MaxPass-How much time are you on your phone

[Niltiac]

I'm round and round about the FP alarm for myself. Don't have to check the time which is nice- but I would HATE anyone who had an alarm go off in the middle of a ride, and I wouldn't much like my own alarm going off in the middle of a ride either...

I actually wish they would implement this as a feature of the app. I would think they could offer alarms for when you're eligible for the next FP as well as when a current FP window is about to open, so you don't have to remember what time they are. It could be a vibrate-only alarm and/or a notification that pops up on your screen so you can just glance at your phone rather than opening the app to double check times. I haven't used MP yet, but I know that when I'm holding multiple FP I'm pretty obsessive about double checking the times throughout the day to make sure I haven't forgotten one. They could even offer settings to alert you when a certain ride has a low standby wait time. I seem to remember that the Universal app offers that, though I tried it.

I was on my phone quite a bit more (judging by my battery usage) than before MP. I was a bit surprised as I've always been a big 'wait time checker' on various apps to decide our next FP/standby move so I didn't think using MP would change my overall battery life since I figured I'd probably just be swapping the usage on checking for wait times for the usage in getting MPs . Other than that and pics I'm not a 'stuck to the screen' guest and I really didn't think I used my phone more than I normally do but I guess I must have. I will put a bit of my usage down to frequent (ok, constant) checking and refreshing for GotG MAD for 16 minutes starting around 2.45, but I've never before had to 'juice up' during a day at DL and normally leave at the end of the night with around 20% battery left at closing. Using MP I got down to 17% and was 'juicing up' by around 5pm with my portable charger.

i would love it if they could do a version of the app that worked with smart watches for Maxpass notifications.
