Insurance-Forums App

[somarco]

I recently installed and configured the IF app on my Samsung. About the same time I noticed my battery life shortened and started tracking memory hogs. Deleted some apps I rarely use and then noticed I get a LOT of notifications from the forum.

I can't figure out how to limit notifications or set to manual only so I just deleted the app. Any other suggestions on installing and configuring the app in such a way as to minimize battery drain?

The answer is easy. You should work more and not play on the forum as often.

That's why I'm successful.

I agree with everything except your last sentence...

I'd like to agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.

Hey Bob,
I've used the app on my iPhone almost since it first came out. I do not get notified every time someone posts, only on the threads I monitor. I'm guessing that if you go to settings here on this site, not the mobile app, & change what is important to you, then you won't blow up your battery.

The only thing I wish is that the App mirrored the way the Forum works on my computer. I found it harder at first to find things I liked to follow on the App vs. the computer version. Of course, the computer version changed on us not long ago too & that took some getting used to. Maybe it is a "hard to teach an old dog new tricks" type of thing in my case?:(

But I now like the App version quite well. It just took a while to get used to it. Because working on a 2 x 4 inch screen is harder for me to type with, I hardly ever post from my iPhone, I just use it to read when I'm on the road

Hi Bob. Thx for the comment. I think I have posted once from my phone. My stubby fingers are too fat for posting here by phone.

Guess I subscribe to too many threads. Turning off the notifications would allow me to be an insurance forum voyeur on my phone without eating up battery time.
