1. 5/5No snake oil, just useful stats

   If you’re looking for an app that will tell you comforting, colorfully-illustrated lies about “trickle charging” your battery, this isn’t the app for you. On the other hand, if you’re looking for an app that will give you a wealth of information that’s truly useful and doesn’t attempt to promise what it can’t deliver, you’ve found it. After downloading this app and starting to use it, I was disappointed by the lack of an alarm to notify me when charging was at 100 because I’d been told by both battery app descriptions and tech journalists in the past that “overcharging” (like leaving your device on the charger all night) can be a cause of battery life(span) issues. So I emailed the dev of System Status. Know what I learned? Two things: one, he’s very responsive and helpful, and two: battery charging is 100% under iOS control - it stops charging when it hits full charge. In other words, you can’t “overcharge” your battery. And the kind of alarm I was looking for used to be a feature in System Status, but A) it had to be running in the background to continually check on charge and B) Apple restricted what apps can run in the background. So he removed the alarm, as people would’ve had to leave System Status as their front-most app for it to work. A simple, clear explanation. Very refreshing, in a sea of snake oil “monitor/utility” apps.

2. 5/5App Illuminates the Forbidden Fruit and Bestows Knowledge Upon Man

   Hey, Apple, I’m talking to you…soooo, why not? Cuz this pairing of apps provides essential information! Why do I need to employ a third party in order to gain a little situational awareness, Apple?! Not the tactic of a copilot, let alone a combat veteran that needs the top guns! Stop tasting our sweet juicy data and memory-holing it to the priestly class of your occult dev(il)s! It’s common knowledge that knowledge is power, and for unlawful carnal knowledge, BigFruit wants us powerless, like a hellish Cupertino Air conditioner during wildfire season! Are they evil, or are they misunderstood? Are they rotten to the core, or is this simply a misunderstanding between a big worm and we birds who flock? You can and are able to prophesies that these apps are now and shall be installed on every one of my networked iFruits, whole eBooks, iPhondle slabs, and WacProse. Given the world market our dear demigod has created, having rested on the seventh day whilst ignoring the pleas of we drowning men, the App Store is now overly ripe with men playing God in attempt to right the perceived slight…and not all we cut from the same cloth. THIS APP IS THE BEST AROUND - its never gonna let ya down! Thank Heavens!

3. 5/5Good app for iPad System stats

   First off, I do recommend this app. I’d like to see the app continue to monitor in the background when switching to another app, BUT this I believe is an iPadOS limitation. I purchased the full version of this app for system insights to my 2017 iPad Pro, and it is useful on my M1 iPad Pro. I check memory and CPU the most and this app has been the Closest thing to an Activity Monitor for the iPad. More details to my “WISH” above … My only wish is that it would keep active when I minimize it to the background until I actually close the app. I want to run certain tasks and see what ‘pressure’ they put on my M1 iPad Pro - which I can when hooked into an external monitor and running Stage Manager when needed.

4. 5/5A Fantastic App that’s been on all my phones since I had an iPhone

   This is one of those apps that I find myself using enough so that it never gets offloaded from my phone. It gives me important data that helps me understand the internal condition of my phone. The app always works, I think I’ve had it since my iPhone 4 or so and I’m on an iPhone 13 (because it’s ridiculous to buy a new phone just bc it’s “new”. Anyway if gift it 10/10 stars. I also used their network analyzer for a period and it worked as advertised. That’s the thing, it does what it’s supposed to do without pestering me with all the pop up adverts. Thank you for being excellent in what you do.

5. 5/5Used this App for Years

   I downloaded and gratefully paid for this app many years ago. I even remember when this app was able to show all the running processes, a missed feature Apple took away. Regardless, I still find this app very helpful when I need to troubleshoot my iPhone. It shows me CPU and network usage, which is very helpful when you need to figure out if your download is still going or if you have a runaway process. I also love the ability to free up my ram. There’s a lot more this little app can do as well. Such amazing utility crammed into this well-programmed, ad-free, and efficient app!
