I keep pressureNET running in the background on my phone. I don't get much use out of the app itself -- barometric pressures on a map aren't that useful to me, but I like contributing to the project.

I worked with the developer(s) on previous releases with custom builds and I can confirm that battery life is very respectable and that this app does not consume crazy resources. On my Galaxy Note II w/ Android 4.1.*, when my screen gobbles about 30% of my battery, pressureNET sits around 2%.

Question for the developer: Will my alpha .apk distributed to me via email automatically update to 3.1+, or do I need to remove it and jump back into the official release channel?
