Good but could be better

After looking for an app to notify me when my laptop battery hit certain percentages (so I can keep the battery in the 40% - 90% range in an effort to keep the battery healthy) I settled on this app. It performs this task very well and it has other features that I don’t use much of. On the pros side, it works well on Yosemite in conjunction with notifications to tell me exactly what I wanted to know vis a vis battery percentage. It is an attractive app and has a range of plugins for monitoring other stats (I use the iStat Pro desktop widget for many of the same types of info). The developer seems fairly responsive to emails for support. On the cons side, the app hasn’t been updated in a while and isn’t fully updated for Yosemite in that on a Retina display, the menu bar icons are the large chunky non-retina-optimized icons. Also, to use the battery percentage notification, you have to tell the app to display the battery percentage, which takes up more real estate in the menu bar, and the information conflicts with Apple’s built in battery monitor (the app will say 62% while the Apple menu bar item says 65%, for example). I hope the developer releases a new version to address some of this, although none of it is of the deal breaker caliber.
