Initially I gave this app a pretty negative review. I really liked the free version but upgraded to the paid version to remove ads and get a few extra features. But for some reason, initially, my Wi-Fi would randomly turn on while running the paid version. That made me write an initial irate review. However, I uninstalled and reinstalled the app and since doing so, my device has behaved very well and the app has functioned well. Besides getting a battery gauge widge, a % charge indicator up in the top status area,, and information in notifications, I like the app for reading my battery temperature to let me know when my phone is getting too hot. The ready access to system toggles (Wi-Fi, BT, screen brightness, cellular data, syncing, etc.) and turning them all off at once with the Power-Saving Mode button is nice, too. Wish there were a way to update battery temperature on demand faster. Going along with the power-sipping mode of the app, it sometimes takes a while for the temperature reading to update.

I have looked at and/or tried probably 30 battery app/widgets and this one is the best by far IMHO. I find the multi-colored meter type display the easiest to read and understand at a quick glance (by FAR) of any of the other Aps and love that multiple sizes are available from small to large. My only disappointment is that the graph is too small a time range. It would be much more useful to view a longer time span, especially into the future so you can better see when you may be reaching a low battery situation. In that regard a text label on the graph indicating, for instance... "28hrs-15min until low battery situation" would be a big plus. Please consider doing this in a future update! When that happens I will give 5-stars and purchase the pro version too. UPDATE I discovered that this feature is ALREADY there and even better. You can pinch zoom the scale to whatever you want. I have thus given this 5-stars and purchased the Pro version to compensate the author for a very good App.

Nice looking widget! Too bad it doesn't show the correct battery percentage! Shows 33% all the time. And I used all the widgets available. Tried writing to author as mentioned and they would fix it, but none of the websites or faq sites work. So, I have no choice but to give it 1 star! If they fix it, I'll try again since it is a very nice looking bunch of widgets and compliment my home page!

Thanks for your feedback. If the app is not updating the widget then there is most likely a problem with battery optimization features implemented in your phone. Please visit https://dontkillmyapp.com and update your phone settings. Also feel free to contact me if you have more questions.
