A brief note regarding location access: For Android devices running Android M (6.0) and above, granting the app fine location access is necessary to allow the OS to present BLE scan results to the app. This requirement is imposed by the Android SDK; rest assured, we do not utilize your location data for any purpose, even when the app is active.
