Add a battery indicator to your homescreen with SmartBIndie - 100 free copies to be won!

By Michael Hepples on 9 Aug 2010 10:16 am

Quite Simple has brought out some extremely useful little apps, some of which I have covered here before, like SmartBDocs.Utility apps make our devices that little bit better, and sometimes make our lives a little bit easier, and their latest application aims to do both, with a simple addition to your BlackBerry homescreen. Similar to an app like BatteryEx, this tiny app adds a notifier to your banner with your current battery level in percentage, dynamically changing color with your battery level. OS6 compliant already, and visible even while browsing, it's available for $.99 in the CB store.

Contest: We have 100 copies of SmartBIndie to give away. Just leave a comment on this post to enter. Contest ends this Sunday at Midnight PST. Please only leave one comment, multiple entries wont count.

More information and purchase of SmartBIndie >>

Sure, I can use one of those!

Good thing there is already one in the upper left corner of the screen then. Otherwise you would have to waste your money on an app like this...

Could use a Battery Indicator. I think I use my Bold 9650 too much. Some days it needs a charge in the middle of the day.

It's the little simple things that make things that little easier or save a few seconds so you can waste even more time on crackberry lol.

mansandem Aug 9, 2010 at 11:15 am

This app looks to me like it will be very informative, especially since I'm not too fond of the battery indicator on OS 6. I much prefer the small separated bars on OS 5.

Patkennedyjr Aug 9, 2010 at 11:15 am

I have another battery monitoring app that I use, but would really like to have it on the home screen. Bars don't do well for me, as I'm kind of a numbers guy. I want to see specifics, not approximate life remaining.
