App requires LOCATION services???? – LG TV Plus Review

All I was looking for is an app to act as a remote for my TV. If it needed to pair with the original TV remote that would be fine - I HAVE IT. But NOOOOO, in order to use the app I need to allow LG to TRACK MY LOCATION????! Over $3k for this ‘smart’ TV and I need to let them know where I am to be able to turn it on and off with my phone app. LG....IN THE WORLD OF IDENTITY THEFT. FIREWALLS TO PROTECT OUR PERSONAL AND FAMILY INFORMATION...THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON FOR YOUR TV REMOTE APP TO EVER CONNECT TO THE INTERNET, LET ALONE TRACK THE USER’S LOCATION. IT SOULD EITHER PAIR WITH THE ORIGINAL REMOTE OR DIRECTLY WITH THE TV VIA THE LOCAL NETWORK! FIX THIS!!!
