Team review

" Display the remaining battery. "

The application has not yet detailed description, however the team assigned the note of 9 / 10. This note is based on the following criteria: Quality, Usefulness, Ease of Use, Privacy Concerns of user data (depending on the permissions required)..

The app is compatible from version 2.1 of Android. Any supperior OS version will support it.

Its weight is very light, less than a megabyte is sufficient to store and operate.

Its number of downloads in the Android Market (Google Play) makes it an extremely popular application and rightly so. More than a million users are using it on mobile or on touch pad.

Positive review Very nice and elegant. by anonym
Its the simplest n most beautiful battery circle widget. I have downloaded around 10 widget but none of them satisfies me except this one. I have one request. Pliz upgrade it so that it would show the correct battery in my android KitKat. It fails to sync with the original battery level. But it was working well in android jelly bean.thanking u in advance and do keep up the good work 5/5
Negative review Not Working Properly Anymore by anonym
I've happily used Circle Battery Widget with several phones for several years, most recently with a Droid RAZR MAXX and a Droid 4, both using the Android Jelly Bean OS. I just upgraded to two Motorola Moto X phones running KitKat 4.4. Circle Battery Widget is not working properly anymore. While either of my phones is charging, the CBW display does not update at all, and remains at the initial reading until the phone is disconnected from the USB charging cable. If I go to Settings/Battery, I can see the proper incremental state of charge throughout the charging period. A fix is required. I'm uninstalling and looking for a reliable alternative. 1/5
Negative review Not working since 4.4.2 update. by anonym
Love the simplicity of the application, however since updating Nexus 4 to 4.4.2 the widget hasn't been updating automatically. Occasionally I may be able to force update after launching widget and navigating to battery use. Please fix! 1/5
Positive review Best battery app I've found. by anonym
Love all the choices in colors, setups, sizes, everything. Very nice, best I've found. 5/5
Negative review Freezes on Nexus 4 by anonym
Worked great for a long time, now freezes for some reason on my Nexus 4. 1/5
Neutral review Excellent if it worked by anonym
On Nexus 5. Widget does not update unless you press it. 3/5
Positive review broken on 4.4.2? by anonym
I love this widget and have used it for a long time, but when I installed it today on my new moto G running 4.4.2 it appeared completely transparant. You could long press it and throw it in the bin and it it showed a full green circle when charging, that's about it. It's a shame it doesn't work anymore. I hope it gets updated soon cause I already miss it! 4/5
Positive review Best I ever had by anonym
Best battery widget by far because it's so customizable and has such a small footprint. I just wish the widgets were resizable. Great minimalistic look though! Wasn't showing updated battery reading after KitKat but the developer fixed that quickly. Top notch app, just needs to be resizable. 4/5
Neutral review Sahi hai by anonym
App is great but if it notify at notification bar also give 4 star... 3/5
Negative review No Longer Working After 4.4 Update by anonym
Not sure what happened but doesn't display the proper percentage since upgrading to 4.4, even after latest update. 1/5
Positive review Best ever! by anonym
Did not believe that finding a decent looking and well functioning battery status widget would be so difficult! But it was! This widget tells you on your home screen how much battery you have left simply, you can get more info and set low/critical alerts as well. Thanks! 5/5
Negative review Doesnt work properly by anonym
My battery is at like 40% while it says 100%. It wont update 2/5
Negative review Not working properly. by anonym
I would love this app if it worked. Running Kit Kat on my Moto X, this app stopped working after it was working fine. Please fix this excellent app. 2/5
Positive review Kitkat issue by anonym
Does not update since Kitkat update on my Nexus 4 or Nexus 5. Please fix. Love this widget. 5/5
Negative review Would be great if it would work by anonym
Installed this on my nexus 5 running Nova launcher. Looks nice but it freezes constantly. Any changes I make in the settings don't take effect unless I remove the widget from my desktop and then put it on again. will try it again and change my rating once this is fixed as I love the look of it and I'm guessing that it's a compatibility issue rather than a bad app seeing that it generally gets a high rating. 2/5
Negative review App crash by anonym
On S3 when changing the app setting the new settings do not reflect on the screen. Need to delete the widget and add it again. Please fix. 2/5
Positive review Simply the best by anonym
When I can't have it in status bar I come back every time after trying them all 5/5
Positive review Excellent Job by anonym
I have both paid and free version and this one (free)is stable but paid is not. 5/5
Positive review Excellent by anonym
Works great on Lollipop. 5/5
Negative review by anonym
Super low-res on tablets. Maybe it's passable on some phones, but this widget looks so ugly on my Galaxy Tab 8. 2/5
Positive review Motorola G by anonym
