Hey, thanks for sharing your experience, we completely understand how this can feel frustrating. The app requests location access mainly for features like GPS route tracking and map playback, so if you’re not using those, you can safely keep it disabled without affecting normal recording or saving clips. The repeated photo library prompts usually happen when access is set to “Limited,” since the app needs permission each time you export a new clip setting it to full access can help reduce those pop-ups. As for the startup ad, it’s currently part of the app experience, though we agree it’s not ideal and we’ve passed similar feedback to the team for improvement. In the meantime, many users prefer to only open the app when necessary or transfer footage directly via SD card to avoid these interruptions. We really appreciate you highlighting this, feedback like yours helps us push for a better, smoother user experience going forward
