Perfect for workouts, busy commutes, and couch days when your phone is out of reach, PhoneBattery keeps your iPhone's battery right on your wrist. Features include smart battery notifications, a clean interface, lots of Apple Watch complications, alternative app icons, and a free, no-ads experience from an indie developer. Optional tips help support future features. Need help? help@marcelvoss.com

User Reviews

Users like the app for ease of use and being free, but many report it fails on the watch, lacks updates, and has poor support. The main concerns are reliability of the watch complication, compatibility with current iOS/watchOS, support responsiveness, and a clunky workflow to access battery data. Some still find it useful when it works.

Pros

Simple to use and quick to view battery status on the Apple Watch and iPhone.
Free with no in-app purchases.
Delivers its advertised functionality and is useful when it works.
Offers customization options.

Cons

Watch data often fails to load or update (grey/blank battery display and no percentage shown).
Not updated and not compatible with current iOS/watchOS; many reports of outdated software and breaking on newer devices.
Support is slow or unresponsive to user inquiries.
Unreliable—stops working after a short time or only works once.
Cumbersome UX requiring you to open the app on the home screen and navigate to the battery view instead of showing it immediately.

Any form of complications on my watch does not load battery data and only shows skeleton screen that the data is about to load but never loads. I am only able to see my iPhone’s battery status by opening the app.
