Taps 'View Map'

Allow deflock.me to use your location?

I get why it's helpful, but this might discourage the target users from using the tool. Maybe it could request location only if the user taps a 'locate me' type button?

Yeah, I wasn't a fan of that either. Still works if you block it, but as you say, it really shouldn't be requesting that at all.

I notice they have a general inquiry email in their contact section, maybe they'd be willing to take on your suggestion?
