Its battery Percentage For The Rest Of Us: Batt Stat

[LSUtigers03]

It's pretty funny that the OP was very talkative before people started posting that he is ripping everyone off and now nothing.

Hopefully not too off topic.

An app that I would love...

A profile selector.

I press a car icon, and wifi shuts off, bluetooth turns on, 3G turns off etc.

I press a home icon, all that turns on.

Work icon, something different happens.

Blackberry had profiles? Am I the only one that would love this?

Not possible.


This app isn't really worth 99¢. It only takes 3 lines of code to get the battery data. Then to determine the state of the charger isn't much more work. Also, the battery percentage output only shows percentage in increments of 5%, so odds of having a proper charge level displayed is 1 in 5.

You need to submit it. It's worth a try.

You made an app that tells you exactly what the status bar and the cord running into the bottom of your phone indicate? Why launch an app to know if my phone is charging? If its plugged in, its charging. For percentage, I look at the status bar. Its not numerical, but being as that graphic is a representation of the same data your app pulls, I just don't see the point. But thats just me.

It's way better than guessing how close you are to 20% or 10% or whatever. I love the battery %. I just hope there's a jailbreak app to disable the stupid battery image next to it like on 2.2.1 and previous.

I don't see how he's ripping people off. He submitted something to Apple that other people submitted for free. There a lot of apps on the app store that cost 99 cents when one developer submits it and free when another does. If someone finds it useful and doesn't take the time to look for a free version, then he isn't ripping them off.. he's giving him what they want. He didn't write the code? Big deal. I don't see the big deal.

FYI that stupid free battery app is ridiculously wrong and retarded. I had a 100% battery (which we all know it is never 100% especially after a year of use), I browsed the internet for 45 minutes while listening to music on 3G. My battery showed what I would consider to be about 60% (just over half) of the picture being green. The "free" battery BS this kid above is yelling about said my battery was at 95%. FYI, it's 100% improbable that it was at 95%.
It is useless to me to have to open an app to get my battery %. I wish it just ran within the OS, but that free one sucks balls.

The big question is why didn't OS 3.0 have this capability in the first place.

i like how the website address on the app store is localhost.
