I don’t own a Mac, so my Apple airpod 3 Pro and beats products can not be displayed. Other battery apps have found a way to list these devices. ### 4/5 — It would be better in refreshing *2026-06-04* I never know the % of my laptop, because it doesn’t auto-refresh. It should have an auto-trigger playing in back ### 3/5 — Application incomplète *2026-04-04* L’appli est assez pratique, mais la limitation à l’utilisation d’un MacBook pour la connexion d’un appareil Bluetooth empêche l’ajout d’une montre connectée Coros. J’ai donc tous mes accessoires reliés à l’appli sauf ma montre connectée. J’ajoute qu’on ne peut pas non plus ajouter un Apple Pencil. ### 4/5 — Perfekt *2026-03-14* Ich habe ein MacBook Air 15“ M5, ein Mac Mini M4, ein iPad Pro 13“ M4, ein iPhone 17 Pro Max und eine Apple Watch Ultra 3 in dieser App. Und alle Geräte synchronisieren perfekt. Ich kann nicht nachvollziehen, dass hier Manche Probleme melden. Ich finde, es ist eine super App, die alles macht, was sie soll! ### 2/5 — I hate when they do this *2026-03-01, version 4.4.1* Don’t even bother if you don’t have Mac. You downloading app so you can have whole data in one place but after purchase you realise you need to have MacBook to connect devices via Bluetooth, there’s no other way. Even if you have apple AirPods, you still need Mac to connect them. It’s a joke ### 4/5 — Lâchez pas *2026-01-18, version 4.4* Bonne et heureuse année ### 3/5 — Synchronisiert nur sporadisch *2026-01-02* Geräte: Apple Watch 10, Iphone 15 Pro, iPad Pro, iPad Air, AirPods 3 Pro+Case, Apple Magic Mouse+Keyboard. Synchronisiert nicht wie beschrieben alle 15 Minuten, leider auch bei manuellen Refresh nicht. Irgendwann werden einzelne Geräte mal synchronisiert. Bei dem Widget werden auch nur maximal 6 Geräte angezeigt. Ansonsten werden alle Geräte angezeigt. ### 4/5 — Works great for me *2025-12-06, version 4.3* There’s a lot of apps that track device batteries. This one works great. Only 4 stars because there are some other features on similar apps ### 5/5 — Does what I needed *2025-07-25, version 4.1* Just what I needed showing all devices on all my devices ### 1/5 — Not recommend *2025-07-22, version 4.1* Not showing AirPods’s battery and showing iPad’s battery as phone icon and its even not a real time battery percentage ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Does not show BT devices on iPhone. Mac only *2026-05-28, version 4.4.2* This was a waste of money. There isn't a free trial. The screenshots make it look like it works on your iPhone. Upon installation I find the note that you cannot add BT devices on iOS due to Apple restrictions. The Apple battery widget doesn't show all of my devices which is why I stupidly bought this app. It should have a big disclaimer that you CANNOT add BT devices on iOS. This is only possible on your Mac. ### 1/5 — Pas génial *2026-05-09* Ca marche pas très bien, c’est régulièrement en retard avec le niveau des devices, parfois cela ne se connecte même pas à eux. Belle promesse mais résultat pas à la hauteur. Je regrette mon achat. ### 1/5 — Schlechter Dienst *2026-04-26* Über die „Refresh“-Funktion möchte man meinen, dass die aktuellen Akku-Stände der eingebundenen Geräte anzeigt werden. Funktioniert leider nicht. Daher leider nutzlos… ### 1/5 — Não funciona *2026-03-15* Não vale nem se fosse 1.99 $ ### 1/5 — Precisa Melhorar *2025-11-07* 1 - A bateria não mostra corretamente, mostra uma porcentagem aproximada! 2 - não mostra a Apple Pencil (pro no meu caso) 3 - no Apple Watch não funcionou corretamente. Mesmo colocando Device 1 - Device 2 - device 3, em todos mostra o mesmo dispositivo. 4 - pra terem uma ideia, tirei meu iPad do carregador as 7 da manhã, já são 8:40, e ele ainda mostra no meu iPhone que o iPad Pro está na tomada carregando! Reinicie, já atualizei pro iOS 26, mas nada resolveu. Menos uma estrela por cada ponto desse. Preferia não ter comprado. Se esses postos forem corrigidos, faço questão de voltar aqui e pontuar as 5 estrelas! ### 1/5 — Precisa Melhorar *2025-09-16, version 4.2.1* 1 - A bateria não mostra corretamente, mostra uma porcentagem aproximada! 