A legitimate psychology app should not be tracking people's location all the time, let alone fine location. (Refer to Permissions in Google Play entry).

Hi Dr.Scump we are actually not tracking location all the time. Just significant location change every 10 minutes or so.

Users don't need to select this permission if they don't want to.

Hope this helps.

But why track location at all?

In the study of many mental health conditions, tracking changes in location are markers for depression. By understanding mobility patterns, we can learn more about how to better deliver care just-in-time.

Companies like ginger.io have been doing this with success for many years.
