Apparently a new app called Carat has ..."sufficient potential to drastically boost your iPhone’s battery life."

I was just reading an article from the Mail online regarding an app available for both Android and Apple users. Sounds interesting and its free. The reviews via iTunes are poor but elsewhere on the web it seems rated, even though bugs are apparent.
I have pasted the basics below.... Read the article and maybe try the app. Either way I hope this can help somebody.

Carat is available on Apple (Free via iTunes) and Android (Free via Google Play)

BASICS....

Engineers from California's UC Berkley have created a program that detects applications that gorge unnecessarily on a device's battery and lets users shut them down or update them.
Adam Oliner and his team unveiled Carat this week, promising their program will improve the battery life of phones, tablets and portable music players.
Since being released, more than 36,000 Android and Apple users have downloaded the app that quietly works in the background of devices, using little to no energy to work its magic.

Might work on Android but as apps on iOS don't actually use any processing power I ant really see how this works?

I'll give it a go. Looks like you need to have it running for 4 days to a week before it starts suggesting things.

Thanks for posting - but I wouldn't like to think I was basing an opinion on a Daily Mail article!

I read about it in Stuff too LOL..... I think it takes time to check your usage, etc. and I have no idea if it will have any positive effect, but anything is worth a try ;)

Hang on, if apps don't use any processing power, what DO they use?! Oompa-Loompas?
