Voyager seems to constantly use sensor

I’m guessing it uses that to sense rotation.
Accelerometers are not usually a major power drain.
I would have thought that this is up to the OS.
My phone is portrait locked though. So it shouldn't be sensing anything.
Especially if it's on the counter not moving.
The app supports rotation and is checking the sensor.
The app shouldn’t be polling the sensor when rotation is disabled, because rotation will never be required when the setting is disabled.
I can reword this a few ways to help you comprehend it if necessary. Maybe in a different language?
