Hi, I really don't think the savings are much better if better at all than what I stated. You might loose an hour tops. And I'm being generous. Almost no power is being used when a BT device isn't actually paired and in use with your iPhone. I would hope the user has the common sense if their battery is running down, and they are not going to be in a position to charge, that they would turn off bluetooth, and not use BT devices anyway which way. *shrug*.
As far as security goes, I guess. It's like a risk reward thing. The chances of your phone being compromised via bluetooth is so low, I couldn't even begin to guess the chances of it actually happening. Just the huge number of devices using bluetooth makes your chances good. Not to mention, the relatively low number of people that would know how to exploit you leaving bluetooth on. But that being said, if the person goes for long stretches of time without using bluetooth, this app would be kind of pointless, no? I would think this was for those who toggled BT on/off quite frequently. But either which way, its up to the individual what they decide to do with their phone. JMO.
