Disregard’s User Privacy – Mighty Networks Review

A podcast I follow recently suggested we listeners use this app to connect. I downloaded it for that. The most important issue I have with this app, above all UI or usability complaints is its lack of respect for my privacy. This app publicly posts your location by default, without asking or alerting the user’s attention. It bypasses Apple’s restrictions because it uses your device’s IP address to approximate your location instead of the location services api that Apple provides. If I were an Apple app reviewer, I’d remove this app from App Store for this reason until this action is stopped.
