As for improvements, please make it possible to choose the visibility of specific items. For example, I don't need the storage, so I want to hide it. Also, I would like it to support live activities. ### 4/5 — Simple and clean, though with a Storage bug *2024-03-14* It works as described, but Storage shows 100% full even though I have 700GB free. 🤔 For reference, I have an iPhone 15 Pro Max with 1TB **Developer response:** iPulse provides an alternate view of your storage: the storage display you’re used to seeing in Settings > General > Storage does not include cached data used by iCloud, iMessage, Camera, and other apps. iPulse shows you how much actual space is currently being used on the device and will likely be higher than what you are used to seeing. Many people have asked about the discrepancy because they have no idea why it would be different. Neither did we at first! We chose this approach because knowing the true status can be important: reclaiming space can be a bottleneck for all kinds of things. If you want to reclaim space in caches manually, you try some of these things: • If you have an iPhone with 4k 30 ProRes, the Free Resources button in the Camera app can reclaim a large amount of space. • In the Files app, you can use "Remove Download" on large files to have them offloaded from the device (they will remain in iCloud if you need them again). ### 5/5 — ありそうでなかったアプリ *2024-11-23* PiPを利用してCPU使用率などを確認できるアプリです。 昨今は高画質なゲームが増え、端末単位で最適化されず任意の画質設定をするアプリが多くなりましたが、本アプリを利用する事で用途に合わせて調整しやすくなります。 普段利用するアプリでバッテリー持ちや発熱が気になる方は、本アプリを見ながら調整してみるのは如何でしょうか。 ### 5/5 — A peek inside the "black box" iPad *2024-04-07* Finally, a simple and elegant app to monitor what's happening in my iPad when it gets warm, or the internet seems slow, or just to reassure me everything is working right. ### 5/5 — Simply perfect. *2024-03-19* Or perfectly simple? Both. ### 5/5 — Works as advertised *2024-03-16* Only real suggestion I have is tweaking the storage indicator. Possibly color coding the cache files versus app files and documents? Or the internal and external storage as you call it? I read your feedback in another review about freeing up the cache storage. I have an iPhone 13 Pro, I don’t see the freeing of resources in my camera app. Storage is definitely a mystery with iOS. The model Settings values always seem to lag what is really going on. Anything you can provide is helpful. Otherwise the memory and core tracking provides a good insight on how these apps consume resources. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Works Exactly As Advertised, Excellent Design *2024-03-15* While not necessarily an app I’ll use every day, it is something that come in handy for troubleshooting or testing. The idea to pipe the display through a picture-in-picture video is clever and I appreciate the little design touches. I can’t wait to see how this app will improve over time! ### 5/5 — Inspired implementation *2024-03-14* Using picture-in-picture for the floating gauge box is inspired, and I had to reward it. I would love to see more utility apps adopt this method. Usage has been great. I figured out why this one game bogs down; it maxes out the efficiency cores, no pick up by the perf cores. I confirmed Handoff is indeed handing off audio streaming activity to my AirPlay 2 receiver. Very useful tool to have at the ready. ### 5/5 — Works *2024-03-14* No ads or other crapware --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
