Why is it necessary to allow the "Location Services" while using The MeatStick App?

Why Location Services are Needed

• Bluetooth Transmission: The app requires Location Services to actively search for Bluetooth transmissions from the Stick.

For iOS Users

1. Apple Approval:

   • Apple has tested our app and confirmed that Location Services are necessary for it to function.

   • Only the Bluetooth listening service is used, not other location services.

2. Settings Recommendation:

   • Set Location Services to "Always" when using the app to ensure continuous temperature signal reception, even when the app is in the background.

   • You can disable Location Services when the app is not in use.

3. iBeacon Technology:

   • To collect the MAC-Address for Bluetooth access, Apple requires permanent Location Services.

   • Proof of necessity was provided to Apple, allowing the app on the App Store.

4. Turning Off Location Services:

   • You can turn off Location Services in iPhone settings when not using the app. Upon restarting the app, it will prompt for permission again.

For Android Users

• MAC-Address Requirement:

  • Bluetooth requires the MAC-Address, which needs your permission for permanent location access.

You always have the free choice of what you want to Allow or not and it is freely adjustable.
