One of the most traditional and continuous complaints from users about certain Apple devices is their battery life. While the iPad or MacBook offer sufficient autonomy for most of the day-to-day consumers (although a couple of additional hours would never hurt), Devices like the iPhone and Apple Watch get the most criticism.
There are no magic tricks that solve this problem in a sharp and definitive way, however, one of the keys for our devices to last the whole day lies in their configuration (unnecessary background updates, notifications, screen brightness, etc.) and above all, carry a exhaustive control of the use we make of our battery and the remaining autonomy. The latter is precisely what the Power 2 app offers, a very useful complication for our apple watch with which we can monitor the battery status of our iPhone without having to take it out of our pocket. Plus, it's now on sale for a limited time, so it's a good time to grab it.
Power 2, a very useful app to control the iPhone battery
Application Power 2 is a new app available for the Apple Watch thanks to which we can add a new complication to the sphere of our device that will inform us of the useful life of the battery of our iPhone.
It is true that thanks to the battery widget, we can know the amount of energy that our iPhone still has, however, Power 2 will save us from having to take the phone out of our pocket to check. But the biggest advantage is not this but that, By not having to resort to the iPhone itself to check the battery status, we will not activate the screen and therefore, we will be saving a significant part of the battery that will allow us to extend its daily useful life.
The complication that you can add to the dial of your Apple Watch with Power 2 allows you to monitor the battery status of the iPhone that you have paired with the watch at all times, even if you have it stored in your backpack, purse or pocket. Even if you have it elsewhere, as long as it is within range, you will have the information available.
The biggest difference between the Power 2 and its previous original version is that, while the Power 1 relied on "glimpses," which required an action on the clock to check the iPhone's battery, Power 2 is a complication for the iPhone. Apple Watch, so information is always available just by raising your arm and looking at your watch.
Time Travel function
In addition, Power 2 includes a new function compatible with the "Time Travel" feature that consists of predicting the battery life.to. By enabling "Time Travel" and rotating the digital crown on the Apple Watch, users will be able to see an estimate of the progress of the watch's battery over the next few hours, something that will help optimize the use of the iPhone should it be. necessary.
The Time Travel functionality is a prediction based on the constant use of Wi-Fi connectivity on the iPhone. This means that Power 2 will not be able to assess the possible battery drain that can be done with activities that involve a large consumption such as watching videos but it still provides an overview that can be very useful. For example, if the app estimates that we only have 2 hours of battery left and we know that we will not be able to charge the iPhone for up to three hours, we can precisely avoid activities such as watching videos, which consume a lot of battery, or activating the battery saving mode of manually.
Notifications
Power 2 also includes notifications, just like in its first version. Power 2 check iPhone battery charge every 30 minutes and reports when it is charging according to the following intervals:
- Full load
- 95% - 85%
- 55% - 45%
- 20% - 10%
- 9% - 1%
Power 2 is on sale for a limited time at € 0,99. Take advantage of!
It does not warn when the iphone is loaded, there are no possibilities of configuration whatsoever, a rather poor app, I hope that since we have paid it will improve over time.
