I'm guessing this, like other geofencing activities, is heavy on battery? Does it only trigger once a day (in the morning or whatever) and then stop checking your location?

Maybe I should just download it and try it...

I've been using it for the last few weeks and it's really not bad. Eager to hear your experience with it — jake [at] news.me

and here's the smarter answer from @tolar: Geofencing typically relies on cell tower changes, a coarser measure of location than GPS, but one that saves on battery life.
