Hatch eggs faster and more efficiently! This app tracks your speed and sends you a notification when you are moving too fast to hatch eggs. This can be used while running or biking. We recommend a speed threshold of 10.5 km/h. This threshold can be customized by the user. The speed notifications include custom sounds so that you know to slow down without having to look at your device. Note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. HatchMyEggs will automatically power down use of location services if you haven't moved for a while.
