Battery-eating spyware – Magic Life Counter Review

I used this app for a few years, paid to remove ads, and found it very handy. The only drawback was that it used insane amounts of battery power when running. After a recent iOS upgrade I noticed excessive battery drainage, even with no apps running, so I started poking around. While testing some things I opened this app and found, deep in the settings menu, "Opt-in to Ad Tracking." It was on by default. I turned it off, quit and restarted the app, and checked that setting again. It had turned itself back on. I deleted this app, and suddenly my battery is lasting much longer than it has in years. So this is a great, full-featured M:tG life counter, but it also sells your data and guzzles your battery. I consider that a bad trade.
