Battery usage

Really enjoy using this app, & as an Android user, the iOS theme is a nice departure. Only minor gripe would be the battery usage, its quite a bit higher than most of the other apps I've tried. I realise the Android app release is new, so could possibly be optimised a bit more down the road? Thanks for the app, its a winner.👍🏼

I have personally not seen a big hit to my battery life since I started using voyager a month ago. I haven't looked at at individual app battery usage but the screen on time is similar to before and voyager is one of my most used apps.
- I'm referring to the Android app that was released less than 2 weeks ago...
  
  It's the same thing as the web version, really. I would not expect there to be any performance (including battery usage) performance since fundamentals it's the same code running the same way.
  
  Yeah I switched to that as well when it came out and I see no battery drain difference between the pwa and the native app. Maybe it is an issue because of the way the software on your phone handles battery optimisation. Could help the dev look into it if you add phone model and Android version(and if it stock or some other rom).
  
  Edit - By specifying your hardware may help you to find out if others with same or similar hardware are also facing the issue
Not bad in my opinion.
Do you use an app cleaner?
- I do have one, or clear the cache manually
