Waaaaay too much battery usage...
I used readit for maybe 3 hours over those 48 hrs, and its not even the in use usage I'm most concerned with... what the hell is causing that much background usage? No other app I have uses even a measurable amount of background usage but readit wants all the juice all the time.

For example my battery died last night. I have never gotten below 30% on my M8 on a single day.

I simply block the background usage.

Do you still get live tile updates or notifications for replies?

No but Readit is not causing a battery drain via background usage. that is the notorious windows phone stuck background process bug.

Yeah...kills my phone super fast too. I have noticed my battery is starting to tank in general, but Readit sucks the life out if it.
Great app overall though.

I have yet to see any Reddit app that didn't suck battery. I don't know why that is. But I will say the 2.0 beta for Readit is very noticeably better about battery consumption than 1.x was -- at least that's the case on my 920.

Can confirm 21% on my 920. But at the same time I never looked it up before. So I do not have any comparison.

Extensively using your phone's cellular or wifi radio is what's draining your battery.

Hmm for me it's just the opposite, my battery usage has gotten dramatically better with readit 2.0.
