The App DNA
What makes this app unique?
Users hire this app to maintain constant awareness of their device power status without navigating to the Control Center, saving time during high-usage days.
For iPhone users seeking persistent battery level visibility on their Lock Screen.
What does it look like?
Key features
Displays battery percentage directly on the iPhone Lock Screen via widget integration
Updates status every few minutes or at 5% intervals to minimize background power drain
How much does it cost?
The app is distributed as a free utility with no observable in-app purchases or subscription tiers.
Velocity
Dormant developmentinternationalizationShow more...
The app has only one recorded release in the observed data, indicating a lack of established development cadence. Without a multi-version history, it is impossible to determine a trend, but the current data suggests a lack of active feature development. The latest release focused exclusively on internationalization. Future updates are required to establish a measurable velocity.

Key takeaways for Battery percentage (%) widget
Where is it heading?
The utility market is consolidating around apps that offer more than just status display, such as historical logging and cross-device sync. Battery percentage (%) widget remains exposed due to its limited feature set and lack of a clear monetization path, so the app will likely lose ground to competitors that provide higher utility value.
- The lack of feature updates beyond stability improvements suggests the app is in maintenance mode, which increases the risk of obsolescence.
- The current free-only model prevents the reinvestment needed to compete with apps offering advanced logging or cross-device synchronization features.
The SWOT
- Low-power update logic minimizes background battery drain [Mechanism: 5% interval polling]
- Integration of historical battery health logging could differentiate from simple status widgets [Market: Utility segment]

Since the last report: The analysis shifted from addressing widget rounding precision to identifying onboarding friction and feature parity gaps against a new set of system-utility competitors.
Bottom line
The app provides a useful utility but suffers from high onboarding friction and a lack of feature depth, so the developer must simplify the setup process to prevent churn to more integrated alternatives.
