App update for better battery reporting?

[mct75]

I think it's a slight shortcoming that the only way to know the "real" state of change on the battery for my Charge HR is to plug it in.  The app reporting of Full/Medium/Low is not very specific.  "Medium" might last 3 more days, or it could die tonight. 

Would it be possible to have the app updated to pull actual battery percentage?  Or, at least the nice battery bars like on the charging screen.  It would let me know if I could actually make it another day or not.  Even better would be an estimate for runtime remaining.  I know the original goal was to avoid "battery anxiety" but it has the side effect of keeping us from knowing when to charge.

The more votes increases the chance of the developers integrate the functionality.
