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. ### 2/5 — Sometimes works *2022-06-30, version 2.2* Alarm doesn’t always work when screen is locked and it is running in the foreground. Other times it works just fine.🤷‍♂️ ### 3/5 — Cannot run in background *2022-01-01, version 2.2* It is a nice app and does work but cannot work when run in the background. ### 3/5 — App charger *2021-12-17, version 2.2* Very well charger seemingly it charge faster than fast factory charger’s but off record i wonder how come google is in apple App Store. When i reviewed it said approved by apple now when I looked at review it said no details reviewed to apple what gives ### 3/5 — 50/50 *2021-11-08, version 2.2* Works about 50% of the time. Very often the charge alarm turns off completely or adjusts the alarm to 100%. It would be nice if the alarm would default to be automatically on when the app is running and the default alarm should be set at 80 or 85% when the alarm rings. It would also be nice to add a minimum alarm. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t really do the whole job *2021-10-27, version 2.2* The problem with this app is that you have to keep it Active on the screen for it to work. If you accidentally open something else on your iPhone and forget to move back to the screen for this app, your phone will keep on charging until you look down and realize it has gone all the way up to 100%. That used to drive me crazy. It is very very easy to set up automation via a shortcut on the iPhone which will monitor the charge level at all times when you plug the phone in. It can be set to provide an alarm at whatever charge level you want. You don’t have to keep it open on the screen, unlike this one. And doing it is free. ### 4/5 — Good *2021-09-23, version 2.2* Good ### 5/5 — Works Great *2021-04-29, version 2.2* Very happy with the app ### 1/5 — Estupidez *2021-04-06, version 2.2* Como se le ocurre que la única manera en que funcione la alarma es con la pantalla encendida? empeora la salud de la batería ya que la fuerza más al cargar, una total ignorancia y aun así tiene versión paga “paga para que te dañen la batería “ ### 1/5 — Does not work!! *2021-01-15, version 2.2* Keeps on alerting me that the alarm will NOT work if app is in the background. Suggested that I lock my phone WHILE the app is active. I did that but i still got alerted by the same message. Useless! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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! ### 1/5 — Pointless *2021-12-31, version 2.2* Only works if iPad is awake and this app is on top. You can’t use the device for anything else, and with the screen on, it slows charging to a crawl. ### 1/5 — Useless! *2021-12-23, version 2.2* Doesn't work even if you leave it in the foreground. ### 1/5 — 鳴らなくなった *2021-07-18, version 2.2* 3日前までは鳴っていましたが、 今日は鳴りませんでした。 駄目ですね。 他にいいアプリ探します。 ### 1/5 — Doesn’t do the basic thing because of greed *2021-05-06, version 2.2* I’ve had it with this app. Half the time the alarm won’t even activate because of the prompt to upgrade to the paid version. Everytime I return to my device, I see the prompt for upgrade puts the phone to sleep. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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%. ### 5/5 — Nice *2024-10-03, version 2.2* Nice battery alarm. Still using until now.😘 ### 5/5 — Great app! *2022-08-24, version 2.2* I’m very happy with this app! I especially like the “calm bells” option for the alarm, very relaxing. ### 5/5 — The review you bugged me for! *2022-08-22, version 2.2* Doesn’t work reliably, and one gets the yell bugged out of them to purchase. No way I will pay my hard earned money for this! ### 5/5 — Alarm doesn’t sound when done *2022-08-20, version 2.2* It was nice when I first tried it now the alarm sound does not go off when fully charged ### 5/5 — Basic Charge Alarm *2022-06-07, version 2.2* Brilliant! How about making the basic alarm sound into one that uses as much power as possible- to slow or stop the charging when the upper target had been reached. PedroThePhisherman ### 5/5 — Mr *2022-05-25, version 2.2* Đón giản mà hay, một app đáng cho ai cần chế độ báo pun sạc đầy cho điện thoại mình ### 5/5 — Test use *2022-01-27, version 2.2* It work .
