Inconsistent recently: location issues – Charity Miles Review

I’ve been using this app for years. I love it, and I love the idea behind it. In the past month or so, however, it continually asks me to turn on location Always instead of just While Using App. I don’t want it to know my location Always. So now it often records only a portion of the miles I have walked. Five years ago, the app worked fine without knowing my location Always. Why has it been updated so that it no longer works in this way?
