Battery Doctor+ 2.3.0.1226
Finding some of these explanations and making the necessary adjustments to increase battery life are tasks that require trained professionals and Battery Doctor+ is one of them, an app designed especially for Windows Phone users.
Simple GUI for fast operation
The clean and friendly interface will allow you to carry out the needed verifications with a single tap on the large button placed in the middle of the application's main screen.
Neatly tucked inside a drop-down menu in the upper part of the screen are several shortcuts to essential areas of the system, which you can access to adjust the power saving options.
The prompts to rate the application and the animated adverts shown in every screen of Battery Doctor+ are definitely a drawback, as they obscure much of the positive impression.
Check out the power consumption and charge the battery safely
Once you tap on the main button to start the diagnose, the app performs the analysis on its own and displays the results in a few seconds. The verifications it performs are standard and rely on a few system areas like the WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, airplane mode and battery saver status.
A feature that is specific to Battery Doctor+ is the 3-stage charging procedure that ensures, among other things, the handset is not overcharged. The live tile you can pin to the Start screen will keep you informed about the current charge state of the battery and offers an estimation for the time remaining until recharging is required.

Bottom Line
Design / UI7
The looks of this app are good, but there is room for improvement, as there are no customizations for the interface and the continuously changing advertisements, coupled with the tireless prompts can be quite bothersome. |
Function7
The analysis is done very quickly and the shortcuts for solving the identified issues are well at hand, so the optimization can be done on the spot. Nonetheless, there are many possible reasons for the fast discharge that are left aside, like the display related settings, which have a lot of influence over the battery life. |
Security6
Battery Doctor+ requires clearance to several places where private data is kept, asking to access phone and owner identities, location services and appointments, even though this information has nothing to do with the purpose of the app. |
Battery9
The utility finishes its job fairly quick, so it will not put a lot of stress on the system resources and will keep the power demand low at all times. |
Price8
Thanks to the fact that it supplies everything free of any cost and taking into consideration the abilities of the application, it is indeed a valuable tool to have. The only disadvantages that make it lose some points are the intrusiveness of the ads and prompts, as well as the fact that it peeks inside areas where it shouldn't look into. |
Compatibility8
Windows Phone 8 and higher devices are targeted by this app, which only needs a standard screen resolution of at least 480x800 pixels. |
