I don't know - it is a third party app... But the owner of the app- we emailed back and forth a bit the other month when I reported other problems (app was not recording my HR etc after about 5 minutes and I'd have to start a new activity) and the owner insisted that the app did not record gps data- I told him- I know what the settings are/state, yet it *absolutely* records gps data sometimes. At the time, it seemed as though I was the only person having that occur- he asked me what other 3rd party apps I was using (none)... After a few exchanges he said the team would look into it and he stopped emailing me. Coming back to the forums I see others have consistently reported that the app is somehow using gps data so I'm not sure why it was confusing that I reported the same...? All I can do is charge my watch after any dance sessions now because our if everything else i use it for - this is the only thing that absolutely saps the battery.
