### 1/5 — Doesn't work on an iPhone

*2021-10-07, version 1.2.1*

hopeless

### 1/5 — Was good. Not anymore.

*2021-05-12, version 1.2.1*

UPDATE (12 May 2021):

Now completely ineffective using both WiFi and bluetooth. Constantly nags you to turn bluetooth on, even when it's already on and even though I've turned off notifications in app and in Settings. Paid the 99p for the widget (before the app became non-functional) and that doesn't update on any device and the text is minuscule with no way to change it... so basically, it's useless. 

Only way to stop the pop-ups (every time I go near my phone) is to delete the app so that is what I'll be doing. There's better out there.

15 Dec 2020:
Incredibly handy app that works flawlessly (unlike certain competitors). Just leave the app running in the background (or it's a neat menu bar tool on MacOS) and you're able to check the battery level of all your devices from any one device. I don't leave my Bluetooth on if I'm not specifically using it. However, Charged also works with an internet connection. No problem syncing between iPhone/iPad/MacBook. And it's ACCURATE! And updates regularly. And it's FREE. I really can't fault it. Charged does what it says and does so simply and extremely well. They don't ask you to create an account either so you just open the app and away you go. I couldn't believe there weren't more glowing reviews so had to right this wrong.

### 5/5 — So useful!

*2021-03-09, version 1.2.1*

A very simple and very useful idea. I’m surprised it is not a standard part of iOS! Only thing that would make this better is a widget.

Update:
The addition of a widget is brilliant. Thank you. 

The only other suggestion I have for making this app even better is a way to specify the text size, etc. 

It’s a bit small for my worsening eyesight.

### 1/5 — STILL NOT FIXED!!

*2021-03-07, version 1.2.1*

The App was updated today to let us know the developer had fixed the restore purchase bug.... However, they STILL have not fixed the glaring main issue (see item one below).

1. Having paid to remove the adds and support the developer; if you then try to load a widget on the Home Screen, it repeatedly tells you in order to use the widget you have to pay to remove adds!

2. When you launch the app the list of devices changes three times.... As such you have to wait several seconds for it to settle and to see the list.

3. All links to the developer do not work. As such this is the only method of contacting.

### 4/5 — Almost perfect

*2021-02-24, version 1.0.1*

I just need a widget and battery notifications like the other review says but I’ve been looking for something like this for years and it’s amazing but I just need those improvements to give it 5 stars

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2019-03-07*

Great app.  Too bad Apple is too dumb to implement this in iOS. 

If this had push notifications that let me know when one of my devices is 100% or almost dead, I would totally pay for it.

### 3/5 — Close to fantastic

*2017-11-04, version 1.0.1*

Good app. Useful. Could do with the following enhancements

- include the device you are using in the list of battery levels.
- Add a battery widget so you can easily see all your battery levels at a glance.
- Selectable level for alerts / notifications - Fully charged, 75% , 50% 25% etc
Apple Watch app, showing all charges.

Unable to contact developer

### 5/5 — ペンシルとウォッチが見れれば完璧

*2017-09-22, version 1.0.1*

とても便利。他のバッテリー残量が一ヶ所でわかるのは素晴らしいです。Apple WatchとApple Pencilも表示出来たらいいのにな。

### 5/5 — Fantastic!!!

*2017-07-15*

This is the only app of it's kind that will actually work.  I have bought several other apps that were supposed to track all my devices through the cloud etc and they never are even close to accurate.  This app is amazingly current and correct with updating of all my devices!!  Love it❤️❤️❤️
