If you have multiple devices, such as smartphones and tablets, it can be difficult to keep track of certain aspects of them. Batteries for example. It may be the case that you are connecting your Android’s 4G to your tablet. From time to time, you may be concerned about the remaining battery capacity on your smartphone, just to make sure that you have enough spare battery for next time. But you tend to forget to check it, don’t you?
To date, all that battery monitoring would have to be done manually. You’ll have to rummage through your pocket to get your device, unlock it, and check the battery health. But now with a brand new app called Potential, you can use one of your widgets to track the status of all your other devices.
Potential for Android
After you install and launch Potential on your device, it will provide you with a login page. If you are logging in for the first time, simply enter your desired email address and password. The account will be created automatically. Finally, give the device a name and save it.
Your first device will be added to the app and you will be able to see the battery status along with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth settings. Now go to your second device and log in with the same account credentials. Adding this device to the app is fine.
You should now be able to see both information about your device. Feel free to keep adding as many widgets to the app view as you want. You can monitor battery life directly from here. If any of your electronic devices are running low on battery, you can use the app to turn off the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth radios to extend battery life a bit.
Pro tip: I’m not really sure how often the auto-sync between devices happens, and nothing is mentioned in the settings. But you can use drag gestures to manually sync data. This uses 4G/Wi-Fi but not much data is used during the sync.
If you’re willing to invest a dollar, you can set a battery alert notification threshold for all connected devices. With the paid upgrade, you won’t see any ads either. The app is currently only available for Android and Windows 8/8.1, but the developers have promised it will be available for Mac, Linux and iOS so users can monitor all their devices, even on multiple platforms.
Potential is currently in public beta and some devices may not be supported. But don’t worry, the app has been regularly updated with new features and bug fixes.
Conclusion
Potential seems to have a lot of potential and the developer is proactive about feedback and development. Once the application is fully developed, with all its features, I am sure that it will be a good helper for users who have a lot of devices that need maintenance like me.
