Compared to other battery status apps like
Battery Level for Status Bar
or
Battery Status Monitor
that inform users of users through visual indicators, Battery Sound Notification provides a
truly unique solution
to users by using sound. Everything is configurable through a
simple and intuitive
user interface.
Audible battery tracking
Smartphones keep getting more powerful but people still have cold sweats when they realize their battery has dropped so low without realizing it.
Battery status indicator
apps make it easier to
visually keep track
of power levels yet users still forget to charge. Enter Battery Sound Notification, which takes a different approach with the use of
auditory cues
.
The standard options within this app allow you to add sound alerts for when batteries are
low or full
,
charging or discharging
, and
plugged or unplugged
. You can also set custom alerts for any percentage using whatever audio file you have. What’s more,
repeating notifications
are possible in case of situations when you were not able to catch the first one.
If you're on silent/vibrate mode, you can still have
persistent alerts
on, as well as an option to
suspend the service
if you don't want to be disturbed during specific times of the day or when you're on a phone call. One thing that needs to be added in future updates is the ability to
control volume levels separately
instead of everything tied to your media e.g. loud alerts.
Hear your battery
Overall, Battery Sound Notification is a novel idea that was executed well and
works as advertised
. It's easy to use, supports customizable percentages, and lets you set any custom audio you want. The only knock against it is its odd decision to link volume adjustment to your media. Aside from that, though, there's really no reason not to give it a try.
