    Does this program act as a driver/custom power profile that improves battery life, or is it simply bloatware that should be uninstalled?

    It definitely doesn't improve battery life by a noticeable margin. It's been tested by myself and another user and we've had different results - one saw slight improvement (but it was marginal) and the other none at all.

    I uninstalled the app - the way I see it it does nothing or at best next to nothing.
