@pacorob do you know if any of them on the Apple Watch auto refresh if the app is open already on the apple watch ?

That is annoying where I have to close the app then start it again on the Apple Watch because it has old info from a previous charge of devices.

Maybe this is the nature of the Apple Watch and there is no way to prevent this :( Hopefully not.

Thanks these are some really interesting apps!

Now some research time to see which one of them is best!
Sure glad I could help. The app 'Charged?' has also support for Wifi network (other iCloud accounts) so that is a big plus for that one. Second best spec wise is Cloud Battery that also supports other bluetooth (as does Charged?) devices.

I'm only a user of iPads and iPhones so not sure how stable the Mac versions are if available. I've checked the 4 apps above which are the best options out there but only 3 out of them offer Mac support (Charged?, Cloud Battery, PowerToYou)

Thanks. Tried all of them could not get any of them to work :( Sucks.

I even restarted my devices.

This was on my a iPad 8th generation.

That is very strange… Charged? Successfully reports battery states on all my devices including my wife’s phone, iPad and when my grandkids visit and join my network I get to keep tabs on their devices as well.

One stupid question does the same app have to be on all devices for it to work ?
