Tracks you outside of app. Keeps asking to enable "Motion and Fitness" – C25K® 5K Trainer Pro Review

The app works to perform the basic C25K program. That is a plus. Now the major problem: **STILL doing this after latest update** The app continues to access GPS when the app is in the background, even when you are NOT tracking a workout. The only way to get the app to stop using GPS is to disable its GPS access entirely (which would reduce the accuracy of tracking when using the app) or to force close the app. I'm not sure if this is a bug or Zenlabs is unethically mining information about its users. I can't believe I paid for such a sloppy app. I was fooled by the good reviews. Update: I received a message from the developers telling me to go to settings -> privacy -> location services -> C25K and set gps access for C25K to “while using the app”. I already had that option set. The issue persists. I have also update my phone, uninstalled the app, reinstalled the app... the whole shebang... the app continues to try to track me inappropriately if I don’t force close the app when I’m done. It performs identically on my wife’s phone as well.
