There isn’t much to the Beer Battery app. It tells you how much power you have left in your device in the form of a glass of beer. If your device is charging, the glass gets more full and bubbly and the actual percentage of charging is displayed at the top of the screen.
One of the best features of this app is that when you tap the screen for more information, the program gives you time estimates for performing certain tasks. This is pretty useful since I’m not always near a charger for my phone and if I’m commuting from work (train ride), then I can decide if its worth completely depleting my power before I get home playing that 3D game.
The only real issue with beer battery is that it performs a simplistic function that is available in a ton of applications (including many of the "multiple apps in one" applications). One idea might be to also show the space usage on the device so you know how many more songs or movies you can put on it before running out of space (but then you probably couldn’t call it Beer Battery). Other than that, it performs one function and it does it well.
