Basically, I am also of the opinion that not every game, or any app, may determine the location of the device. This should only be permitted programs, where it is absolutely necessary for the function of the program, for example in navigation programs or astronomy programs. This statement applies to GPS or Wi-Fi in the same way. It also applies to mobile Internet via GPRS, 3G or other technologies such as LTE. Apps do not require the location-determination for the function, it should refrain kindly. Regarding abalone, so I do not understand all the fuss and the statements of the other reviews but because on my Samsung tablet running ABALONE with Wi-Fi and off GPS off properly. So no question, here is how to read in part, that the game without location tracking is not running. Therefore, I give because this is a well-programmed game that can also be graphically nothing to be desired 5 Stars.
