The function and presentation of the widget is spot on, especially Super Metroid (my personal favorite). However, the size/positioning of the widget is either too big or too small and more importantly, too high or to low (within it's own space) making it unaligned/intrusive and odd with other app icons. I've used this before in the past a few times and never had this problem. This needs a little updating to keep up with newer Android OS, otherwise it would get the 5 stars it usually deserves.🤔

No longer seems to work. Widget also takes more rows than it needs to.

Good but i wish you could expand the bar, it just is a small bar in the corner id rather be able to size it to stretch across the top of my screen. Other than that its pretty good

Not working properly after latest Android update. Cannot resize to fit at top of screen or sides, takes up too much room now.

I've had this since I've owned a Android. The fact I can't use it properly any more is a little upsetting

Works exactly how it should with good customization options but it's too small. If it was scaleable, 5 stars

About this app

This is the free version of LifeMeter. Please read everything below for instructions and important notes*.

We at The Food Sucks are of the opinion that notions of battery life do not have to be measured with grim clinical concern. It should be FUN. Even nostalgic! Introducing LifeMeter, a widget that draws inspiration from decades of classic gaming fun and brings it to your Android device to enjoy. It takes the age-old iconic digital heart symbolizing LIFE and applies that feature to your Android device's battery. We also didn't merely draw inspiration from the meters of classic 8-bit games like Legend of Zelda and Metroid, we wanted to demonstrate that LifeMeter is capable of a modern styling too, and what better example than the health bar from a game like Skyrim!***

To make your experience special we made it *highly* configurable, because personalizing is fun and rewarding. Just take a look at the gallery to see not only the variety of meters offered, but how you can customize most of them to your heart's content! The widgets currently comes in 1x1 and 2x1 sizes, and even offers unique meters exclusive to each size to make your experience a little more fun and interesting. Heart widgets can be tweaked; rows/columns can be adjusted, scale them if you feel they might be too big. You can align them within the widget's frame (top, lower right, center, etc). You can configure a LifeMeter widget to launch an app when tapped, or show some detailed battery info instead. You can adjust how often updates happen - from once a minute to as little as once an hour if you want to conserve battery life - though LifeMeter does not use a persistent service; When the phone goes into sleep mode, no updates are issued to your widget, preserving battery health.

*Do not force the install to your SD Card, install it to internal memory only!

**If you use a TASK KILLER (you shouldn't) like ATK, STK, ETK, etc, you MUST configure it to *EXEMPT*, or else it will terminate the process and your widget will appear to be stuck/not updating!

We've tested extensively on multiple devices with great results. Should your device have any trouble with it, we'll do our best to address the issues, just contact us.

We'd like to add even more meters in future updates, and we're open to suggestions - send us an email!

**Some meters are available only in the full version.

----------------------------------------

TO PLACE A LIFEMETER WIDGET ON YOUR HOME SCREEN (Android 4.0+, ICS+):

* Please note, at the moment (08/2012) there is a bug with *Jellybean* that may require you to REBOOT your device to install widgets from a newly installed app. You'd only need to do this once.

1. Navigate to your APP Drawer. (It may be an icon of 6 little dots or squares, on your home screen)
2. Select the "WIDGETS" tab.
3. Locate LifeMeter 1x1 or 2x1 - you may have to swipe side to side if your list is large.
4. *Long-press* one of the LifeMeter widgets until your Home Screen appears, then let go.
5. Configure the hell out of your supercool new widget.
6. Show your friends and family!

1.6: Two METROID styled widgets! Metroid II and Super Metroid (Check the gallery). And the beginning of some overhauling for upcoming widgets - hopefully nothing breaks :) LOTS more is on the way!
