This article will help you set up your device to get the most out of onX Hunt. For onX Hunt to work properly, location services need to be turned on in your device, and the onX Hunt App must have permission to use them.
Most mobile devices have features designed to save as much power as possible and extend your battery life, but these features can cause your location to be less accurate and may cause the Tracker to work incorrectly.
Finally, freeing up disk space on your device will ensure that the onX Hunt App has enough storage to run smoothly.

Turn on your device's location services:
To get to your device's location services, open the iPhone or iPad's Settings menu and tap "Privacy," then tap "Location services."
If your location services are turned off, turn them on to fix the problem. If location services are already turned on, let's check to make sure the onX Hunt App has permission to use them.
Give the onX Hunt App permission to use your device's location services:
In the Location Services menu, scroll down and tap "onX Hunt." Make sure "Allow Location Access" is set to "Always."
Turn off low power mode:
In low power mode, your iPhone or iPad's location will be less accurate. To turn off low power mode, return to the main settings menu, tap "Battery," then turn off Low Power Mode.

Each Android device is a little different, so double-check your device's owner's manual for any other power or battery saving features.
Free up disk space
