Add complications for energy bar on iPhone lock screen
complete
Frederik Born
Thanks for adding this but it doesn’t refresh . It says 73% but when I open the app it’s already at 53%
Randell
Frederik Born: Hi, when you tap on the Lock Screen Energy Bar widget does it not sync with the app's Energy Bank value?
Does it not update at all? How long have you had your Energy Bank widget on your lock screen?
Frederik Born
Randellit updates then but isn’t the purpose of the lock screen widget to show me the correct value without opening the app?
Randell
Frederik Born: Yes. Are you saying that the widget doesn't update at all by itself right after you've done that?
Can you please try to remove and add your Widget again? Try to open the Bevel app first and load Energy bank before adding your Widget lock screen again.
If this doesn't fix it and it still won't update by itself. Can you try to restart your phone?
Frederik Born
Randelli tried that it doesn’t work. I have this problem with other apps too btw. Especially complications on the watch not updating regularly
Randell
Frederik Born: Gotcha. For Complications - Unfortunately, this is a limitation of watchOS and IOS Widgets. It can take some time to sync the data, 15-30' interval.
Frederik Born
Randellthank you for the info. Apple should change that. It also takes forever if I input something on the watch and then sync to the phone (not related to your app) it’s very applying and makes it a bit pointless sometimes
Randell
Frederik Born: Totally understand where you are coming from with this.
Have you tried checking your "Enable Background App Refresh" it might help you
Settings > General > Background App Refresh.
Note: This can drain your battery and use up your data. depends on your settings.
Are you currently using IOS 18?
Frederik Born
Randellyeah it’s enabled by default. I run the beta but I always had this problem. It’s very frustrating
Frederik Born
Randellso is it fixable on your side or is it an iOS 18.1 beta thing?
Frederik Born
Randelloh btw: the regular widget DOES refresh in the background
Frederik Born
Randelloff topic but will you make this app available on android wearos?
Randell
Frederik Born IOS 18 is in Beta and not yet officially out, it is expected to have issues.
The Bevel app store version doesn’t fully support IOS 18 yet as well. However, we do have plans to release an update to support it soon in preparation for the IOS 18 once it is released to the public.
For your other question, We don’t have plans yet for the app’s Android version at the moment.
