Charge Alarm

Until Apple put out its last update this app worked fine. I could turn on the alarm, keep the app active and lock my iPhone XR. When the battery reached 100% the alarm sounded. Never a problem until update 13.1.2 Now, as soon as the phone locks, the app is automatically put into the background and I get the banner saying the app won’t work in the background. I unlock the phone and sure enough the app is is the background even though I had left it full screen active. This isn’t the apps fault but if the developer can get this fixed it would be much appreciated.

This app is very unreliable. I mainly charge my phone in the morning before I go to work and only need it charged to around 80% most days. I've been using this app for about 5 weeks and there have been times where I've set my phone on the charger then opened this app to set an alarm for 80%, only to come back and find my battery charged to 100% and that the app has inextricably reset itself, meaning I'll come back to find that the alarm has been turned off and the charge notification has been reset to 100%. There aren't a lot of apps like this that actually work, and this app by far the best out of all of them, but that's a very low bar considering this app only has one function and can't even perform that function 100% of the time.

With the new update the app now automatically goes into the background when you lock the phone which means the alarm won’t go off. Are you going to fix this? It worked wonderfully before this new update. I didn’t mind having to keep the app in the foreground to have the alarm work but now I have to keep the screen on while my phones charging and I don’t want to have to do that. Please fix this.

Added: Alarm comes - but no sound ... . Not sure if since last iOS update. Bummer. Old review: Can't work in background or if on lock screen - that's OK since probably Apple does not allow differently. I can't change the alarm tone - probably would need the Pro; fine. Alltogether I like it. Particularly since one uses it to avoid overcharging, it is good that it keeps the screen on and does not allow the phone to go into auto-lock. It's problematic when your phone is stolen then, though. Good is, that this delays/slows charging - all in line with the apps purpose. Great would be if the app could change the phone out of low-energy mode. 😊😊😊

I don’t understand why the app is not allowed to function when it is not active. The alarm did not work when I locked my phone and waited for it to charge at set limit. But even if it did work on locked phone, it appears that as soon as you play some music, or do something else while the phone is locked, the alarm will not sound. Therefore, if I must change what a normally do, like listen to music while screen is locked, just to get the functionality of a charge alarm, then an intruder (this app) has entered my life! I will will likely delete this app from my phone.
