Battery and Heat Improvements

Shared by Cory •

After a hot summer in the field, we reviewed every background action and made each one more efficient. We've made several significant improvements throughout the app that reduce overall energy use.

  • GPS: The most precise location setting only runs when a task needs it.
  • Cellular: The app connects less often and sends only what's needed.
  • Background activity: We've reduced unnecessary redraws when idle or covered by another screen.
  • Syncing: Data syncs less often and in smaller amounts.
  • Screen: Optimized rendering of various screens and UI elements in the map.

We'll keep improving performance, especially on older phones.
