Contact Battery Life Support

I downloaded this app a bit ago and found out that there was discrepancies. I have a fairly recent Refurbished iPhones 6S. I was getting several different readings in the battery wear level every time I opened the app. So I started to test this. I got readings of 7% Wear level (Which matched my iPhone measurement), 13% Wear level and 18% Wear level. I left the app open to see if the reading would change back to the previous reading and sometimes it would and sometimes it would not. I tested this in a three hour window. I also tested it for several days and got the same results...Very inconsistent readings.
So at that point I figured the app was pretty much worthless to me and I deleted it. I just installed it the other day again to see if maybe things had gotten better with the app. I got the same results as previously. So I’m going to delete this app again and just use the reading I get in my iPhone settings. I was sure hoping it would work better.

With the way that my daughter was describing the troubles she was having with her iPhone 6, I thought for sure it was the battery, but this app said that the battery was in perfect condition. We took her phone to the Apple store where the guy there checked the battery out with his diagnostics tool. Amazingly, every test came back “Unknown”. There was nothing wrong with his tool - he had just finished checking out my son’s and those results came back fine. So I can’t trust this app to give reliable results. By the way, the battery had been replaced by Apple just last May, so they replaced this battery with another one for free. If we had continued with the defective battery because this app said that it was fine, who knows what damage would have happened to my daughter’s phone.

First off, this app CLEARLY has a lot of fake reviews. Most don’t make any sense and don’t really mention the app or what it’s supposed to do. What is that all about!?!

As far as the app goes, I knew my battery was going bad due to how often I had to recharge but thought I’d try this free app to see if it told me anything else about my battery issues. Well it give such a wide range of diagnosis that I don’t trust it at all. In a single day on a single charge it will give capacity readings from 30% to 70% and after a week of use the history info doesn’t appear to factor in any of theses variances. The history numbers aren’t even close to why it shows when I check the app.

The estimated amount of usage left based on the battery state and charge is completely useless too. It shows several hours of standby time remaining at 15% charge and 40% capacity but the phone dies in less than an hour without using it and with no apps running.

So this app did absolutely nothing for me. There is a similar app with a lot less reviews that has much more consistent data.
