13 of the Best Battery Saver Apps

Before we discuss some of these awesome battery saver apps, we just want to make sure that you know something about your phone’s battery and how it uses power.

One of the biggest culprits on running your phone battery down is brightness. If you can dim the light a bit, your phone’s battery will last quite a bit longer.

Some phones have an auto-brightness feature; if you select this option, it adjusts the light on your display according to how much ambient light there is around you, thus saving energy.

Here are some other tips for saving battery power without an app:

  • Turn down the frequency when you are going to sync data.
  • Try not to use your phone in the cold – this is a big battery stopper. Always aim for room temperature as any extreme temperature, cold or hot, can adversely affect the battery.
  • Some apps still have bugs and can drain your battery. If you think your battery is losing steam quickly, go check the apps you’ve used recently to see which one is using up the most data and maybe find another alternative to that app.
  • Getting tons of messages (which lights up your display) while your phone is locked is another problem. Your phone should have a “notifications” setting which you can set to “do not display” while your phone is locked.
  • As each phone iteration makes it to the market, new advanced features that you have been waiting for can also be the reason your phone shuts down after five hours.

These manual solutions will help your battery to a point, but there are also apps that make it even better.

And now here are our picks with a quick review for each app…
