Ratings and reviews

it is the most widely used tracking app and it used to work great. the thing that grinds my gears is the app has 1 method to stop tracking when it goes rogue and trips itself. the 3 dots when looking at a broker tracking drops a menu. select pause track and it brings up another menu that at the end has end tracking button, but I click it and done and the spinny confused buffer wheel spins forever as if it doesn't understand. i have to go to location settings now and force it to stop tracking me.

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.

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.
