Least Battery Drain Verified!

It's always nice when users simply believe what you tell them because it's the truth.  But what is truly special, is when we completely by accident come across a page that has third-party independent verification from a well-known company with the reputation of Norton Mobile Security.  Yes, what we have been saying now for the past two years is true.
Both Battery Notifier BT Free and Battery Notifier Pro BT have the lowest drain on your battery of any Android battery app for your Android phone or tablet!

First of all, a big thank you to Norton Mobile Security so we could provide these links.
The versions of both our apps that they tested are each slightly outdated, (the renamed Battery Notifier BT Free is Battery Notifier (Big Text) 2.1.6, and Battery Notifier Pro BT is version 2.1.8) but they tell you all you need to know.

The first place to visit is the Norton Mobile Security - App Resource Hog Widget.  If you enter the name of our apps, the App Resource Hog Widget will also tell you about our low memory use, but the thing to look at here is the power rating, which according to Norton Mobile Security is "The impact of this app on your smartphone’s battery life, calculated over time to eliminate discrepancies."  That's right.  We got a big fat zero.  Now we realize you might be thinking, "Well, those other popular battery apps probably have zeroes also."
Our only response to that would be, go ahead.  We want you to test those other popular battery apps at the App Resource Hog Widget.  Please do.  You might be surprised.  :-)

Norton Mobile Security - Battery Apps is another great link to compare battery apps if the App Resource Hog Widget doesn't have the battery app you are looking for.

Enter the name of any other battery app.  (Yes, there are a lot of them.)   Even if you are lucky enough to find an obscure app that nobody has heard of that matches our zero power rating in the App Resource Hog Widget, they will either want to connect to the Internet, have "madware" issues, or they will require many more permissions.  In short, they can't match the strings of 100's you will find for us at the second Norton Battery Apps link.

Once again, here are the links that verify we have the least battery drain:

Now go look up all those other popular battery apps you thought used less battery than us.
Go ahead.  We'll wait...  :-)

Battery Notifier Pro BT Personalization Update

With our 2.5.3 update to Battery Notifier Pro BT, we have tried to respond to many of the visual status bar requests that we have gotten from users.  And you know who you are. :-)

PERCENT SIGN
We've had requests for the percent sign many times before.  However, every time we tried to squeeze in the percent sign before in the space that Google gave us, we were never really happy with the results.  We also weren't impressed with the look of many of the percent sign icons that were out there in other apps.  When we created our own percent sign icons this time, we took our time trying out different things, and made certain this time that they met our standards.  We believe that they are the easiest to read compared to the competition, and we hope that you agree.  We also believe they are easier to read than the tiny optional percent sign that many of the Samsung phones provide, and we think we also compare favorably to the recent updates many of the HTC phones have released, that also include the percent sign as an option.  And the HTC and Samsung phones have just one color and one size only.

NEON COLORS
We've also had many requests for all red or the color yellow before, and we finally decided to give in.  So now if you want all yellow or all red, you can have it!  But we didn't stop there, and ever since we got that one request for purple, we decided, why not?  So now all our Neon add-ons have fuchsia, purple, yellow, orange and red that extend all the way from 100 to zero, so all you users with the new clear status bars can go nuts!  Be creative!  Just remember who came out with these colors first.  Who loves ya, baby?  :-)

ANIMATED CHARGING ICONS
Animated charging icons is another feature that was requested, that few apps have without the use of an extra intrusive overlay which requires system permissions in order to work.  Again, thanks to Dmytro's hard work, there are now five different animated charging options in Battery Notifier Pro BT that require no extra permissions, and which make it easy to tell now at a glance if your charger is properly connected.

We are not done, however.  In future updates we will be continuing to improve and add features to Battery Notifier Pro BT that our users have requested.  We'll get to them soon.  Just be patient...  :-)
