Battery Status 2.0.4.3

A useful battery monitoring utility that offers a good deal of data in a friendly manner
Watching over the power consumption and checking out the battery related stats using the data offered by Windows Phone could be not enough for some users and for this reason some specialized tools have been devised.

One of these apps goes by the name of Battery Status and aims to provide a lot more than some simple meters that inform you about the amount of power left in your handset's battery.

Informative interface with a cool look

The appearance of this utility is quite nice, as it has an interesting and original appearance, with carefully designed graphics, as well as some customization options for the live tile.

The practical aspect and the ease of use are not left aside, as the data is presented in a clear manner, with easy to read graphs and statistics.The ever-present advertisements are a constant annoyance and they appear in every section of the application.

Detailed battery usage info and logs

Battery Status offers a neat set of details that will help you make an exact idea about the time left until the battery is completely discharged and it also contains a lot of extra stats like the average time between charges, length of last charge, as well as lots of percentages for charge and discharge rates.

The logs can be customized to be collected at intervals ranging between 30 minutes and one month and there is a dedicated section inside the app where you can view this data at a glance. The current battery status is always available via the Start screen live tile that supports all sizes.

Useful graphs, charts and notifications

This tool has in store a battery power graphic that can show you the consumption for the current day, the last 24 hours or even the entire month. It is possible to take it even further by activating the custom range and selecting the desired start and end dates by hand.

The power source, battery drain and battery usage charts are quite helpful when you want to get a more complete picture of the battery consumption on your handset. The utility will even let you know how much battery time you have for carrying out various types of activities.

Extra options, with data backup and restore abilities

The "Settings" area accommodates a "Notifications" module where you can enable all sorts of alerts that will keep you posted about discharge rates and more.Also, in case you want to keep some of the most often accessed system areas at hand, from the main screen ofBattery Status you can pin them to the Start menu with one tap.

To keep all the configurations you made to this application and transfer the battery data to your personal storage, the integration with OneDrive will surely prove a useful helper.

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.
