Data usage & battery life
Depending on your phone model, the app uses approximately 4% of battery per hour when it uses foreground battery mode, in line with social platform apps (when you are actively using the app, taking photos, browsing or creating comments). However, once minimised, the app shifts to background battery mode, using less than 2% per hour.
Data sent to and from the app is compressed and encrypted to minimise data usage. Expected data usage for moderate activity is less than 0.5 to 1mb per day. Moderate activity includes multiple check in and check outs, adding photos and creating comments.
How do I check in to a site if my mobile phone runs out of battery life?
