Depending of your phone model there's a chance Ares Alpha will automatically be closed after a longer standby time. Using a power bank, you will avoid this type of situation, ensuring yourself basically unlimited use of Ares during the game. * To avoid accidents during the game we recommend the use of a protective cover for your phone. * We recommend the use of a Bluetooth smart band for receiving app notifications. The app was successfully tested on a Xiaomi Mi Smart Band, but any other type that allows app notifications should work. Ares Alpha it's heavy optimized to work on areas with poor levels of phone signal. But, in the rare cases where you don't have any mobile data access, Ares Alpha won't work.
