Carat for iPhone/iPad 1.0.7

Carat is an app which generates personalized recommendations for improving battery life. If you are wondering why your battery is draining so quickly, just install Carat, open it every few days so it can send data to the developers' servers, and within a week Carat will start recommending actions and even predicting the improvements you will see. 

As you use your mobile device, Carat occasionally takes measurements about your device and how it is being used. These measurements are sent to the developers' servers, where advanced algorithms are applied to determine how devices are using energy and under what circumstances. The results of these analyses are then sent back to the app, which can give you feedback and actionable advice about how to improve your battery life.

Carat collects instrumentation data from the community of devices where it is installed. Nothing it collects identifies you, personally. The data is processed by the Carat Server, and stored. A Spark-powered analysis tool extracts key statistical values and metrics from the data. These are shown in the reports in the Carat app, and used to recommend actions for increased battery life and better user experience.

Here are some key features of "Carat for iPhone/iPad":
