GreenPower Premium for Android
Download it now! Like they say its probably the best, definitely the best I've tried. I sometimes try others but in the last 3-4 years none have come close beating greenpower. Don't waste your time downloading any other
The idea is great, and it does save battery very well. However some problems make it annoying to use, and developer doesn't seem to respond. It fails to use app whitelist. So if i call on whatsapp or skype, and the screen turns off, data is turned off,and call disconnects. Second, if i turn wifi manually off, greenpower will turn it back on, even if it's settings tells it that it shouldn't do that.
Been using this for years now. Can't live without it. A little understanding helps but it's easy to use. EDIT: 5 Stars down to 1. This just doesn't seem to be working correctly for me anymore. I am upgraded to Nougat on my Nexus 5X but it wasn't working in M either. App Whitelist malfunctions and fails to keep data/wifi active with whitelisted app in foreground. "Checking Traffic" low threshold also doesn't seem to help. This creates a hellish situation when casting to Chromecast. The app must reconnect first. Then you have to go into the Google Cast app and then it will remember that you are casting. Very inconvenient when skipping songs, etc. I need to find a new app. I have whitelisted all apps involved and still no luck. Data is turned off.
Used to be the best. Now on Nougat doesn't do anything. Seems the Dev has abandoned this app! Boo. Report to Google that he stole our money!
Would like to see a 4 hour weekend sync schedule and a Peak Time option during the week
So far the best app for managing WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS (rooted). This combined with greenify saved me a lot of power.
Great app! Works quite well. Wish that it would be updated to Nougat design language though.
After a recent update it's now saying I don't have a valid license when I've already paid for this app. Please fix this problem.
Since juice defender development is now dead
Puts the user in full control of WiFi connection frequency, apps sync, Bluetooth, + lots more - set your own day / night schedule - battery power is significantly saved - excellent !
Very Mixed Results depending on ver. of Android. Used on old and new version of same phone; Casio Commando 2.3.3 Casio Commando 4g LTE 4.2.1 On older phone increased battery life dramatically! Fantastic! On newer phone opposite effect, after uninstalling battery life went from terrible to average. Believe developer has stopped giving app attention/updates for Android 4.0 Contacted developer on Oct 28 only to get a ticket #, have received no response regarding issue. Between the two experiences I would give a 3, but developer not responding (to a paid customer) has lead to a 2. If you chose to try this app, use the free trail. When I installed GP on old phone started with free version and saw dramatic battery life improvement, which lead to my buying app. My experience is anecdotal but indicates still works on Gingerbread, but not Jellybean +. Again, after initial praise I heaped on this app, I'd expect a response. Not cool. FYI I wouldn't use another battery app. They're all gimmicks, intrusive, garbage and often use self-defeating "task killers". This app is none of those. It's very smart in managing phone function and sync. It just needs and update and customer support...
The only tablets I have ever been able to get this to work right on is my Verizon tab 2 & 4. Unlocked AT&T galaxy tab 8 inch 4 and s it will stop every time. Please fix it and get a 5 star rewritten review.
They need to update their users guide to assist with proper setup.
Not working on my HTC DESIRE530. Does it have to be rooted to work on Android6.0?
I tried them all. JuiceDefender, DU Battery Saver, greenify, Avast, and many others over the last several years. This one has the most meaningful functions.
it was very useful in the beginning after a while it wasn't displaying batter % correctly, it would say 89% once clicked in it it would drop to 50%

I used the free version for a day. It did OK but I wanted to see how the premium would perform with its added features. It works pretty well. I can go an 8 hour day of moderate use and still have 50-60% battery. I'll gladly take that with a smartphone. I have also noticed that my battery doesn't run as hot. My only "gripes or wining" would be that I can accidentally pause the app. Not sure how. I also wish all options were available in premium without being rooted. Still tweaking but good so far.
Does literally nothing to manage location based Wi-Fi or mobile data. Their claim they do is a total lie. Doesn't even disable mobile data when connected to preferred Wi-Fi spot, a no-brainer for battery conservation. Day mode settings conflict with general settings and are written unintelligibly. Avoid.
This is excelent! Worked great on my Galaxy S1, S4, and now awesome on my Galaxy S6. EDGE Plus Does not work with any other virus protection but that is expected. More than one protection always fights eachother.
I have the premium installed in my Lenovo Vibe K4 note and it is not working on start up. even after invoking manually it just works few minutes and goes off. any support. i am in India
Default install good, ' offers signif savings & does so in non-intrusive way. BUT, takes work 2 configure 4 big savings & retain full functionality with ur particular phone/OS, carrier, habits/use. ONCE SETUP properly, near transparent 2 user (bkup ur config/settings!). love singularity/granularity of control (manage/or don't) of individual settings/components that enables use of other apps & the OS 2 manage functions ' they do better (OS, Lux, GPS Status, Shush!, etc.). OS alone now better at night; GP day
GreenPower Wi-Fi management affects Wi-Fi passwords. I keep having to enable airplane mode then Wi-Fi in order to regain access to my passwords. It happens on several devices running Android 5/6. I have no problem if I uninstall GreenPower. root access is available.
No regrets for buying this premium version. This independent dev has been honest in updating & bringing in support for newer hardware & firmware versions for so many years.. Amazing!!! Toast to your dedication man :-)
I believe have the potential to be a gread app but need to impeove. For example on my galaxy s5 frecuently stop to work. It needs to persist in order to do the job. Keep working.
This apps can make a huge difference in battery life...especially if your phone is rooted. It is reliable and I've increased my battery life by around 50%.
I typically get 18-24 hours on a single charge. Mostly syncing apps (texts and email) and web surfing.
Automatically reconnects wifi, I have no data
Don't work anymore exept for Wifi management. Weird !
I use this on both Sony Xperia Z and Z2. I now have a brilliant Xperia Z5 Premium and I'm going to continue using this app.
They need to update their users guide to assist with proper setup.
Has added hours to the battery life of my Galaxy S5. Highly recommended.
Been using this for years now. Can't live without it. A little understanding helps but it's easy to use.
This is the best battery saver out with no ads. My battery lasts for days with this app. Good job!
Doesn't turn off.
Noticeably improves battery life without interfering with phone function.
Had to change my rating because all the options work ONLY on rooted phones.
Still great after 3 phones (currently Note 5).
Very useful app like bc it saves me alot of energy

I was looking for a replacement of Juice Defender cause it's not maintained anymore and not working on my HTC with Android 6 Marshmallow. First, when the dev says GreenPower is better than other apps HE REALLY MEANS IT ! The app works perfectly and is fully customizable to anyone's needs. It's clearly the best and most usefull app on my phone right now. If you hesitate buying this app, I'm telling you to forget your fear and give those well deserved dollars to this developper.
