RTM app draining battery?

greggulrich Pro says:

Any else have this problem? I can't confirm that it is RTM but have been systematically removing everything from the phone in an effort to find the culprit and after adding RTM back (can't live without it :-) my battery went way down.

I have turned off notifications on the phone and finally on through RTM settings. Not sire of that matters.

If push notifications aren't affecting your battery life (since you turned them off) then there's not too much way RTM itself could be affecting it either.

Since there are no background apps allowed on the iPhone, there's no way simply having RTM installed could affect your iPhone's battery—unless, of course, you leave it running all the time?

Even if so, the Location Services would probably be the actual culprit, which RTM simply uses.

The four biggest causes of battery life problems that I've heard about: Location Services/Bluetooth/3G/Wi-Fi (i.e. unnecessary/extra connections), Push notifications, screen brightness, and aggressive fetch settings on email accounts.

Since RTM uses push notifications and Location services, you may notice problems through those two, but you can turn both off. In your case, I'd suspect the latter two causes might be the problem for you.

Hope this helps!
