Ratings and reviews

Installed this app and uninstalled it after it wouldn't track without allowing permission for Alarms & Reminders. I will not allow that permission simply for the fact that Alarms & Reminders override the Do Not Disturb setting. I do not want to be disturbed when I am on sleeper birth. Edit: If the permission is only used to wake up the app, and not to send any audible alarms, maybe explicitly state that on the page that asks for the permission. I have no problem with it if that's the case.

The app requires permission to send notifications and set alarms on my phone. I don't want the app to change anything on my phone, but if I don't give permission to change the alarm, it doesn't work. On iPhone, the API does not provide access to the alarm, and the app works without it. On Android, tracking stops working if you only give permission to access your location.

Just one more way to track you. I already pay enough for one tracking device that I'm required to have, but having my phone tracked too is a bit much. Plus all the phone calls to confirm I'm where it says I am. I think it's all BS. I might be a little more ok with the whole thing if they were the ones paying my phone bill
