### 5/5 — The charge alarm is the best one

*2026-08-04, version 2.2*

Is a good app but my Real Hardware Mode charge 200% it lock

### 5/5 — Charged

*2025-11-10, version 2.2*

The battery is yet 100% when the alarm goes off.  It’s only 85%.

### 1/5 — Sem a versão Pro no Brasil

*2025-07-08, version 2.2*

Por que não fazem a versão Pro para o Brasil? Acham que não podemos comprar? Já comprei o iPhone então também posso comprar apps da Apple. Considerem isso.

### 1/5 — I don’t like it

*2025-01-17, version 2.2*

They don’t allow to get sounds without upgrading.

### 5/5 — Nice

*2024-10-03, version 2.2*

Nice battery alarm. Still using until now.😘

### 4/5 — Working ok so far

*2023-08-10, version 2.2*

I’ve had a problem with another battery alarm app that can run in the background, but every few days it started ignoring the 80% limit and charged the battery fully every time. I deleted and reinstalled it twice, so three times and you’re out. 

This one works fine so far, though I’m unclear why it has to run in the foreground. I’m disappointed however that the pro edition isn’t available in my neck of the woods. Does that mean no one in the US can get the extra alarms etc? I hope that will change. I’ll write the dev and see what gives.

### 1/5 — BRUH IT SAYS “IT WILL NOT WORK IF BACKROUND LIME WHAT JELLYBEAN MR.CLEAN IGOTTTAPEE WILL DO THAT!?

*2023-06-28, version 2.2*

Also thanks

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2023-03-07, version 2.2*

My Iphone 6 is already 100% charged and did not receive any notification even if I remained this app open. 😔

### 1/5 — Useless

*2022-12-30, version 2.2*

Garbage - I wanted something running in the background to notify me when my battery is near death. Guess what, this app only runs in the foreground 🙄

### 1/5 — Just Make an iPhone Automation instead

*2022-09-08, version 2.2*

The Paid app gets worse reviews on not working in the Background.  You can make an Automation on you iPhone IOS 12 and up that when you plug in a charger it set an IF battery is greater than 80 (or what ever you want) set the timer for 1 Second so it plays almost right after it gets to your cut off.   If you want to get fancy add a Set Volume too!
