Default VTOK keeping phone awake & draining battery?

Can someone else who's running VTOK confirm that your phones awake time is almost identical to the uptime? I've noticed the program is running all the time, even though I'm not even signed in to it. I deleted it about half an hour ago & my phone is finally showing that it's not awake all the time.

Is it the program that's running or the service? You know it has to be on for you to receive video chat requests.

Don't remember. That's the thing though, I was signed out & didn't want it on unless I knew I was going to make a video call. It starts automatically & ran no matter what.

I've emailed the developer & I hope they respond

Another app that seems to always be running is Movies by Flixster. I run this app once in a blue moon yet it seems to always have a process & a service running. Same with TeleNav & I don't use that at all!
