Location Svcs is a drawback – Massachusetts Alerts Review

The app itself does what it is supposed to do and can be quite useful. But the fact that it requires battery-draining ‘Location Services’ to be ‘always on’ is a drawback. I realize that for its ability to limit alerts only to your immediate location this may be necessary but I haven't seen an indication it uses a geofence approach to minimize GPS usage. Perhaps an option to provide alerts only to saved locations (allowing the user to turn off Location Services when at such a location) would be workable?
