System Status Pro: hw monitor 4+

If you’re looking for an app that will tell you comforting, colorfully-illustrated lies about “trickle charging” your battery, this isn’t the app for you. On the other hand, if you’re looking for an app that will give you a wealth of information that’s truly useful and doesn’t attempt to promise what it can’t deliver, you’ve found it. After downloading this app and starting to use it, I was disappointed by the lack of an alarm to notify me when charging was at 100 because I’d been told by both battery app descriptions and tech journalists in the past that “overcharging” (like leaving your device on the charger all night) can be a cause of battery life(span) issues. So I emailed the dev of System Status. Know what I learned? Two things: one, he’s very responsive and helpful, and two: battery charging is 100% under iOS control - it stops charging when it hits full charge. In other words, you can’t “overcharge” your battery. And the kind of alarm I was looking for used to be a feature in System Status, but A) it had to be running in the background to continually check on charge and B) Apple restricted what apps can run in the background. So he removed the alarm, as people would’ve had to leave System Status as their front-most app for it to work. A simple, clear explanation. Very refreshing, in a sea of snake oil “monitor/utility” apps.

UPDATE Mar 2013: The new CPU/Mem/Net history graphs📊📈📉 are MIND BLOWING!! 😱Background data collecting?! OH. MY. GOD!! It's like Sysinternals Process Explorer for your iPhone now! This changes everything! No other app compares!!! --- ⭐⭐If I had to choose between this app and the second coming of Christ, I would choose this app!!🎉⭐⭐ I was sold at "pixel perfect retina graphics".📱 This app is brilliantly designed. No hokey graphics, it uses the fast and compact Apple default interface just like the Settings app on every device. Love the load meter and visual charts. I use this almost every day to 🔍diagnose which apps are still active when my iPhone slows down. 🔩It's helped me find numerous bugs and bad behavior and report them to app developers to be fixed. A trick is to watch for a location aware (GPS) 📡app that is running and started recently - say 🕑50 minutes ago, but you know for sure you haven't used it since yesterday. Now you know something in that app is causing it to relaunch and take memory. And if it shouldn't, you should write the app developer support 📩email on their website so they can fix it for everyone in the next update. I can't live without this app installed on all my iDevices. 📲 Well done.🏆🏆🏆👍😎

Hey, Apple, I’m talking to you…soooo, why not? Cuz this pairing of apps provides essential information! Why do I need to employ a third party in order to gain a little situational awareness, Apple?! Not the tactic of a copilot, let alone a combat veteran that needs the top guns!

Stop tasting our sweet juicy data and memory-holing it to the priestly class of your occult dev(il)s! It’s common knowledge that knowledge is power, and for unlawful carnal knowledge, BigFruit wants us powerless, like a hellish Cupertino Air conditioner during wildfire season! Are they evil, or are they misunderstood? Are they rotten to the core, or is this simply a misunderstanding between a big worm and we birds who flock?

You can and are able to prophesies that these apps are now and shall be installed on every one of my networked iFruits, whole eBooks, iPhondle slabs, and WacProse. Given the world market our dear demigod has created, having rested on the seventh day whilst ignoring the pleas of we drowning men, the App Store is now overly ripe with men playing God in attempt to right the perceived slight…and not all we cut from the same cloth. THIS APP IS THE BEST AROUND - its never gonna let ya down! Thank Heavens!