2 - não mostra a Apple Pencil (pro no meu caso) 3 - no Apple Watch não funcionou corretamente. Mesmo colocando Device 1 - Device 2 - device 3, em todos mostra o mesmo dispositivo. Reinicie, já atualizei pro iOS 26, mas nada resolveu. Menos uma estrela por cada ponto desse. Preferia não ter comprado. Se esses postos forem corrigidos, faço questão de voltar aqui e pontuar as 5 estrelas! ### 1/5 — App not working *2025-09-15, version 4.2* This app is grap, doesnt show the real battery. Do not buy ### 1/5 — App *2025-09-13, version 4.2* not working anymore ### 1/5 — Delay! *2025-09-03* Tem muito delay o app, não recomendo a compra, pretendo fazer o reembolso se possível. **Developer response:** To get the latest battery levels, your devices need to refresh in the background. This causes a short delay, but should still give you a good understanding of your batteries. Widgets can refresh every 15 minutes, but Apple controls the timing—not PowerToYou. It also depends on your iPhone’s battery level, temperature, and overall system activity. For the most frequent updates, add the PowerToYou widget to your Home or Lock Screen. This applies on watchOS too; you’ll need the PowerToYou complication on your currently active Watch face. On Mac, you just need PowerToYou running in the Menu Bar and it will refresh in 30 minute intervals. This may differ when the computer is asleep. Do note that battery levels will be rounded to the nearest 5% on iOS and watchOS as Apple does not let apps access the exact percentage. Because of these limits, your battery levels might be slightly different, but it’ll still give you a reliable picture of your battery status. Please let me know if you have any questions. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2025-08-31, version 4.1.1* It shows my iPhone battery. I already knew that. Pressing the + to add devices does nothing. No apple watch, no Beats Studio Pros, no keyboard nothing. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome app :3 *2026-04-14, version 4.4.2* It works really cool, only problem I have that for some reason my AirPods won’t connect to my Mac I tried everything, but still couldn’t. Overall the app worth the money <3 ### 5/5 — Hervorragend *2026-01-18* Sehr gute App, die alle Akkustände im Apple-Account anzeigt - nur leider immer etwas zeitverzögert um jeweils ca. 15 Min. bzw. wenn ein Gerät aus ist, seit es das letzte Mal online war. Aber das geht ja nicht anders, da die Geräte sich ja online synchronisieren müssen. ### 5/5 — Very helpful and useful *2026-01-17, version 4.4* I'm very happy with this handy, little app. Thank you 🙂🙏👍🍻 ### 5/5 — Très bon achat ! *2025-11-27* App universelle iOS, macOS, WatchOS. Fonctionne parfaitement sur tous les devices. Très simple d’utilisation. Je peux désormais voir le niveau de batterie de mon iPhone et de ma Watch sur mon Mac et inversement. Aussi compatible avec les périphériques bluetooth non Apple. * Pensez à ajouter le widget sur iOS, macOS et WatchOS pour avoir le refresh auto toutes les 15min. ### 5/5 — Tried them All *2025-10-17, version 4.3* Best if u have multiple devices and keep batteries healthy also from your Apple Watch. Developer very responsive ! ### 5/5 — Fonctionne parfaitement *2025-09-27* Depuis longtemps je cherchais une application pour afficher la batterie de mon Mac et pouvoir au clic afficher le niveau de batterie des autres appareils tels que les AirPods ou autre ### 5/5 — Great app (widget) and great support *2025-09-25, version 4.2.1* With so many battery operated devices, keeping them charged when you need them is a pain. This app (widget) lets you do just that. It can be confusing to setup but support was very helpful with instructions. It cannot be used like a regular app. Install the app from the App Store. Remove it from the desktop only. DO NOT DELETE IT! Activate the screen to add widgets. Choose it from the widget list and customize for your needs. The bad reviews obviously did not take the time to figure out how to use the app. The latest version is even better the previous Hope this helps. Great app ### 5/5 — Loving the Update *2025-09-16, version 4.2.1* I love how quickly you updated this app to iOS 26, it looks great! ### 5/5 — Tolle App *2025-09-13* Einfache Einrichtung sehr zuverlässige Anzeige **Developer response:** Danke für deine unterstützung! Ich freue mich, dass dir powerToYou gefällt. ### 5/5 — Charging at a glance *2025-09-01, version 4.1.1* Very satsified with the menu bar and widget on my laptop, great product! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
