Thanks to the devs for fixing the permissions : manually recording a ride no longer requires excessive permissions! ----- Original comment: Useless, the app refuses to start an itinerary if the background location permission is not granted. I refuse to grant this permission, even more so to an app which states that "location data may be shared with third parties"

Bonjour, cela est dû à une mise à jour Android qui a une nouvelle surcouche et nous "oblige" à vous demander la position en arrière plan, alors que si vous utilisez la navigation ou enregistrement manuel, cette permission n'est pas nécessaire. Cela a été remonté à notre équipe concernée et nous espérons vous apporter une solution au plus vite.

I really like the app but I can't use the app if I don't enable "allow all the time" for the location, which shouldn't be the case, I don't want automatic detection and see no reason why I should have the setting enabled to just use the app…
