Internet is so it can be patched, or updated or location because elevation, and geographic. Why don't you call FX? But you kinda knew this stuff might/will happen, Esp when you rely on a device that hooks up to your phone. Why I'm hesitant to limit on what programs I have on my phone.

Just on this site, there are 3 trackers.

Yeah... That's spooky ~

And for contacting FX, I only left a one star rating with my concern on the Google Play store for this update.

It's no use contacting FX as last time I wanted to do so, I already found out FX doesn't care about this tiny stuff more vs those guns selling for thousands each... On their support page, you can leave anything for any FX products, but no FX radar Chrony on the drop down menu for you to choose for submitting the ticket...

Leaving the 1 star rating works better than finding their support team...

I got Google sent me an email just now regarding my rating gets a reply from the developers...

FX confirms that's the reason because they use Bluetooth LE (low energy mode), so they have to get the permission of the location info and that's required by Google Andriod since Version 6 (we are talking Version 10 now already). And they told me the App actually not using that info as you will see the location info sharing icon (the GPS icon) on the status bar just like you enable the location/GPS... You won't see that when you running the FX App. And They also said, if they would they are for sure not using that...

It's nice too see a reply from the seller when you have some question or complain.....

Then, when I reply to the message and ask if later in new version they would not use the Bluetooth LE but other Bluetooth support for the Chrony... My email getting bounced back and ask me (again) to go to the FX web site where no FX Chrony on the drop down menu for you...

This is an android permission thingy. You think the OS would behave different? Not mentioning Windows at all, Mr.BG started spooking humans back in version NT or maybe even earlier.
It is up to a developer to accept = and able to make an app at all....or no go further.
I don't think that this FX chrony will be sold by containers/worldwide, it is pretty pricey for a "intelligent" unit on the shelf's, so far.
I am bicycling big distances over summer months, I am using Garmin GPS computers + any kind of (BLE and ANT+) sensors on the bike, Garmin is just one of a few dozen brands connecting to the cellphone and further to the network. The number of users worldwide? Several millions...it is huge.
To be concerned? yes...and no...and yes...and no way, I have no time to think about that, way too many other s*t tiring along the line to take care of.
Your mileage may wary of course.
