Carat is an application recently launched in the App Store, and its developers I support that it can help you improve the battery life of your iDevices without doing too much. The application seems to monitor the way you use the applications, sends information to a company's servers, corroborates them with data received from other iDevices, makes some calculations and finally offers you some recommendations that would allow you to increase the autonomy of the battery. The application cannot monitor much in iOS, considering that Apple does not provide access to detailed information for applications in the App Store, so everything is based on simple assumptions and mathematical calculations that in reality could be inaccurate.
Ever wondered why your battery is draining so quickly? Just install Carat, open it every few days so it can send data to our servers, and within a week Carat will start recommending Actions (just for you!) and even predicting the improvements you will see. Although Carat cannot measure energy use directly, it infers what apps are responsible using advanced machine learning methods. Carat will tell you which apps it thinks are hogs (they use a lot of battery) and which are bugs (they use a lot of battery on your device but not most others). Being a hog or a bug does not make an app 'bad', but a user trying to improve their battery life can use these designations to adjust their behavior.
After Carat has enough information about your iDevice, it can start recommending that you close certain applications that consume excessive energy, and for each recommendation you also receive an estimate regarding the potential increase in autonomy. Of course, all these estimates must be viewed with some distrust because the Application cannot provide you with 100% correct information about how iOS applications use the operating system.
- Action List tells you how to improve your battery life and by how much
- Device information detailing exactly what data we are recording
- Reports apps that are using lots of energy and whether that is happening on other devices, too
- Detailed views let you dive down into the data and see graphs of energy use
- Low-overhead sampling requires almost no energy or CPU
- J-Score tells you how your battery efficiency compares to other users
- Sharing features let you post/tweet/blog about your experience; more users means more data which means better recommendations for you
Carat is available for free in the App Store in a universal version.
