Android Mobile ReadyCLOUD app battery drain

Had the ReadyCLOUD app (Version 1.2.7) installed on my Samsung Galaxy S5 (OS 6.0.1 Marshmallow) over the past few days trying to get my Hitachi 2TB drive to show up on the app when connected to the R6400 Netgear router (yet to be a success). I noticed the next day after installing the readycloud app the battery life on my phone had significantly reduced. However, like the original post I figured it was just due to my phone being archaic. I checked today to see what was causing the battery to be drained in 6 hours vs 16-18 hours (normal use). The result was the netgear application. I went in the settings to look for a way to try and disable it from running in the background. I was not able to find any setting to solve the issue. I went ahead and forced the app to stop and thought that would take care of it until I restarted my phone. I was wrong because I checked the battery drain again 30 minutes later and the app was back running and draining the battery. Needless to say the issue is definitely something that needs attention and until the solution is presented I am following the others in the uninstallation of the application.
