    Recently a number of battery indicator apps have appeared on the App Store. I'm just wondering if anyone has tried any of them and if so, do they work? Also, if any, which is the best?

    Here is a list of all the battery indicators on the App Store at the moment:

    Battery Level 3.0 $0.99
    .

    Battery Level FREE

    Battery Go! $0.99

    myBatteryLife $1.99

    BatteryLife FREE

    BatteryStatus $0.99
    .

    Battery Juice $0.99
    .

    BatteryLog $2.99
    .

    If there are any more apps or one of these is terrible or doesn't work as a battery indicator just say and I'll add/remove them.

    Nice list. I haven't purchased a battery indicator app yet because I use Free Memory, which shows the battery level of your device on the bottom too, as well as freeing up memory on your device which I use all the time.

    I've heard people talking about that one but I've never actually tried it. I may have to buy it since it kills two birds with one stone. I also found a similar app called SysMon, which does the same type of thing as Free Memory except it doesn't free any memory...

    Battery indicator apps are useless.
    Especially the ones that tell you how much time is left per action. Every device operates differently. They merely base it on the percentage, and then the time is based on what a new device can do with that amount of time.
    Battery runs out faster with push notifications on, wifi on, data connection, bluetooth, etc.

    I would never use any of these, nor would I rely upon the time left per action either.
