Juice Watch Reviews

by Echo Three

I bought JuiceWatch ($4.99). Fair enough. I opened it and looked to change notification sound. That’s a “premium feature.” Want it? $3.99. It’s $4.99 just to download?! Then another $4 to use it?! Oh, there’s a Tip Jar in JuiceWatch as well. How thoughtful!
Scam. Scam. Scam.

For example of notification app done right - Cloud Battery.
You can use JuiceWatch as is. Nothing locked. $1.99 removes ads. That’s it for charges. You can add notifications for ALL iOS devices. Fantastic.

After installing JuiceWatch on my phone and watch, I received a fully charged alert once my watch reached 98%. However, after receiving this first notification immediately after installing JuiceWatch , Juice Watch has failed to work correctly. When I charge my watch to full battery, no notifications appear. The only way I’ve found to get the notifications to trigger is to open the Juice Watch app on both my watch and phone at the same time. Once I do that, all of the sudden Juice Watch realizes that the watch’s battery is full and sends the notification. But at that point the notification is useless because I have to observe that my watch is at full battery prior to opening the Juice Watch app in order to fire the notification. To troubleshoot, I put Juice Watch into the Favorites Dock on my watch as well as the complication on the active watch face, but this had no effect.

Bottom line: Juice Watch does not send fully charged notifications unless JuiceWatch is open on both the watch and the phone.

Every since the last main Apple update in every update for JuiceWatch since it is not been communicating between the phone and the watch… I used to give JuiceWatch a ton of good reviews but lately I’ve been telling people not to buy JuiceWatch if they really wanna know the power level of their phone on their watch. Just the other day I’ve looked down andThe phone app is saying that it’s not responding with the watch and the watch says the same thing about the phone I’ve tried all the tips and tricks to get it to work and it’s still not working.

.Always this message appears

.The actual watch battery percentage does not show nor does the watch charging logo appear

"A Juice Watch was Forced to Quit It looks like you forced Juice Watch to stop running in the background by swiping up on it in JuiceWatch switcher. For the best performance, do not force it to quit from JuiceWatch switcher".

Ironically, the latest update drains my watch battery very quickly. originally my watch can sustain around 2 days of battery life, after installing JuiceWatch it is shortened to 1 day. Uninstalling JuiceWatch fixed the issue. I can feel the battery level reporting is more accurate in recent updates but perhaps this significantly increase the watch-phone sync frequency and result in much worse battery life

by NineSevenZero

I know writing watch apps can be a nightmare for developers and I appreciate the effort that went into this, but despite putting the Juice Watch complication on the face, and following the recommendations for success, I only get the “charge complete” notification about 20% of the time at best.

I hope to try JuiceWatch again in 6 months or so to see if iOS and watchOS improvements help.

I wanted to use JuiceWatch to give me a notification on my Apple Watch when the watch battery is below 35% so I can remember to charge it. But even with it set as a complication it doesn’t seem to get background process time often enough to be reliable. It seems like Apple has made this sort of an app impossible.

by Vexing_ex

Very simple and useful app to use, given the limitations of the background tracking on the watch. It definitely looks a lot sleeker compared to other battery apps too. Being able to have both Watch and iPhone battery on the same complication is great too.

Wish there was more customization options though. Currently I’m using the corner complication and it’s nice, but it would be cool if the gauge was split to two mini ones and each battery level is on displayed on each end (similar to how the stock Temperature corner complication displays their numbers). Maybe more options for other comp. types too, more color options, etc. Still a good app.

by Frambuesas

This is really helpful as I’ve been trying to find a way to remember to go get my watch when it’s finished charging. I wonder if it would be possible to add a function to notify the user when battery is at 25% or so, as the Series 5 basically dies after that so you never get the 10% warning/power reserve!

Thanks for your work on JuiceWatch, it’s great.

by Izajeepthang

JuiceWatch works exactly as it describes. Frankly I’m unsure why Apple doesn’t allow this to begin with, but I’m glad SOMEONE designed this!!! Nice to be able to see the charge level of both devices on my wrist, get charging notifications and more. Great app!

Fix bugs Open JuiceWatch updating the just crash opening opening JuiceWatch

by Schleppydotnet

This is a really great little app for battery level tracking. I’m also glad to see that the developer keeps making it more and more reliable too. I’m looking forward to seeing more features added down the line, and hopefully the ability to show the battery level of your AirPods, AirPods case, etc.

Keep up the good work!

