Battery Health Bar Widget

It's difficult to make changes because it sometimes freezes up. It would be really helpful if there was a picture next to each style of hearts to show you the look, so you didn't have to change it and then wait to see what it looks like. It has also frozen up sometimes and stopped showing battery life.
This app looks great, it's customisable and useful. There are different styles of Hearts to choose from and you can even add a title. The only downsides are that I wish there were more ways to customise it and sometimes it takes a little while for the widget to 'update' after changing the settings. Pretty cool and fun app.
So much better than a percentage number or a tiny battery icon. A quick glance and I know the level. Took me a while to figure out that I could tap the widget to change settings. I use Apex Launcher which let's me put widgets on top of other widgets and I have this battery meter behind my 5 day weather forcast.
I love this app which is why im still giving 5 stars but i hope you can fix this bug. It causes the hearts to all be empty and renders the options menu unavailable. I've reinstalled multiple times and no fix. I'm running droid DNA stock Rom no root on android 4.1. I hope you can fix this soon
I stumbled upon this randomly searching Borderlands stuff. (don't know how this showed up) I downloaded it just to check it out. I was surprised to see how great it is. It's really accurate and I love the different selections of heart styles. This takes the top spot on my android home page. A very nice addition to my phone. Nice job!
I've had this app for 2 years or more and its always worked fine. On each of the three phones i had. (Xperia Ion. HTC One m7. And now LG G4.) I've had my LG G4 for a few months now and up until now it has worked fine. The app just recently stopped working? It doesn't update the battery unless i remove the widget and place it again. It'd be great if that could be fixed because I've been using this app for so long. Great app. Works great when it is working. Needs to be fixed.
This thing looks awesome and works perfectly. I really love this. To add just go to "Widgets" and drag to the screen. I especially love how you can customize the hearts. My only complaint is it does slightly make your battery down quicker, I also have an animated background and my battery on my android still lasts ~12 hours.
I like this widget, but when nothing else is running on my phone this app uses the highest percentage of battery life vs system-related processes such as Launcher and Screen. Despite this the battery still lasts a long time, but there may be a more energy-efficient way to run this widget.
App was awsome till o got the note 5 with android 5.1. It laggs on what the battery lvl is and u need to remove the widgit from the screen to re load it the 3 huors later do it again. Just needs to be updated
This is the one widget that has been with me since the beginning of Android. Through maybe a dozen phones, these little hearts have been there. But it seems its time may be at an end. periodically, this app will become a huge battery consumer, somehow using for or five times more then heavy battery using apps like Facebook. I understand this is probably a conflict with the operating system, as the operating system has advanced, and this app may not have. Hoping this will work itself out in the future... <3
I love the customization, but every so often it'll stop working and stay in one place, not changing with my battery life. It can be fixed by restarting my phone (or the app, I believe), but other than that minor bug, I love having it.
Ive used this with every phone ive ever bought. As soon as I got my note 5 it has been a little glitchy. The number of hearts doesn't correctly correspond with my battery percentage unless I remove the widget and put it back but it ends up just showing the same amount if hearts again after reapplying it to my home screen.
I love this! It has several options to tweak the appearance of the hearts. I smile a bit whenever I look at it, people compliment it all the time, it makes me remember the awesome NES & SNES era, and it's quite useful, how the hearts shrink in several steps. It's basically as good as a % indicator. I have it set up as a single row of red hearts with white outline and no bg. Looks slick.
This reminds me of being 9 years old and waking up at 5 AM to play the original Zelda, taking turns with my mom trying to kill that nasty pig dude. Besides nostalgia this battery meter is a conversation starter and makes it easier to judge battery life. Thanks for the memories.
This is great. I really wish you could have the option of it making a noise everytime a heart is gained while charging, and the full charge noise from Zelda as well as the low heart sound too. Please make it an option!!! Also I feel my battery is going down quicker now that I have it...
Love this app since I am a huge Zelda fan but recently got a nexus 5x and was sad to see it didn't fit across my whole screen in the 1x10 mode I always use. Would love to see it updated to fit all phones since the screens are just getting bigger and bigger
I love its settings and customizability! It's only setback is that it doesn't have the option to adjust the size of the widget itself; No matter how many hearts you select (from 3 to 20), the widget remains 2×4.
I love this and have had it on my phone for almost 2 years now. However, within the past month, the widget has reset itself to its defult settings twice on it's own, at random times. Which causes me to have to change the heart style, the number of hearts and the text again. I'm not sure why this is, maybe it's a bug to check? Anyways, it's still a great widget - thanks!
I had this app loaded on my phone before it worked great till I started having problems with my phone. The settings would not save to the phone, every time my screen went off the settings would reset. So I tried uninstalling, and reinstalling, but now I can't even find the settings.
On Samsung's HTC Motorola's new and old now on a Alcatel this ap works great! *f you plug/unplug your phone frequently and don't do full charge cycles the battery % display of androids are gonna always be a bit off*
having problems getting it,heres how to do it on galaxy s. First tap and hold screen until box comes up than click android wigits, should be on top:)
I have a LG G2 and it doesn't fit my screen properly so it only takes up 4 grid spaces instead of 5 so the health bar is on one side instead of centered. I would love if this got fixed or updated to solve this problem.
I've been using this app for years. Now, all of a sudden it has stopped working. I really love it, and I'm not sure why it no longer moves with the battery life (nor can I change the style of hearts).
Was going to program this exact widget until I saw this. Excellent style options. If the hearts start beating with under 3-4 hearts ill give it a 5★. Easy to resize to a 1x2 widget with launcherpro, but would be nice to have the option in the widget settings.
I love this widget. I can only think of things to make it even cooler 1.put in different heart options that resemble each game 2.make it to where if you charge your phone and the battery goes up, and the heart noise goes off when a battery is full 3.make a magic meter that shows phone service level
I loved everything about this app from the start, July of 2015, but just like the complaints of many others... Mine, as well, stopped adjusting to the battery power remaining on my phone. I have to keep trashing and re-adding the widget to my home screen
I live this widget. One problem though. It's out of sync with my phone's battery life. I'm using an lg v10 with the stock 3000mah battery.
I love the variety of options available, widget is cool and not obtrusive. I would like to see the percentage of battery left, and an additional heart style like the one in the Oracle games. There's a similar one (miniature 8bit I think) but the way the hearts are depleted is different and the borders are white. Either way, still a wonderful widget.
