This is my problem with the app. The only reason I'm going to be in public for a 15 minute period at the moment is either being on or waiting for public transport or eating in a food court. In those cases I'm going to be using my phone to browse the net or watch a video meaning that this app won't be functional. At least on iOS, so what is the point?


That's why an OS solution is the only viable solution. Asking for the app to be open is the most ridiculous thing ever.


That doesn't follow at all. Open or not has nothing to do with it. It simply means the app is badly designed.


No, you can't keep an app permanently running in the background on iOS. The operating system does not allow it.
