Fantastic, well-designed app! – Battery⁺ Review

The developer most certainly deserves a standing ovation for this app. It performs such a simple function, yes (allow you to monitor your iPhone battery status from a complication/glance on your Apple Watch); but it does so extremly reliably and well. Here a few reasons why I love this app so much: • Allows me to choose from a few different looks/skins for the complication • iPhone companion app is well-laid out and easy to understand. Prompts for enabling notifications are explained well. • Allows me to select the frequency with which the complication receives updates. • If I set the update frequency to "Every 15 minutes", it ACTUALLY UPDATES EVERY 15 MINUTES! Users of Apple Watch know that a huge sore spot with complications is that they do not usually update very frequently, which really limits functionality. Supposedly, this is because Apple imposes some kind of data transfer limit on updates sent to a complication in a given time period, to help conserve battery life on the Apple Watch. And yet, somehow, this app is actually able to deliver updates on a user-selected frequency. Kudos to the dev for this kind of attention to detail and optimization. If you need a battery monitor, this app is money well-spent!
