Unnecessary demand for continual current location access
I drive for a living. I don’t care about a funny comment about the weather at the current tiny township I’m passing through because it will be in the rear view mirror soon enough. I want the weather 50 miles away at one of the locations I entered in the settings. But this app demands to look up the weather for my current location upon every startup and refuses to default to a preset location.
For being designed in such a presumptuous way, it gets a single star.
Reply to Dev: I thought I was clear. It’s not about foreground / background location lookup, it’s about pushing a location lookup at all. It’s not about battery, it’s about pushing the current location lookup at all. Perhaps Dev doesn’t move much during the day, but I’ve ranged across 1000+ square miles as part of an average workday and when I pull out the weather app I don’t care about *current* location - I’m looking for one of a few preset locations. Dev didn’t understand my review at all.
