Just upgraded from Watts 1.3.2 to 1.3.3 today. The upgrade went fine, but after the upgrade, Watts of not appear on the Menu Bar as it was in 1.3.2

There is nowhere I can find Watts 1.3.3 on my Desktop at all. However, Watts run in Activity monitor

Help please. What to do to run 1.3.3 properly. My system is Macbook Pro 15 inches Intel early 2008, running Lion 10.7.3

Same issue. Killed v1.3.3 and returned to 1.3.2. Hope there will be a new update very soon.

I have had just the same issue, and I have gone back to the 1.3.2 version thanks to Timemachine.

You may download from binarytricks. com a new version 1.3.3 (48) which seems to work fine.

I'm overall very happy with this application, I just miss two features:

1. I don't want anything in the menu bar, there should really be an option to disable the icon;
2. If I wanted something in the menu bar, the icon would be more than enough, I do not want to see any percentage (if we had the option to disable the icon completely, this could be achieved with the OS standard functionality).

Hope to see an update addressing these points soon!

better look than basic apple battery status and useful notifications, calibration - after visible changes

Like earlier reviewer, outgoing connection detected. Blocked it but
would still launch.

Then the spinning beachballs of death....every....single....time....you....click.....some...thing.

Moved to AppZapper and delete. Emptied trash.

Good premise but until the developer gets the code right, stay clear of this.

Downloaded for the first time today. Fired it up, blocked an outgoing connection by the app in Little Snitch, and it quit. App no longer launches now (nothing happens) so straight in the trash.

And I assume you used CleanApp to make sure there's no bits left behind ...

Still not fixed in version 1.0.9:

"Calibration process not detected correctly when the MacBook starts with a power up after Step 5".

Had to find and delete the Calibrations History log file (thanks, Cocoatech) before Watts would stop perstering me for a new calibration, 1 day after the last one.
Please fix.

Well, just 2 hours later, same problem. Tried deleting all associated files that iTrash was able to detect. No avail. Trashed the whole thing, although I'd prefer a permanent fix over the Golden Shot!
