I personally mainly use GPSLogger on my phone. I had one problem with it but this is remedied in V136 of it and now it can use the HTTP File Upload which brings the battery usage down a lot. So in my experience this works really well. There is also an autoconfig button. You can open the Integrations Settings page on your phone and press the button. This will configure GPSLogger so you do not have to enter the address and the auth token by hand.

I would check the settings afterwards. I have set mine to not report anything with more than 25m accuracy. And upload the data once an hour.
