Could someone tell me whether it's battery intensive for the mobile phone or the laptop? I have been hesitant to install it lest it use too much battery of my phone for just an occasional use.

When I'm listening to music the constantly changing song drains my phone's battery over the course of the day. (phone in my pocket either way). For every other use I don't notice it, and it is handy to be able to check on what my kids are doing on the computer when I'm away.
Im using it the whole day and it reports less than 0.1% battery usage (from 3000mAh) and 104 Bytes of data usage. Its probably using more than that but its definitely not something to worry about.
