You must disable this battery saving feature on a per app basis. Vendors and versions are slightly different but basically you follow this (this is for Samsung Galaxy 8 and 9):Go to Settings -> Apps -> find Chaser Location in the list -> press Battery (Allow background activity may be checked, ignore that setting! ) -> press Optimize Battery usage -> set pulldown to All -> Find Chaser Location in the list again and UNCHECK the setting.That will let it run in the background without being killed off after a couple hours.***Note: If you are not seeing your location on SpotterNetwork or any of the feeds but this app shows success. Please go to the SpotterNetwork website and manually enter your starting position once. New accounts must do this only once and then you will show.Also: Be aware that you must submit 5 quality reports before you will show up on the map. Please make sure you meet this requirement before looking for your dot on the map.2019 All Rights Reserved - ApexiceUpdated to the latest Android version and to support the https SpotterNetwork interface.

How do i pull up the GPS as shown on the picture?
Update 02-22-2014: Worked with the developer on a problem and he was very nice on getting me up and running. There seems to be a minor problem with the galaxy S4 (not all of them, just a few) and he sent me an earlier version. I installed it and all works well. This is the best service I have ever had on working on an app problem. Raised the 2 start to a 4 star. Thank you very much.
Not posting to map nobody can see where I am at unless I post on a computer.
Did everything it says to do in the instructions and I still cant see my location on Spotter Network. Using a HTC 1
Will not update spotter network just says i have the wrong username
This app has yet to show my current location on the map. I suspect I need the full Windows Client for that option, as far as I can tell it's not showing because the website SN isn't showing me as active. If the app had a FULL interface with SN I'd give it 6 stars.
