho que esperar a avaliação de 7 dias?

### 4/5 — Inzwischen deutlich besser

*2025-08-11, version 2.16.6*

Ich muss meine ursprüngliche negative Bewertung korrigieren. Inzwischen funktioniert das, weshalb ich mir diese App besorgt habe: dass ich den Akkustand des iPhones auf der Apple Watch abrufen kann. Die automatische Aktualisierung des Akkustands Klappt nicht so richtig. Aber die händische Abfrage von der Watch aus hat jetzt immer funktioniert. Und dann gibt noch ein paar kleinere Probleme bzgl. der Anzeige. Deshalb gibt es jetzt erst einmal nur vier Sterne.

### 4/5 — I’m very sad

*2025-06-27*

The app works great but I got lifetime from app advice website and with the last update it cancelled

**Developer response:** Hey! I’m really sorry to hear about this - that’s super frustrating when an update messes with something that was working perfectly for you. I totally get why you’re bummed out about losing the lifetime access you got from the advice website.

Thanks for taking the time to leave the review and let me know what happened. I definitely want to get this sorted out for you! Could you shoot me an email at unpluggdapp@gmail.com with some details about your original purchase? I’ll dig into it and make sure I get you back to where you should be.

Appreciate your patience while I figure this out! 🙏

### 1/5 — WTF?

*2025-03-16, version 2.15*

我就是要看手錶要看手機剩多少電而已，結果還要打開手機APP刷新才會準？早就訂閱高級版了，還一直叫我訂閱？如果還要打開手機看電量，那設計這個APP要幹嘛？？？真的無言😑

### 1/5 — Assinatura não funciona no Apple Watch

*2025-01-09, version 2.12*

Assinei o plano anual, e no relógio Apple Watch ao abrir o app ele diz que preciso de uma assinatura premium a qual já tenho pra usar, e não mostra a bateria do iPhone no relógio.

### 1/5 — Does not sync autom.

*2025-01-01, version 2.12*

Only manual synchronization works

### 1/5 — 都領了0元限免了，還自動訂閱

*2024-12-29, version 2.12*

都領了0元限免了，還自動訂閱

### 3/5 — UI has great potential

*2024-12-28*

I was unable to get the watch battery level accurate on my iOS 18.2 iPhone 16 & Ultra 2. I had the complication active in “live” mode for 3 days but never got a correct reading. I like the UI a lot. Maybe I’ll give this app another try in the future.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback and for the kind words about the app’s UI! 

I’m sorry to hear the Live Activities didn’t perform as expected on your phone. Just know while this feature is still being refined, I’m committed to improving it! 

Many users have had a great experience with the app’s notifications and complications, and I aim to bring the Live Activities up to the same standard. 

If you’d like, feel free to email me at unpluggdapp@gmail.com and I’ll gladly let you know when the update is ready. 

I appreciate your support!

### 5/5 — So helpful!

*2024-09-08*

Such a useful app to help me keep track of my battery level without having to pull my phone out all the time. The reminders are especially useful while travelling as I don’t always have as many opportunities to charge my phone and find it hard to keep track of everything. Thoroughly recommend!!!

**Developer response:** Stay tuned for more features coming specifically for the traveling use case 😉 Hope you love it when it comes out. It's still cooking but coming 🧑‍🍳

Until then, happy battery tracking! 🔋💚

### 1/5 — Не работает

*2026-06-16*

Часы полностью зарядились, а уведомление не поступило.

**Developer response:** Привет, Дмитрий! Спасибо, что написали, и извините за неудобство. Уведомление о полной зарядке точно должно приходить, так что мне жаль, что в этот раз оно не сработало.

Обычно это быстро решается: иногда дело в настройках, иногда в чём-то на моей стороне, что я могу поправить. В любом случае хочу разобраться вместе с вами и всё наладить.

Напишите мне, пожалуйста, на unpluggdapp@gmail.com. Я отвечаю на каждое письмо лично и помогу всё исправить.

### 1/5 — Avoid It

*2026-04-26*

After having the app installed for 48 hours it was unable to correctly display the battery level of my watch.  I tried the recommended fixes but nothing worked. I’m guessing the newer iOS has killed its ability to function.

**Developer response:** Hi,
I'm really sorry the app didn't work for you. Reviews like this are tough to read, but I appreciate you taking the time to share, and I'd genuinely like the chance to make it right.

If you're open to it, please email me at unpluggdapp@gmail.com with your iPhone and Apple Watch models plus your iOS and watchOS versions, and let me know whether you're on the latest version (3.7.4). As a solo developer, I only have one device to test on, and setups vary in ways I can't always predict. Your specific case would help me a lot.

One thing worth trying if you're on the latest iOS: the new Adaptive Power mode seems to interfere with how often background updates can run, and disabling it has helped a number of users with similar reports.

