v 4.3.0

Hey Kilowatt fans, we've got some electrifying updates for you!

New Widget: Peek at your charging session right from your home screen. No need to open the app – it's like having a tiny Kilowatt on standby!

Estimated Charge Level: Ever wonder how much juice you've got mid-charge? Now you can see your estimated current charge level in real-time.

Futuristic Alarm: By popular demand (okay, one very persistent request – you know who you are!), we've added a new, less startling alarm sound. It's more "welcome to the future" and less "wake up, your car's being stolen!"

We hope these new features make your charging sessions even more enjoyable. Happy charging, and may your batteries always be full when you need them!
