🚫 How to Disable Battery Optimization for SailPro on Android

Why this matters:
To give you the best sailing experience, SailPro uses your device's GPS and audio features in real time—even when your screen is off or you're using other apps.
However, some Android phones try to "save battery" by stopping apps like SailPro from running in the background. This can cause issues with:

  • ✅ Audible Countdown Timer

  • ✅ Audible Boat Speed

  • ✅ Race Tracking

  • ✅ Other GPS-based features

To avoid interruptions, you’ll need to disable battery optimization for SailPro. Here’s how:

📱 Step-by-Step: Disable Battery Optimization

Step 1: Open your phone’s Settings.

Step 2: Tap on Battery or Battery & performance (wording may vary by phone brand).

Step 3: Tap Battery Optimization or App battery usage.

Step 4: Tap the dropdown or list and select All apps.

Step 5: Scroll down and find SailPro.

Step 6: Tap SailPro and select:

Don’t optimize (or Unrestricted depending on your device)

Step 7: Tap Done or go back to confirm your settings.

✅ You're All Set!

Disabling battery optimization ensures that SailPro can run continuously during your race—even when your screen is off or you're using other apps. This keeps your race tracking, countdown, and boat speed audio working as expected.
