Battery Widget Reborn review

Battery Widget Reborn comes as a stylish and colorful circle battery indicator on your home screen and brings you advanced features, such as a battery monitor, nighttime mode, and notification area integration.

Pros

Timeless, highly customizable design: Battery Widget Reborn impresses first with its pure, material design, a colorful circle battery indicator that changes color as your battery level decreases; and second, with its vast array of customization features, which enable you to select whether it displays time remaining or percentage left, as well as modify its colors, width, or add drop shadow. You can also customize how the widget appears in the notification area.

Outstanding performance: Unlike other battery widgets, this one has hardly any impact on your battery or system performance. What's more, the customization screen itself moves smoothly, with the preview window displaying changes in real time.

Useful extra features: Although it's essentially a widget, it also features a battery saver that limits background data and device performance (especially useful when your battery reaches a critically low level), battery depletion charts with a list of the apps that eat the most battery, battery notifications in the status bar, and our favorite, a customizable night mode that lets you disable features such as Wi-Fi or background sync while you sleep to preserve the battery.

Cons

Costs money: Considering its stylish design, awesome customizations, and outstanding performance, Battery Widget Reborn is worth its price; still, it's a battery widget, and you may not be willing to pay $2.49 for it.

Bottom Line

With its great design and many options and features, Battery Widget Reborn can be a great addition to any Android device, offering you a better way to view your battery level, understand what drains it, and access a couple of advanced features that could help you preserve it. It's an outstanding widget, but before you buy the Pro version, we recommend you try the Beta first.
