 ===== How can I grant the "Allow all the time" location permission to the app? =====
-The location permission "Allow all the time" is only needed by application that start by themselves and want to use know your exact GPS location, without you asking. You should avoid installing applications that request this permission.
+The location permission "Allow all the time" is only needed by applications that start by themselves and want to use your exact GPS location, without you making a action. You should avoid installing applications that request this type of location permission.
-AlpineQuest only needs the GPS location after you start the app, and turn on real-time location or the track recorder. If the app is completely closed (no main app even in the background, no track recorder), there is no reason for AlpineQuest to use your GPS location.

 This is why the "Allow only while using the app" location permission is sufficient and safer for you.
