Features & Capabilities

Charging Play is a charging animation software that automatically starts when a device is connected via data line or placed on a wireless charging panel. It displays charging animations and exits automatically when disconnected, offering a convenient, practical experience. It also calibrates the displayed charging percentage based on observed data and learns to improve accuracy over time.

To achieve a seamless experience, it works with iOS 14 Shortcuts automation and requires following the configuration steps. On older iOS versions, enable boot in the Shortcuts center and start the charging animation manually as needed.

User Reviews

The reviews show a divide: many users praise the app’s concept and the available charging animations, plus a helpful tutorial and visible battery readings. However, widespread issues undermine the experience: intrusive ads, frequent crashes or black screens, and stubborn animation customization problems. Some users also report being stuck on a MagSafe-style screen and some in-app purchase glitches. Overall, the app has appealing ideas but reliability and UX still need significant fixes for broad adoption.
Pros
  • Engaging charging animations and features when the app works.
  • Helpful in-app tutorial that teaches how to enable animations.
  • Battery status/percentage is displayed as part of the app's interface.
Cons
  • Too many ads interrupt the experience.
  • Frequent crashes, black screens, and loading loops that prevent use.
  • Customization/animation settings often don't apply or respond as expected.
  • Persistent MagSafe/charging screen issues that won't exit or reset.

It’s a great app and great set up but if I didn’t have to unlock my phone and didn’t have ads it would be top tier

Honestly, I had a lot of faith in this game until I actually tried it out first off with the ads and stuff. It didn’t say anything about ads in the description. Maybe I haven’t looked at it right now. I saw what I saw it personally it was even working. I had to put my charger in to make a charge and then it started saying how it was helping my phone charge one about portable chargers is that they actually work this one did it so I’m giving it a one star review at this point they can’t even offer me premium to give me them a better review. Sorry for a long review.
