#22Nice. Dead simple, costs less than two lattes, might save me from forgetting to throw my phone/AirPods on the charger while working (a regular occurrence...), I've got a watch on the way, I'm sure it'll help a lot with reminding me to charge it too. I got a copy! I suppose it can't connect with AirPods while they're hanging out in the case?

I'm an indie developer, and the $7.99 lifetime license purchase sustains Batteries' development.
I do respect that. And if you find people paying for it then I say keep at it! I definitely think it is a neat app, but I just didn't see the value proposition personally. Others probably do. I know the macOS software market is usually higher priced than iOS and others. Thats just my reaction and I wanted to give my feedback. As a side note: I'm trying to break into the iOS/macOS dev market, do you mind sharing if yo…

The balls you have to say your app is too expensive... THEN ask for help as you try and become and indie developer on same platform!

This is so offensive. Why reply? $7.99 is too much for you? Then don't buy it. God forbid someone try and recoup their Apple Developer Program annual fee.

#27It makes me sad on your behalf to wonder just how long it will take for Apple to see this and put it into their next OS release. For your sake hopefully not right away.

> sustains Batteries' development What future development needs to be sustained? I developed a similarly-sized app back in the days of Snow Leopard and I’ve not really needed to do much maintenance to keep it going. An hour at most every major OS X version and that was mostly just updating dependencies and recompiling. That’s less time than I spend scrolling HN so I couldn’t justify charging for it.
New features (tracking other Mac batteries as well, better Apple Watch support), bug fixes, supporting new devices (Logitech, and new Apple devices), localization into new languages. You’d be surprised!

This isn't offensive. That's ridiculous to say. My entire reply was to give feedback, I didn't ask him to lower his price, or give it to me for free. There is lots of software I will use if it is free, and lots I will pay for. I was just speaking my thoughts the value added by such an app.
