Pokemon Go is a fun game for the iPhone and Android that lets you interact with Pokemon in the real world.
It rewards you for catching a large number of Pokemon, as well as interacting with waypoints called Pokestops, where you can acquire some game resources.
But due to the fact that the game rewards you for playing a lot, you may find that your battery is draining very quickly. While you may consider getting something like a portable charger, another option would be to turn on the Battery Saver option in the game.
