Tried it the last time I saw it it posted. Be warned, this takes a huge amount of battery life to run in the back ground. So much so I had to stop playing.

This was already fixed like month ago! It was mostly happening on Pixel devices only.
Give a try to the new version, it shouldn’t use much battery at all now.

Does the app need to be open (like old PokeGo…) or does it just track in the background?

Doesn’t need to be, and designed around the idea that it is closed when you’re exercising. Can be entirely closed, and still tracks the steps.

May I ask what the reason for the battery drain was?

I seriously have no idea. The Pixels had something weird going on when we wanted to keep track of the steps, and it drained a lot of battery. On other devices, it was not an issue. When I made the frequency of getting the steps lower, that fixed it.
