Pros

Small, portable, useful. Well worth the inexpensive pricetag. This is a handy device for any person that owns usb devices. Small enough that i carry it my backpack at all times now.

Display is very legible outside and backlight is nice to have. Only downside is the lcd backlight should stay on longer, or better idea, have a switch for changing between momentary on, or always on.

    I have chargers that will keep up with the max draw on the phone but not the ipad

    Reading could use more smoothing but quite useful to get at least a ballpark idea if portable devices are charging and if they are doing so at standard usb 500 ma rate or at an accelerated one as most wall chargers support

    For most applications it will be great but im using it primarily to help me align a portable solar panel array and the ports are under the panels which makes it hard to read the display as i make angle adjustments
