iPhone 4 on 4.3.3. Battery life seems to be sub-par, so I was hoping to be able to monitor for a little while and see what kind of capacity I have. What's the best app out there? I'm at 91% with 54min of usage -- 2 hours, 23 min of standby. What do you guys think? Normal?

For the record, this was the best app, for both iPAD/iPhone, but it was removed from Apple-Store:

What exactly does he mean by "missing data"?

Also, please note when he says: "Apple removed this part of raw data from iOS 10" (when someone asked: "please reintegrate battery temperature in your app").

The app mentioned in post #3 has returned:
https://itunes.apple.com/app/id1080930585

After 6-7 months of use my IPP 9.7 (256 GB, wifi+cel) model shows 6% of degradation. The other IPP 9.7 (128 GB wifi only) shows 4%, but it was used far less. The first device is used on a daily basis.

Overall both devices show good health, lasting as expected.

Seems like the accuracy of iOS apps like that has been somewhat questionable, as of iOS 10 at least.

Unfortunately, that app is no longer as accurate as it use to be pre-iOS 10. It is not 'estimating' in order to give you capacity readout. If you compared to Coconut battery via Mac, you will see that Battery Life isn't working as it use to. Nothing the developer can do.
