## Description

Charge Alarm is a highly rated iPhone charging assistant. Set an alarm at any level from 1% to 100% to be notified when your iPhone reaches that charge, helping prevent battery overcharging, save energy, and share a charger efficiently among multiple iPhones.

New for Version 2.2 (3): Updated for iOS 11; fixed a bug where sounds did not play on the lock screen; note that iOS 10.0 or higher is required.

## Review summary

Overall mixed sentiment: the app is praised for its simple, useful charging alerts and works for some users when kept in the foreground. The major recurring drawbacks are iOS background restrictions that prevent reliable alarms when the phone is locked, plus occasional failures after updates. A few users note a workaround via iOS Shortcuts/Automation, but reliability remains inconsistent.

### Pros

- Generally positive reception; described as a simple, useful battery charging alert app.
- Works when kept in the foreground, for users who keep the app active on screen.
- Supports iOS Shortcuts/Automation as a workaround to monitor charge and trigger alerts.

### Cons

- Does not run in the background; requires the app to stay on screen, limiting multitasking and causing alarms to fail when the phone is locked.
- Alarm is not reliably triggered at the set percentage, especially when the device is locked or the app is not active.
- Recent iOS updates/restrictions have broken or degraded background functionality for some users.
- The set alarm level can be forgotten or reset between uses.
