About BatteryBot Pro
BatteryBot Battery Indicator is the original battery indicator app for Android™, released in 2009 as simply "Battery Indicator." Both the free and the Pro versions have maintained a 4.5+ star rating in Google Play from the beginning. It offers two modes: the original status bar indicator and now also a desktop widget. You can use either or both, as you please.
BatteryBot monitors and shows your battery charge level (percent) as an icon in your status bar, with how much time you have left, temperature, health, voltage, and time since plugged / unplugged in the notification area. It now also has a 1x1 app widget. The Pro version also has user-configurable alarms, logs, mA current information, and a large (4x1) widget.
Give it a try -- it's an excellent and complete solution to your battery needs.
Features:
• No ads (why would you want a battery app with ads?)
• Exact battery level in the task bar
• Or hide the task bar icon, keeping notification in tray — or turn notification off completely and just use widgets
• Multiple icon set options
• Automatic time-remaining estimates based on recent usage
• Small (1x1) circle desktop widget
• Very lightweight (please email me if you think otherwise, and I'll help you figure out what's wrong — I promise this app will not drain your battery!)
• Well-tested and supported on all major versions of Android (4.1 through 8.0; Jelly Bean through Oreo) and form factors (small phones, medium phones, large phones, 7-inch tablets, 10-inch tablets).
• Open source
For those who want more than is offered in the free version, or for those who just like to support small, independent developers like me, the Pro version remains lightweight while packing in many useful features:
Pro-only Features:
• Alarms (fully charged, charge above X, charge below X, temperature above X, or health failure)
• (On devices that allow it — Note that most devices on Lollipop and up, 5.0+, do not, so this is mostly only for old devices) Icon colors (including fully configurable green, amber, red, and black icons)
• (On most devices) Electric current (mA / milliamp /milliampere) reading to/from battery on supported devices
• Large (4x1) desktop widget
• Battery logging. You can log the battery state (charge, status, voltage, temperature) and browse the logs on the phone or export to CSV.
• Control the notification priority on Android 4.1+ (For example, you can set to "minimum" to hide the icon but keep the notification in the tray.)
• Lots of configurability of behavior and appearance.
• The charging indicator (the bolt under the number that indicates when the device is being charged) for the sets that have it is optional in the Pro version.

Here's the BatteryBot business model / philosophy:
1) Ads are annoying. For some apps, ads might make sense, but a system utility should not have ads.
2) The free version should be simple but useful; it shouldn't feel crippled.
3) Some people choose to purchase the Pro version because they want extra features, some because they want more customization, and many because they just want to say "thanks" for the free version and support small, independent developers like myself.

This represents the first time I've upgraded to an app's Pro Version based solely on the app's merits instead of to simply remove the ads of which there are none in the Free Version. For me, the most attractive feature of BatteryBot is its simplicity ... no fancy colorful UI, just the information I want to know presented in a straightforward manner. There are almost no options available to customize it which is fine by me. It does permit the addition of Alarms, of course. All-in-one, an excellent battery indicator app with a tiny footprint.

Back in 2015: I've installed this on multiple devices over the last few years. Never any issues, always a clear and reliable battery status in view. Many thanks! Update 2017: still no issues, still many thanks! ????

Worth it. However: 1) It could use an option to have alarms play on the alarm audio. 2) Both current hack methods, old and new, show zero milliamps while charging on Galaxy S7 running Android seven. Changing other settings does not fix it.

Unable to use on my phones. I've tried to use this on LG G3, LG G4, GALAXY S4, LG V10 and LG V20. All were using Nova Prime. I noticed in other reviews mentioning problems with it. I don't know much about phones working with certain apps. My phones all locked up and I had to pull battery to free them. I'm not saying this a bad app but it just doesn't work for my situation.

Had this for years. It's also helpful to see if you have a dodgy charger. EDIT: Widget has not been working for a month or so, I've tested without Nova Launcher, also cleared cache, data then reinstalled.

Great app but listing about variable icon color should be more clear, like"after Lollypop colored icons probably will not work " Change description and I will add star.

Been using this since I got my first HTC G1 back in 2008 and it keeps getting better. First app I download when I get a new android device. Keep up the great work! Update 5/14/2017: Still the best! Going on 9 years use on all my many devices. It just plain works with no fuss or bother - the way an app should.

I have the same problem as Angel Parez For example I have 85% battery but it says I have 3 hours until drained. That can't be right! I should have at least 15 hours! OK thanks for the tip. It seems to be working for now!

I've been using this app for quite some time. It's a simple utility app. What made me want to write a review is that the developer supported Google Family Library, where you can share your paid apps with other family members. This is a new feature, and it usually won't apply to your old purchases, forcing your family to rebuy the app. But not this developer! Thank you for taking care of your old customer. :)

This superb App, always visible (in your preferred size, shape & color) is a great deal more than a mere battery level marker, it is THE Android all-encompassing "power manager. " Dedicated Developer keeps improving & incorporates user guidance. Buy this App - NOT a new battery!

I keep waiting for a phone to come out that I wont *need* this program, but as of my Samsung Galaxy 7, I'm back again to download it. Love it and have been using it for as long as I can remember... BatteryBot Pro, I just can't quit you. <3

The mAh reader doesn't work on Android 8.0, it just says 0mA all the time. Everything else works perfectly but having the mAh level displayed is great for letting you know how quickly your phone is charging & whether or not Quick Charge a actually working. Please fix this soon, it would be much appreciated, if you need a log of my phone specs in an email or something may let me know, thank you, 5 stars if you fix it.
