But the bigger thing is regarding why those apps need GPS coordinates. Much like a recipe app needing contacts, and app that doesn't need to know my location shouldn't be transmitting it.
- nl 16y agoIn the comments attached to that post the creator of ShopSavvy pointed out that it is a local shopping app, that by design needs to know your location - that's kind of the point of the app. The reply was that he'd prefer to have options about the degree of accuracy given to the app. While I can see that argument, at the current point in time I think ShopSavvy is doing the correct thing by it's users (ie, simplifying things, and removing unnecessary options)
