Update - Thanks for the response. I figured out the issue. I noticed that when I was launching the app, it was launching my browser. I think I was stuck in OpenStreetMap after signing in. I had to hit back multiple times to get back to the actual Deflock app. The app works great, OpenStreetMap was really difficult to use on mobile.

Edit: aha! Yes, that's why we made the app! Glad you got it sorted.

Downloaded the app, opened it, the entire map is blank, shows error message saying the app doesn't follow the policy or something. Good idea, but something somewhere seems to have broken. Will redownload and update review if this changes.

We've been in contact with OSM the past day and have fixed this; release 2.7.2 rolling out right now. In the meantime, OSM were gracious enough to grant us a temporary exception. App should be working as of now, and will continue to so long as you update. My apologies for the issue; pretty embarrassing mistake on my part.

Raising from 4 to 5 stars. Previous gripes about the app no linger apply, and the latest update makes it sooo much more user friendly. Would still like location accuracy to stop popping up every 10s though.

Edit: Thanks for the revision! You should now be able to sign up for OpenStreetMap over a VPN too by the way! If you fully deny location permission, it should stop popping up asking you.. I haven't been able to get imprecise / approximate location working correctly and apparently if that's all you give, it'll just keep asking. My bad. Watch for v3.