Great love how it can be made transparent so it does not interfere with my live wallpaper. Seems to be accurate also. Many thanks. 5/5
Negative review Needs update by anonym
5 stars until the inability to keep accurate teach of battery after android 4.4 Like others said, must have app until moto x install. Please fix for newer software! 2/5
Neutral review Fantastic... by anonym
This app works perfectly on the new RAZR. Seems to be MUCH more accurate than the stock battery gauge. This app is a must have for any smart phone out there that eats through the battery, like the regular RAZR. Thanks, dev! 3/5
Positive review Beautiful! by anonym
The only bug is that it doesn't update as soon as percentage changes... Could you please fix that? Thank you! I'll rate 5 stars after the bug is fixed. 4/5
Positive review This is it. by anonym
Sometimes does not update widget as it should on 4.4.2. Back on five stars when this big is killed... 4/5
Positive review BasiC Battery Widget by anonym
a very basic battery widget , best for phones with low internal memory as this app just takes less than 1 mb space 4/5
Negative review It just won't update by anonym
I really like the concept, but it just doesn't update. At some point it get stuck and no matter what doesn't change. Too bad. Hope you can fix this. 2/5
Negative review This APP is BROKEN! by anonym
This APP is BROKEN! Using nexus 7 (2012) app used to work before kit kat but now is completely useless. No longer reports correct percentage of battery left. Why can't you fix? Very poor developer support. 1/5
Negative review Freezing on Android 4.4.2 by anonym
Great looking app but buggy on Nexus 7, Android 4.4.2. I often have to tap it and then it will display correct battery level. Note to developer: I would have emailed you directly but there is no contact info provided. Thanks. 2/5
Negative review KitKat Broke It by anonym
Worked great until I got a phone with KitKat. Now colors don't always correspond to the situation (shows critical color when 99% for example) and sometimes the measurement freezes, which either resolves itself or requires a reboot. Please fix these things and I'll gladly fix my rating back to 5 stars. Thanks! 2/5
Negative review Percentage doesn't update as battery drops by anonym
Myself and other users have been experiencing the circle percentage not keeping up with battery. Please fix and poor review will change. The other suggestion I have for you guys would be to make the widget icon smaller so it doesn't take so much of the screen. 2/5
Negative review Has stopped working for me. by anonym
I have used the widget for years on my Nook Color, Asus TF700 and Nexus 7 with many Android flavors. However on KitKat (Nexus) it is flaky at best, and on CM11 (Nook) it freezes immediately. So I've had to move to a different widget. I'll certainly come back when it's fixed! 1/5
Negative review Good...when it works by anonym
I love the minimalist design of this widget, but it has become too unreliable for me to give it a good rating. Since I updated to 4.4.2 on my Nexus 4, it only displays the correct battery level sporadically, often becoming stuck on a certain reading and never refreshing. After this is fixed by the developer I'd be happy to give this a four or five star review. 2/5
Neutral review Good Looking, Nothing Else by anonym
It's. my favorite battery widget yet, as far as aesthetics go, but it has absolutely no function beyond showing the battery's charge level. It'd be great if it had the functionality of the Geekyouup battery widget, but I think that all that this one really needs to replace it on my phone is a charging indicator. I find it irritating that when I'm changing my phone, it doesn't give me the little lightning bolt icon beneath the power level. Add that, and I'll forget geekyouup and give 5 stars. Thanks. 3/5
Negative review Not working properly by anonym
I used to install this on all of my Android devices as a "must have", but since the upgrade to KitKat (4.4.2) it doesn't display the proper amount and just seems to "stick". Tapping it sometimes resolves the problem, but usually it has to be killed and restarted. With much regret I have stopped using it as it's simply unreliable, and have given it one start because it's now useless :-( 1/5
Positive review Update issue by anonym
Update on Dec 2nd fixed the issue from the Nov 30th. Nov 30th update the circle for 2 X 1 widget is smaller than it was. Before the last update it was 5 stars. 5/5
Neutral review Very nice, simple app, but... by anonym
I cannot get the 1x1 icon to align the top edge with other icons on my home page grid. This widget is always too low. Fix that and this is a 5-star app, easily. 3/5
Neutral review Broken on 4.4.2 by anonym
Widget is invisible when launched. Its on the screen but only interaction is to long press and put it in the bin. Also working widget does not update unless pressed. 3/5
Negative review Doesn't update by anonym
Nothing like your widget saying you have 75% battery and immediately getting a 4% battery warning. Please fix. Was awesome...5 stars awesome. 1/5
Positive review Great widget for easy monitoring of battery by anonym
One issue: on my Nexus 7 (2013) running Android 4.4, the widget sometimes is slow to update the battery level. Pressing the widget and dismissing the setup screen results in the battery level update. I have not seen a similar problem on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus that I have had the widget on for almost 2 years. 4/5
