  1. [R2] Magic Charger-Charge Animation 4/5 · US Awesome!!!: I love this app but under the manga category the only thing there is dragon ball z and Naruto. and there are a lot more anime/ manga out there. But overall great app
  2. [R4] Magic Charger-Charge Animation 1/5 · US Horrible: This app was horrible you need an app to unlock everything, and the ad couldn’t even load and it keeps asking for premium. Just horrible. Go make an actual good app
  3. [R15] Magic Charger-Charge Animation 3/5 · US Interesting: I like it so far just really having trouble with the compression when I make my own animation it turns a 4K video worse a d way more pixelated, anyone know if there’s a way I can fix this or pre compress the video
  4. [R18] Magic Charger-Charge Animation 3/5 · US Little iffy 😩: K so it’s great and all BUT don’t get the app cos every couple of swipes and BOOM ad. :( and there not many chargers / idea: maybe for all FNAF fans add some FNAF theme plz🙏 also there like a LOT of “ WaCtH aD ToUnLoCk” crap and it’s annoying
  5. [R3] Magic Charger-Charge Animation 3/5 · US Just an app but decent : Butter Girl reviews: This app is great but has some problems like when I opened the app and it did not have numbers I was native to like 1 2 3 instead it had chinese numbers and I tried to fix it but I couldn’t. So I am very disappointed.🙁🙁🙁☹️☹️☹️ It was annoying how you have to go into shortcuts and set stuff up so that you can see the charging animations. SO annoying! I
  6. [R6] Magic Charger-Charge Animation 3/5 · US Meh: It works kinda It just gave me a notification that my shortcut was running and didn’t actually do it
  7. [R9] Magic Charger-Charge Animation 3/5 · US Decent: It is a very cool app but when it does the animation it takes me straight to the app.Also it does not tell the right present of battery.
  8. [R21] Magic Charger-Charge Animation 3/5 · US Good: It was a little bit hard to do
  9. [R5] Magic Charger-Charge Animation 5/5 · US It’s not working: Whenever I look at the thing that says for free to watch, add, it says sorry there’s no ads to watch
  10. [R10] Magic Charger-Charge Animation 2/5 · US NOOO: I do not recommend because I was like Oh I found a cute animation but then… THE FREAKING ADS WOULDNT LOAD!!!! It’s cute and all but I can only scroll for entertainment!! PLEASE FIX THE ADS!!!!!
  11. [R11] Magic Charger-Charge Animation 5/5 · US Good and bad: It works very well but my phone is hot
  12. [R1] Magic Charger-Charge Animation 1/5 · US Not a good app: There are way to many adds you can never get write in the app without at least 2 adds. I would not recommend this app!
  13. [R33] Magic Charger-Charge Animation 3/5 · US Wow…. I’m surprised: When I saw an ad for this app I was interested. But I saw bad reviews… I still download out of curiosity. And it really worked! It’s just… way to many ads and also to much advertising of the premium.
  14. [R16] Magic Charger-Charge Animation 1/5 · US TRASH AND DOESNT WORK: This is the worst app ever. I got a subscription and everything just for nothing to happen. I think ive said enough
  15. [R22] Magic Charger-Charge Animation 1/5 · US Didn’t work.: This app did not work one bit I would try to watch an ad to get a free one but it kept saying “ad loading failure” or something so I would not recommend also similar things have been happening to other people so please fix this glitch(s).
  16. [R39] Magic Charger-Charge Animation 3/5 · US Ehh: Well it’s honestly pretty good but mostly everything includes a purchase or an ad to unlock. It’s easy to set up but it’s not very fun when like 89% of the charging screens are a purchase but I get that you want to make profit but maybe make less thing require a purchase. This game isn’t a must but if you like it keep it, have a good day! 😜
  17. [R42] Magic Charger-Charge Animation 3/5 · US It doesn’t work (this is a fake): So I saw ad and it looked cool. So I looked at the reviews they were pretty good. When I got on the app most of the charger modes were premium. But eventually I found a good one. It showed 2 ads when it was only supposed to show me 1. I set up everything and when I put my phone on charger it didn’t work. And the game was glitching. This was a fake for me.
  18. [R40] Magic Charger-Charge Animation 2/5 · US You’re high if you’re charging $56 a year: This is a cool idea but stay in your lane. You’d probably make millions if you made it like $6.99 for the year with in app exclusive purchases but you went too high on the monthly. I won’t pay a dime for this at your rates. Cool idea though but greedy price structure.
  19. [R72] Battery Charging Animation・Up 3/5 · US Subscription 2 high: It’s a pretty sweet app like awesome amazing idea but $8.99 a week is a little ridiculous. That’s why I only gave it three stars.
  20. [R82] Battery Charging Animation・Up 1/5 · GB This is an excuse for an app: When you plug your phone in shortcuts asks you if you want to open the app and I was a little disappointed until I saw the actual animations which were horrible and the subscription ARE YOU TAKING THE MIC 10 pounds this app is a joke
  21. [R88] Battery Charging Animation・Up 1/5 · GB £10 a week? Phones has to be unlocked too?!: Absolute con, used for about 5 mins, the fact you can see your % increases in 0.001% increments is cool but you have to unlock your phone so the app will come up to show the animation… I’m not leaving my phone unlocked so anyone can swipe up onto my main screen… such a waste… be free at least your content isn’t worth the battery it wastes
  22. [R27] Magic Charger-Charge Animation 3/5 · US Why: When I got the app it seemed fun to have an animation play when I charged my phone but when I did all the steps it was annoying that sometimes when it would put up the animation adds and extra would pop up so it would cancel out the animation 😕
