Battery Grapher 4+

I like the developer's interest and enthusiasm. This app is nice and displays useful info about my watch charge. For a first release version it works very well.

Some room for improvement. I'd like to see the accuracy improve quicker. It went from wildly inaccurate to somewhat close within a few days of use. The app actually tells you how accurate its predictions are. Until the hone in on your usage I'm afraid they aren't much use. Mine has gone from "very bad" to "ok" in about five days.

Some improvements I'd like to see are in the complication. I'd like to see both a battery % charge and the calculated time remaining together. Either text % and the "progress bar" as time left or text time left and the progress bar as %.

Worth the download. Hoping to see where this app goes in the next few months. Good luck!

Thank you! Yes, the accuracy takes a while to improve. After about 7-10 days the accuracy should be "very good". Unfortunately this is something that cannot be improved upon, since the app need to collect actual data in order to make accurate predictions.

You will be able to see the battery % in the next update! It should be out in a day or so.

I like the apps design and the purpose of it, but it’s not always accurate. Sometimes you’ll see that the time remaining is waaayyy off. It can be fixed each time by going to the settings and switching the complication from “Hours until 0%” to “Battery %” and then back again. But the fact you have to do this (a few times a day sometimes) takes time I’m not willing to spend. It’s not much time but I can use math in my head to determine how much longer I have left faster. It’s frustrating because I want to love the app but I can’t having to do this extra task. I was really hoping to use this instead of my stock battery complication. I downloaded this the minute the developer announced it on reddit. So it’s not due to the app not having long enough to to calibrate. It actually seemed to get worse as the calibration got “better” according to the app itself.

Hi,

I am sorry that you are having issues with the app complication not updating. This bug occurred with only a few people, making it very hard to debug. This issue should be fixed in the latest update. I hope you can give my app another try!

Thanks,

I can’t tell how effective Battery Grapher is at predictions, but it certainly helped me at the Apple Store when my battery indicator was acting weirdly. Basically, for hours on end, my watch appeared to be stuck at 100% charge, although I knew it wasn’t. Then it would suddenly plummet into power reserve mode. I took screen shots of the BG graphs and showed them to the person helping me and he immediately grasped the problem. The BG graphs were a close match to the diagnostics the Apple person ran on the watch and they accepted my watch for repair. It was my second attempt at the Apple Store. The first time I didn’t have the BG evidence and I got no satisfaction.

Wow that’s incredible! I am glad that my app was able to help you in such a practical way. I never even imagined that my app could be used for something like that!
