V2 works great The warning is bullshit
It's not complete bullshit. The app connects to ip-api.com, which geolocates users by their IP. It's not that accurate and can be easily bypassed by blocking the domain, using a VPN or a simply proxy. Still.... something you should watch out for....
This is also present in older versions, not just the one with the warning.
You don't need a VPN to block connections to this if you're scared. You can simply reroute ip-api.com to the loopback address on your device (127.0.0.1) - 30 second fix. Strange though because the version that I'm running at the moment, does not have any calls to connect to that address.
