System Status: hw monitor 4+

This is the utility I’ve been looking for. It shows things like battery state, storage usage, cpu usage, boot time and uptime. It also displays network connection, WiFi connection and vpn information all on one screen. Very helpful when trying to diagnose network problems. It’s a utility you need on your devices. I love it.

First off, I do recommend this app. But you need the paid version, which I have. This free version is limited and I give it 5 stars for what it is. …. HERE IS MY PAID VERSION REVIEW: I’d like to see the app continue to monitor in the background when switching to another app, BUT this I believe is an iPadOS limitation. I purchased the full version of this app for system insights to my 2017 iPad Pro, and it is useful on my M1 iPad Pro. I check memory and CPU the most and this app has been the Closest thing to an Activity Monitor for the iPad. More details to my “WISH” above … My only wish is that it would keep active when I minimize it to the background until I actually close the app. I want to run certain tasks and see what ‘pressure’ they put on my M1 iPad Pro - which I can when hooked into an external monitor and running Stage Manager when needed.

I have been using this app for years and it is very good. I always jnow just how much battery I have left and it does not hog power while monitoring like some other apps I have used in the past. I highly recommend this app. Also like and recommend another of their apps, Network Analyzer lite.
