I'm interested to see if this prompts privacy concerns as I feel it should actually appease them.
The problem with location tracking previously was that it was too easy to not notice it. Click through a few confirmations during app setup and fail to dig into menus and you might never know about it.
The more it's front and center (and useful) as a feature the more likely people with legitimate concerns are to be aware of it and the ability to disable or selectively remove data.
I was pleased to see 'delete day' was so prominent in the UI.
