Double your phone's standby battery life by making sure that Wi-Fi and other energy vampires are active only when you need them. Stick with the "balanced" profile for a modest improvement, or upgrade (for $4.99) to a version that sets rules for specific apps, day versus night usage, and more.

WIRED Tells you how much juice you're saving. Activity log shows which processes it's killing.

TIRED Halted connections can mean delayed notifications. Glitchy interface occasionally renders buttons inaccessible.