I'm also actively working on a major rework, shipping in version 3.7.5, where updates will be delivered via internet push instead of relying purely on Bluetooth. This should make this kind of issue far less common. If you'd want to try it early, just mention it in the email.
Thanks for giving Unplugged a shot. The door's open if you'd like to try again.

### 1/5 — Inconsistent watch sync; Intrusive subscription page

*2025-12-04*

Need to open the app on the iPhone in order to sync with watch. Even if I leave the app open on iphone, it loses sync often and I have to manually go in and open the app again — defeating the entire purpose. But what pushes me over the edge is the subscription screen EVERY time you open the app. Uninstalled, sadly.

**Developer response:** Hi,
I really appreciate the honest feedback, even though it's hard to read. Both of these are fair points.

On the sync issue, you're right, and the "having to manually open the iPhone app" problem is exactly what I'm trying to eliminate. I'm shipping a major rework in version 3.7.5 that delivers updates via internet push instead of relying purely on Bluetooth, which should make this kind of failure far less common.

On the subscription screen showing every launch, that's fair criticism. It wasn't meant to feel intrusive, but I hear how it lands, and I'm rethinking how and when it appears. Feedback like yours is exactly what pushes those changes up the priority list.

If you'd ever be open to giving it another shot once 3.7.5 lands, I'd love that. And if you have a moment, an email to unpluggdapp@gmail.com with your setup (iPhone model, Apple Watch model, iOS and watchOS versions) would help me figure out exactly when sync was breaking for you.

### 1/5 — The watch app won’t update the latest % of my phone unless I open the app in my phone

Even already have the premium activated

### 1/5 — Do not update!

*2025-08-31, version 2.16.6*

Something is wrong

### 1/5 — Estafa. Ahora desconectada.

*2025-08-25, version 2.16.6*

Me ha roto el apple watch, no para de desconectarse. No instalar. La respuesta del desarrollador: el fallo es de apple. Soporte de apple ya ha enviado mi reloj dos veces a reparar sin conseguirlo. Ahora el móvil también pide reparar batería cuando funcionaban previamente a más de un 80% de rendimiento. La app se ha cargado el apple watch y el iphone.

### 1/5 — 為何有終生版免費…卻還是被收費了..

*2025-04-17, version 2.16.1*

我點了終生版免費的選項，卻被收費700多元…可以麻煩你們處理一下嗎！（有寄信給你們了～感恩！）

### 1/5 — Not working

*2025-04-17, version 2.16.1*

The sync only works if you refresh manually. Which makes the app pretty useless

Superbe application avec pour l’instant aucun bug constaté. Le design est à mon goût parfait. Je suis impatient de voir comment vous allez faire évoluer votre "bébé" et vers quelle direction vous allez vous diriger !
Merci à vous et bon courage.

### 5/5 — Utilissima

*2025-09-12, version 2.16.6*

Ho solo un problema. Tutti i quadranti all’interno sono compatibili con tutti gli Ape Watch? Ho la versione premium. Scarica sempre lo stesso e qualcun’altro. Grazie

### 5/5 — Finally, a watch complication to show battery %!

*2025-04-16*

I have often wondered why this feature was not standard for My Watch; it is nice to have my battery life show up on my Apple Watch face. I also appreciate getting a warning when battery power drops to a certain level.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the wonderful review, Mazeppa! I'm glad the complication fills that gap for you. I was surprised myself that the Watch doesn't offer this as a standard feature, which is what motivated me to create it. Really appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback!

### 5/5 — 開發者會回應問題

*2025-03-02, version 2.15*

小Bug報告𢓭 開發者會回應解決方法

### 5/5 — “Feedback on Accessibility Improvements and Subscription Issue”

*2025-01-23, version 2.14*

Dear Developer,

Thank you for creating such a practical and useful app. I previously reported an issue where VoiceOver could not read the battery levels of my watch and phone, and I’m happy to see that it has been resolved. I truly appreciate your commitment to accessibility. As a visually impaired user from Taiwan, I sincerely thank you for your efforts and dedication to accessible design.

In addition, I would like to report another issue regarding the subscription status. Although I am a premium member, the Apple Watch complications sometimes fail to function and display a message indicating that a subscription is required. I kindly ask for your assistance in fixing this issue. Thank you again for your support.

Best regards,
[iOS Hams]

### 5/5 — Utile

*2024-12-27, version 2.12*

Encore une fonctionnalité qui sera volée par Apple. Trop utile

### 5/5 — The App I didn’t know I needed

*2024-11-15*

I’m constantly charging my phone in different places of my house/office/car or wherever else I am and this is a fantastic way to keep track of the charge so I know when I’m good to go! 
Honestly, hard to believe this isn’t already a feature between the watch and iPhone because now I don’t think I could go back!

**Developer response:** Thanks for the heartwarming review; it means a lot! Like you, I was surprised this wasn't already a built-in feature, which is exactly why I created it. It's wonderful to hear how it's become essential for your charging routine across different locations! Stay tuned for some exciting new features coming before the end of the year - I think you'll love them! Happy charging! 💚🔋
