The app's interface is good like the online one, and it's good at scrobbling from external apps, but this feature drains battery like crazy. Over eight hours, I noticed it had consumed 19% of my battery (while I was doing nothing, not playing music, 30min SOT) from it constantly checking if music is playing from only one app. It needs some serious optimization, and I would be surprised if there aren't any frameworks to check for music that are much more efficient, especially on modern Android.

Hi, usually the app shouldn't consume so much battery (as verified from our internal testing). Can you try updating the app to latest version and see if it makes any difference? Let us know if you face any issues at support@metabrainz.org.

Impossible to stay logged in. When you start it up it tells you to log in at the website then "follow the instructions and return here to authorise". There are no instructions. There is no identifiable way of connecting the app. It doesn't return you to the app so you can do any authorising. Does anyone test it before releasing?
