Creepy Stuff – Top Hat - Better Learning Review

Why does this app require me to set location services permission to “Always” and claims that it doesn’t use it outside of class and can be toggled off after my attendance is recorded? It seems like this is the perfect use for the While Using location access setting. This used to work but now whenever I try to submit my attendance it prompts me to change it to Always and will not allow me to submit my attendance until I set it to Always, whether I had previously set it to Off or to While Using. It also seems that their claim of only using my location during attendance is a complete lie, because twice I have left its location access on and got a notification from my phone saying that TopHat had been using my location in the background over the past 3 days.
