with this free app you can test your chargers and cables

Is your phone charging slowly? That might depend on the charger or USB cable you’re using. With the free app Ampere you can closely monitor the charging speed of your phone and immediately determine the cause of your charging problem.

Ampere app

Charging should just go smoothly. Ideally, we want to connect our smartphone to the charger shortly before departure so that we can get through the day without any problems. However, not every charger or USB cable is equal, and as manufacturers increasingly consider omitting the charger, users are increasingly falling back on the chargers and cables they already have.

In the Ampere app, you can run a ten-second test and the app analyzes your charging quality with the milliamps shown on the screen. You also see the current at which the battery discharges and the app also displays the temperature of your smartphone and it assesses the health of your battery. If the voltage when charging is too high, you will also see this in Ampere. With all this information you can find out for yourself which combination of chargers and cables gives the best result for your smartphone.

Pro Features

That becomes even easier when you unlock the Pro features of this app, because then you get access to notifications. This way you are always aware of detailed information when charging, and you also get to see when your smartphone is fully charged. You can also receive those notifications on your Wear OS watch. In addition, there is also a widget that immediately informs you of the charging performance. Finally, with the Pro version you automatically remove all advertisements. It is a one-time purchase of 1.21 euros.
