This app was an immediate download when I upgraded my Pixel. My last battery line app didn't offer customization for rounded corners, and since I installed PowerLine, I've never looked back. The only option that I ask for is more customization on what happens when the device is being charged? The animation is distracting to me, but I wouldn't mind being able to set it to the 'high value color,' or even an entirely different color.

It's a nice, simple, and reliable app for screen time tracking and I love that the bar is always visible and can be made narrower or wider, or customized into various colors based on where in your daily usage you are. All in all, it's a well-made, stable, and helpful app with good customization options.

UPDATE TO PREVIOUS 1 STAR REVIEW. I thought the developers removed the ability to set colors using RGB codes. They responded immediately with an explanation. Since the update you have to have the phone in landscape position to see the code entry line. I never had to do that before. The feature is indeed still available. To the developers, I am sorry for the bad review and have corrected my mistake. Thank you for answering so quickly.
