## Description

**Battery Widget Builder** is an all-in-one Android battery monitoring app for tracking battery health, usage history, temperature, charge percentage, and estimated time remaining. View detailed battery statistics through history graphs and quickly identify excessive drain or changes in long-term battery performance.

Create personalized home screen widgets with custom fonts, colors, themes, and display options. Set alerts for low or full charge, temperature changes, and battery health conditions. The built-in Signal Finder helps locate stronger cellular coverage, potentially reducing battery drain caused by poor network connections. A desktop toolbar indicator also provides a quick view of your live battery status without opening the app.
