I love my recon jet, and what I can do with it while riding or running. However this app drained 40% of my battery in an hour and a half, even when I wasnt using the app or the recon jet headset. I connected my iPhone with my headset using this app and used it for a ride. The next day, while not using the app, I noticed the battery was draining precipitously. When checking battery usage the phone reported that 60% of my battery usage in the last 24 hours had been from the engage app. The settings have to be changed to allow engage to use location services only when the app is running. Im not sure if this will solve the problem, but anything that drains have my battery before Ive even had lunch is not worth it.
