Actively tracks location. No thanks. – SPACE - Break phone addiction Review

App will not work unless you let it continually track your location. Not in the background. It tracks your every movement as if you were using your gps. I’m not interested in giving out that information. Forget for a second the battery drain this causes. With all the nefarious data collection we are learning about right now, I’m not interested in providing this information to a random developer who says “our app won’t work without it” There can only be three reasons they would say “it won’t work”: 1. It’s a lie. It could in fact be made to do so, but they won’t do it. They want the data for reasons likely inherent to their business model. In this case they are dishonest and can’t be trusted with said data. 2. They can’t figure out how to do it. In which case, they are incompetent and shouldn’t be trusted with said data. 3. It really can’t be done. They are telling the truth. Which means there is a massive inherent battery drain baked in, no matter what. In which case, their app is broken and it’s not worth it to trust them with said data.
