These apps are a load of crap, all of them. They don't do anything you can't yourself. They simply save battery by turning off gps, radios, putting you in airplane mode, turning your brightness down and so on.
Now here is the great thing about the S3. You already have a 'juice defender' built in. Settings -> Power Saver. Check all or some of the options. And you didn't have to download an app that requires permissions to steal your contact info!

What covart said all they are doing is optimizing where they can and ultimate is doing alot. The built-in power saver will do the same
I have been using Juice Defender for a long time and I like it. I would say to use the free version of Juice Defender for a while than if you don't think its doing you any good, try the power saver mode on the phone. See which one works better for you. I have not tried the power saver mode yet so I can't say how well it works.

I agree. Haven't tried the power saver mode yet, but I've used Juice Defender for awhile and it worked great on my GSII. I haven't put it on the GSIII since the battery is better.
While you can do the things that Juice Defender (and possibly power saver mode) can do manually, the nice thing with Juice Defender is the automation. When you lock the screen, it turns off data/bluetooth/etc. When you wake it, it turns it back on.
