Fantastic for keeping the phone charged

I leave my phone in the sun for a few minutes each morning with the Solar Cell app running… never need to worry about charging again!

Excellent app!

This app works flawlessly. I haven’t had to charge my iPhone for the last 47 days. Just leave your phone in the sun for 1/2 hour with Solar Cell running, and you’re good to go all day!
