Your iPhone battery, always at a glance from your Apple Watch. Stop guessing your phone's battery level or fishing it out of your pocket. Unplugged puts clear, reliable battery info right on your wrist, so you can see if you'll make it through a meeting, a workout, or your commute without ever touching your iPhone. Key Benefits Watch Complications (12+ Styles) Turn any watch face into a battery dashboard. Start with 4 free complications and unlock 12+ with Premium. Choose tiny indicators for formal settings, larger readouts for travel, or detailed views showing battery, charging state, and more. Smart Battery Notifications Never get surprised by a dying phone. Set custom thresholds and get alerts when your charge runs low or tops up. Free users receive checks every 2 hours, while Premium tightens that to roughly every 20 minutes. Choose active hours so low-battery pings never wake you at night. Charging Animations (Premium) Five full-screen charging styles with customizable colors, including Horizon: your battery level is a sun rising over water, and specks of light drift into it while you charge. Every style adapts to larger and foldable displays instead of simply stretching. Siri, Control Center & Automations Ask Siri for your battery level, forecast, or Watch battery. Add or remove alerts by voice. Pause all alerts, start a charging session, or open the animation straight from Control Center. On iOS 27, add one shortcut and plugging in starts the Live Activity and charging animation on their own. Battery History (Premium) See how your battery really behaves. View charts for the last 12 hours up to 7 days and scrub through them to read any moment. Spot patterns like heavy drain during your commute or slow overnight trickle. Battery Forecast (Premium) Know how long your battery will last based on your actual habits, not guesswork. On-device machine learning studies your usage and estimates when you'll hit low battery. If today's drain is higher than normal, you'll see it early. Live Activities (Premium) Watch your battery change in real time on your Lock Screen and Apple Watch Smart Stack. Thermal State Monitoring (Premium) See when your iPhone is running hot, what features may be impacted, and get practical suggestions, like pausing intensive tasks or moving out of direct sun. Better thermal management means better battery health. Customizable Dashboard (Premium) Build your own battery control center. See your iPhone and Apple Watch batteries side by side, and arrange cards for thermal state, charging status, and more. A Sync Status card shows exactly when your Watch last got an update. Built for Everyone Accessibility is built in, not bolted on. Fully optimized for VoiceOver and Dynamic Type on iPhone and Apple Watch, so battery info works for everyone. Free vs Premium Free: - 4 watch complications - Basic notifications (every 2 hours) - iPhone battery monitoring - Siri battery checks, voice alerts and the Battery Alerts control Premium: - All 12+ watch complications - Smart notifications (every 20 minutes) - Live Activities and 5 Charging Animations - Charging automations - Battery History & Forecast - Thermal State monitoring - Customizable Dashboard More Than a Widget Unplugged doubles as a battery tracker, charge reminder, and percentage indicator: clear stats at a glance, a complication for every watch face, and alerts that arrive before you hit low.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Battery HD+ at none against Unplugged's 11. Battery HD+ also leads on review sentiment (74% vs 48%) and ratings volume (2.7K vs 116). Unplugged's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Unplugged sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Battery HD+ asks for nothing beyond the download.
Unplugged holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Battery HD+ has 2.7K ratings behind it against 116, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of Battery HD+'s written reviews are positive against 48% of Unplugged's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Battery HD+ ships an update every 2 months, Unplugged fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
