Hey all!
I love being able to remotely check my battery level and turn on climate control, but I've always found the Android app to be a little quirky. All I use it for is checking updates and toggling A/C, so it seems overkill to have to open the app and wait for it to update just to figure out how much juice I have left. A real first world problem, I know.
Instead, I put together a custom Android app that updates in the background and gives me a persistent notification with an AC toggle button. As an added bonus, it also works on my Wear watch! Here are some pics:

This app works by directly using the web API, same as your browser uses when you check online. All data is securely sent between the phone and Nissan's servers, and no data is collected/transmitted outside of that. If you don't believe me, here's the source code: https://github.com/jaxbot/wear-LeafStatus" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
