Features

Read full description

A widget that lets you check your battery level as a large number on your Lock Screen. In situations where Apple’s built-in battery widget makes it difficult to see the remaining charge as a detailed number, this app lets you check it at a glance as a percentage. It’s also useful on Always-On Lock Screens. Battery status updates every few minutes or in 5% increments to conserve battery power. Widgets aren’t added simply by installing the app. To add this widget, see Apple’s “How to add and edit widgets on your iPhone” and configure it there.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Battery Level at 4.7 against Battery percentage (%) widget's 3.3. Battery Level also leads on ratings volume (1K vs 8) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). Battery percentage (%) widget's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 months vs every 15 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
