The very nice interface and the wealth of information it has to offer make the Battery Widget Reborn app a must have for any Android user.

The nice thing about the Android mobile OS is that it provides information about battery usage – it gives you a percentage value for how much battery you have left, tells you how much time passed since you last charged your device, and presents you with a list of applications that eat up your battery.


What the Android OS does not do is tell you how much time will pass until you will run out of battery. This is where the Battery Widget Reborn app comes in – it tells you when you’ll run out and more. In the notification bar the app presents your remaining battery as a percentage. Expand the notification are and the app will tell you how much time you have left.



If you want to, you can put a widget on your screen. The widget is resizable, you can get it to take up the whole screen if you want to.



Before you put the widget on your screen, there are numerous options you can go through: change the theme, select the color for the charging indicator, pick what happens when you tap the widget, and more.



The app’s main interface is made up of 4 tabs. The first one is the Battery Info tab that provides info about your remaining battery and lets you access a few settings, like the option to disable the WiFi connection, or the option to enable Airplane Mode.



Next up is the Battery History tab that presents info on the battery’s discharging speed, how long it takes to fully charge your device, and how long a fully charged battery lasts.



Third on the list is the Notification Area tab that lets you customize what the app displays in the notification area.



The fourth tab lets you access a few Power Saving and some Advanced Settings.
