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

People keep talking about updating it through the App Store on the watch, I've tried this many times but cannot seem to find the app. I've searched "BatteryGraph" "BatteryGrapher" and just "Battery" and looked through the listings but couldn't find it. Is there some magical key term I'm missing?

I sent him a private message asking him if he is OK...

I was wondering that as well since he seems to have abandoned this thread......scary.
 
The OP logged in yesterday morning. That was the first time since 3/9. With all that is happening right now, I am going to give him more time to reply to the thread, as well as updating the app. Who knows what is happening in his life at this time. What ever happens, he tried to make a good app for $2.00 and I give him credit for that much.

Yep.
 
Hey guys, sorry that i have been gone for so long. Unfortunately yes, a lot of things have been going on recently which has prevented me from working on the app. I hope you all understand.

I have created a new update 2 days ago, which adds 24h time, and also fixes the complication not updating bug. Sorry that some of you have been having that issue, I have been trying to replicate it but I cant get my watch's complication to not update (A classic "its working on my machine" issue haha). Please let me know if this update does not fix the bug. The update is in review and should be out in a few days (or whenever apple approves it).

I have also been working on an iPhone/iPad app, which is another reason why there hasnt been an update in a while (sorry). It wont be out for a while, but once it is released, everyone who bought the watch app will get the iphone/ipad app for free.

Thanks for your understanding
- Josh

After last night update, i had to reset the watch because the battery was terrible ... 5% for 30 min of doing nothing
After that i set up the watch as new and can't install the Graphs battery app , actually any app ...
Does all the apps need to be updated so to be working with 6.2 ?

Thanks for the help
 
Has anyone seen a recent app update? It has been a week since the update was submitted to Apple. I have gotten updates for most of my other app every day. Was curious since I haven’t seen anything show up.
 
Mhm ... the 24 hrs do not apply for the "charge before ... time". Still the AM / PM for the minority not being able to use proper indication and metric systems ... ;-)

I even do not see, where to change that. There are no settings as mentioned in the update announcement of the Appstore.
 
Took me several attempts to update ON THE WATCH. With the update, there is a "additional settings" button in the app.
 
Hey Josh,

No worries with the less time available for working on the app, I understand. Thank you for implementing the 24 hours notation! As Diba mentioned, it is not applied to the text 'charging before'.

However, the 24 hours notation on the x-axis of the graph inside the app, seems to have broken the scrolling functionality. In stead of the digital crown can be used for scrolling left to right in the AM/PM setting, the 24 hour setting shows a non-function small scroll bar in the upper right corner. This problem can be fixed and reproduced by changing the setting AM/PM to 24 hours and back.

Looking forward to the next update!

Stay well

edit: A restart of the watch did the trick! No problems anymore.

Scrolling with the crown is working on my AW as before, no issues even with the 24hrs option.
 
Looking forward to the iPhone app! At least give those of us an option to pay the $2 if we want to! I'm all for supporting devs like yourself. Thanks for the update to the watch app - reinstalled. :D

Apps like this really help me. I'm one of those people who starts sweating when my battery % goes from 100% to 99% and I feel the need to plug in. However knowing I have x hours left doesn't produce that same feeling. Love it!
 
Thank you for the app update!! It’s been so much more enjoyable to use, no more missing data makes it so much more reliable. I can’t wait for the iPhone app if it ever comes! :)

Thanks for the support everyone!

Here is a sneak peek of the iPhone/iPad app. Still cant give any promises about a release date yet, but it should be within a few weeks.

Question, will it be an update to the existing app to add a function to it, or will it be a separate purchase?

EDIT: I read your previous reply and realised it would be included in the app we already bought. Sorry!

Just an input from daily use: The recent version appears to be a bit crash prone. Particularly the not always working scrolling function (turning the crown) made my watch crash twice today.

Anyway: a great app 🌼

One more thing: I own two watches, that I switch from time to time. So one phone, one app on the phone and two watches with the app running. Does the one app on the phone recongize, that there are two watches with different historical data?

Been using for a month and built up to ‘very good‘ accuarcy and liking the app. Today I noticed the option to “delete Historical data”. To me this conveys data which is no longer being used so I deleted it. MISTAKE......This actually resets ALL data and I am now right back at the start. No data, very bad accuracy. I would not have done it if the option had been called “Reset data”. My mistake. :confused:

The only other problem is patches of a few hours of missing data. I have the app in the Dock and as a complication.

You don’t need the app in both places. That is redundant.

Yes I know, but surely harmless. I did it like that because, at the start, while it was inaccurate I wasnt sure I wanted it as a complication so kept it in Dock. Later used as complication but didnt remove form the Dock.
