I use Musi on iOS. Ability to play in the background, save playlists locally, no YouTube ads (just ads on screen in the app while music plays in the background, for non-paid versions), and no link to your YouTube account.

The app is tracking location and user information

I've looked in iOS settings and can't see anything other than mobile data on/off and Siri?

Apps now require to report what they collect and what tracking they are using. This information is available on app store page of the app.

I see that in the app privacy report, but it doesn’t ask for location permission. Not really sure what to think. Perhaps it’s just tracking/logging your IP’s geo location and that alone is enough to require disclosure?

It just tracks country/city info for internal stats based on IP address. Nothing more granular. Source: built it

Thanks for clarifying! Also I appreciate the honesty in disclosing geo ip analytics even though it be easily misinterpreted. Cheers
