Open racuna opened 11 years ago

11 years ago I'm not sure what you are suggesting with your first point. If you need the app, you can either ignore the recommendation or hide it within Carat.
As for providing public rankings, I would only say that our goal is not publicity, and I see no merit in shaming app developers until we can provide them with the information and tools they need to fix the problems.

11 years ago I understand you, but, is not for shaming developers, is just for let him know if his app causes a battery drain. Besides, maybe your goal is not publicity, but if more people use Carat, the statistics would be better (i think).
Anyway, great job. Carat is a must in every phone I have.

11 years ago I think what you're suggesting---direct developer notification, rather than open publication---is a good idea. I would still prefer to have more fine-grained diagnosis for developers before we do that, though.

11 years ago yeah, sounds great.
I get "Kill Whatsapp for 1h 25m" of battery (for example).. but I need whatsapp for being in contact with my friends and family.
And option to report in Play Market to the developers of the app would be great, or just put on your webpage a ranking of Hogs or most consuming battery apps. A ranking like that will fill a lot of blogs and newspapers.
