Apps I Created An App That Graphs Battery Levels & Makes Smart Predictions! Perfect For All Of Us Who Care About Battery Life :)

Does this app show you the apps that are effecting battery life the most? (similar to the iphone app)

Unfortunately Apple doesnt allow apps to see that kind of data. It is a bit annoying, but I understand why apple doesnt give developers access to see what apps people are using, and how much they use those apps. That seems like it would be a huge privacy issue.

The only way we might be able to see that data is if apple implements it themselves (like on the iPhone)

I’m still not understanding the max gauge.

Oh yeah sorry, the max gauge is only for the infograph watch face complications where there is a little gauge underneath the text. It just sets what the max hour on the gauge is. If you look at the first post I made on this thread, you can see the complications with the gauge on them.
 
Interesting.
If I have the complication on a face, does that face have to be the active face to keep the app alive??
 
I just downloaded the app. Looks great and really useful!
Are you considering adding the iPhone battery too?

thanks for the explanation, I will probably give it a try nonetheless :)
 
Great app! A perfect example of a product of which I didn't knew I needed it. Two questions and one request though 😊

1) Is 'turning off the device' included in accuracy algorithm? (I sometimes turn the watch off for the night to get to every other night charging) 2) Does non-predictable sport activities (irregular in time and duration) negatively influence the accuracy? 3) I would like to see 24h time format

Another thing, the intuitive use of the complication and setting 'Gauge max hours' is not optimal. The default setting of 6 (or 12?) hours make it probable people start with a full gauge. I wondered what I was looking at with the red to green. Only setting the 'Gauge max hours' higher than the remaining battery hours made it clear the transparency/brightness is the actual gauge. The gauge could also be made adaptive always with a 'Gauge max hours' higher than the remaining battery hours with a user defined minimum, such as the 'Gauge max hours' should never be lower than 'X'.

Keep up the good work!
 
Can somebody please provide a picture of what the complications look like on a device S3 or older? I use the Modular watch face on my S2 and am wondering what it would look like....thanks!!
 
When you set a notification about 20% of the remaining battery, a notification comes when in fact 15%.

... if you need a German translation, just rush me the text.
I would appreciate that additional language 😎

Where it says “Charge Before xx:xx AM/PM Day”...can the am/pm and the day be in a bigger font, I can barely make them out in certain comditions.

plus...it would be much more useful if the “charge before” time reflected the time when the watch was forecast to hit a configurable %, and not 0%.

plus...is it possible to maybe change the colour of the green bars differently if an activity was recorded during that particular hour?? (I assume high drain through time spent activity tracking is kind of ignored in the longer term projections??).
 
What does it mean when the bars are sometimes coloured orange?? I see this sometimes when in use and draining and also when charging?

Also what is the more transprent shade of green bar that sometimes blocks to 100% behind the bars that are indicating battery life??

Also...is there a bug...I see periods where the charge is showing as increasing hour in hour for about 12 hrs BUT I never leave the watch on charge for more than about 45mins max 🤷‍♂️
 
One quick question is when does the accuracy go to good? Mine has gone from very bad to bad after 5 days, but still not to good?
