Haven't used it (haven't got a "smart" phone), but physics dictates that if a device is constantly sending out radio waves to find and communicate with surrounding devices, that will use power. That app apparantly uses Bluetooth to find surrounding phones, hence lots more Bluetooth radio waves coming from it, hence more power consumption. -- __ __ #_ < |\| |< _#
