I am one more who purchased this immediately. Very nice work. I am curious though why I am unable to add it as a Complication in the Sub-dial Top position on the Infograph watch face. It is the only placement area that is unavailable on my Series 4 running watchOS 6.1.3.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but 80-90% of my data keeps on being yellow/missing! Therefore the accuracy keeps on switching between 'bad' and 'good'. I have both put Battery Grapher as complication on my primary watch face and set the app as favourite in the dock on the iOS watch app.
Last few days I also noticed the complication no longer resets when the day is over?
between this and my previous post I may just give up on this app for now, seems like a great idea, but its just not working out for me.
Thanks for the effort and no regrets on paying for the app/supporting smaller developers.
If you make any updates to the app (or my two issues) could you please post them in this thread?

My experience as well. I have no regrets on paying for this app and hope the developer keeps updating it!
For me - once I did an exercise and let the battery drain to <40% the accuracy went to good for me. Not sure if you'll have the same experience.
I too started having issues with the complication not resetting when I'd charge it or various things like that.
Having seen what it takes to keep these apps up - I applaud the developer and hope more people attempt stuff like this.
I still hold to my original post earlier in this thread --- if the dev decides to do an app like this for the iPhone, they've got my $ - I'll buy it.
yeah, I have done workouts heck I have just about done full drains from such hard use and it still remains at very bad. However to me, it seems pretty acurate...the deal killer for me was the complication not resetting, which I can fix this by toggeling percent on then going back to "hours until 0"
Well my battery life has gone to crap since the latest update
So I’m not the only one. I noticed it too around the time I updated. Wasn’t exactly sure where it was coming from tho so didn’t want to post here in case I was wrong. Losing between 7% and 8% per hour on average. Sometimes even worse.
For some reason, the battery percentage stopped changing. Even after refreshing and restarting the watch, the percentage would not change on its own.
Edit: I have been using this app since day one.
I can get the percent to change like the above method but it still will not update. I do not have a battery drain issue like others posted. My battery status shows okay. I have this issue on my SBTi5 but my S3Nike is working okay.

I am among those who experienced this.
From a full charge around 9 P.M. one evening until close to noon the following day my Series 4 was completely dead. This is extremely unusual behavior particularly when the battery drain occurred, for the most part, during the lowest use time. I uninstalled Battery Grapher to confirm whether or not some other App might have been draining the battery. So far battery use has returned to (for me) normal use/drain for the past two days which makes me conclude that the latest version of Battery Grapher was the culprit.
I plan to reinstall it momentarily to see if battery drain occurs again.
It’s a great idea for an app and I did like the first version but having an app graph a battery that’s being unusually depleted by the same app kind of defeats the purpose. Now that I uninstalled it, I have to go back and keep checking to see if the app has been updated.
Came here to post similar experiences as the people above, I guess.
Downloaded it two days ago, started out fine, but I noticed that as soon as I put it on a charger the % remained stuck even though my watch charged back up to 100% and now the % also doesn't seem to be accurate in comparison to the internal %.
Great idea, hopefully this can be fixed, until then I will have to unfortunately uninstall.

I bought this app within a couple of hours of it being posted. I am using and enjoying it, Series 4, even though I have to toggle my complications to get a true reading after charging each day. I have had no battery draining issues. Thanks for the app and the effort that went into it. I look forward to future updates.
that was the deal killer for me... I was ok doing this for a few days, but finally got sick of toggling every single day.
Sorry developer, it was a nice idea, but your lack of silence and support in this forum is making me wonder if you were a bit over your head.
The developer lives in Hong Kong so we can not predicate what is going on especially with the Coronavirus, so have a little compassion. Everybody’s lives have changed because of this.
