Bottom Line
Design / UI9
The aspect of this utility is quite impressive and functional, as it features a well structured layout, but it is plagued by numerous ad banners. |
Function10
Battery Status provides a good deal of details about the battery usage, offering some neat notifications and has a most useful backup and restore function. |
Security7
The app seems a bit too curious since it accesses the phone dialer, location services, phone and owner identities for no good reason. |
Battery3
This application requires a lot of power to function well, so the battery usage remains at very high levels most of the time. |
Price8
The utility seems a nice tool to have, especially since it comes with a solid feature pack, but the more advanced functions and the ad removal will require a purchase. |
Compatibility9
Only those who own a Windows Phone 8 and above handset will have the possibility to enjoy this app onto their devices. |