JuiceWatch has solved my problem keeping up my the charge levels on my iPhone and Watch. I can now display BOTH charge levels as a complication on my Watch. I am so glad I discovered JuiceWatch. You can set notifications to charge Watch & iPhone at whatever level you choose…fantastic. The notification appears on my Watch face plus iPhone. Great job!

by KelelaSB

For instance, when driving and the charge status is hidden by the nav app I can just glance at my wrist. Plus, I charge my Watch mid-evening so it’s helpful to be notified when it’s ready to put back on for monitoring my sleep. Really glad for JuiceWatch. And the developer John is attentive and responsive, improving it many times and ways since I started using it early last year.

by ElBaha

Just wanted to leave a review letting anyone looking know that JuiceWatch is much more accurate when you have a complication for JuiceWatch on your watch face. There are limits built into iOS/watchOS for how often apps can update in the background, and the update cycle comes around to an app much more often when it’s on your watch face.

I’ve never had JuiceWatch be more than 3-5% off when the complication is used.

by CarterV78

I’ve been using JuiceWatch since near when it first came out, and have been impressed by the work ethic of the developer to fix any bugs and improve the UI to make it look great and provide tons of functionality! I absolutely love JuiceWatch, being able to see both watch/iPhone battery in a single complication is amazing. Great work on this, I absolutely love JuiceWatch and the functionality is rock solid!

by Runs Seamless.

Genius how you can display Watch and battery level at the same time on the watch face. Nice too how you can customize which you want to see on each level indicator (note: be sure to open JuiceWatch on your phone to experiment with the different settings). Not to mention the notification on my phone when it’s charged. I’ll be using this everyday! Tip the guy!!!

by Lee Bro 2012

I purchased this because the description said it would notify me when my Apple Watch is charged to 90% “or whatever you choose 50% to 100%”. But when you try to set over 95% it says “not recommended” and offers a premium service for another $4.99. I contacted the developer and they responded right away and fixed their description and told me about iOS 14 notifying at 100%. I don’t need JuiceWatch any longer but am impressed and their quick response.

by EMT235

I love that I can have my watch and phone battery statuses as one complication. The small battery indicator on iPhone makes me think I have more charge than I do, so seeing the percentage whenever I glance at my watch is great. I do wish that I could display the watch percentage next to the color bar (you can choose to display the watch percent, but the phone percent will be replaced with the bar instead).

The thing I loved most was that it is simple, works great, and not a single ad. Just a simple way to tip the developer at the bottom of JuiceWatch , which I feel a tip is deserved for delivering a functional and great app.

I highly recommend JuiceWatch to anyone who’s willing to splash a couple dollars on an app. Sure it cost money but the function you get in return is incredibly worth it! There are times when the widget isn’t up accurately showing the percentage but it’s easily fixable by just tapping on the widget and it updates automatically. I use JuiceWatch just about all the time weather I’m in another room from my phone or I’m just too lazy to get up and check the battery on my phone. Overall highly useful and would definitely recommend to anyone willing to pay a one time fee.

by JMRBR

Good app, but is draining very fast the battery from my Apple Watch.
I add to my watch face and the battery was gone in few hours.

I remove JuiceWatch from my Apple Watch, and the battery from my Apple Watch stop to draining, I did this test 3 times, to make sure JuiceWatch is causing the battery draining.

by Mrandy64

I was looking for an app that would notify me when my Apple Watch was almost charged. Unfortunately the notifications sent to my phone were very inconsistent and many times JuiceWatch is saying 80% when the watch is already at 100%.

by Jessej1511

App doesn’t refresh quickly. Currently says “53% last updated 43 minutes ago” and my watch is fully charged. Needs to be constantly updated.

by Sjeiwnsowb

Would be nice to set the percentages for notifications based on user input. So 100% instead of 90%

by BillSkiCO

Finally a way to tell how charged my phone is from my watch. Really cool you can get notified when your watch is charged to 90% too!

by Chris The G 2009

I’ve been wanting a way to keep track of my iPhone battery without having to get my phone out of my pocket. So very helpful, and free.

by Oktobe1

Yep. Battery life in Juice is awesome. Shows life left in both Watch and iPhone perfectly. They keep doing great tweaking updates too. Very happy.

by XR SHAKES BACK

BEST APP EVER 100% RECOMMENDED. JuiceWatch lets me see my phone and watch battery and also lets me put it as my watch face as well. I spent a long time looking for an app like this THANK YOU !!!!!

by Drumminsnowman

How did I live without JuiceWatch? I can’t even remember.
