Hello,
Which impact has the location feature in the Android app on the battery? I'd like to check the locations more often but I don't want that my battery will be empty too soon.
Thanks and best regards!

Hi annoerr,
The GPS option has more to do with affecting your battery than the frequency you use to check the locations. You may find that checking every 5 or 10 minutes works well enough without GPS.
Keep in mind that without GPS your location may not always be the most accurate, so you may want to make sure your location radius is wide enough. :)
Hope that helps!
