On my Pixel 4a, Android 13, this app cannot access location if app is running in background. Since I need this app to access location while running in background and it will not do that, this app is useless to me.

Previously this was working just fine. In new android versions I can only choose an option "access the location while using the app" and apparently it looses connection in the background. But this is the whole point of the app. Please add an option "Always access location" Hint: it is called ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION permission

I have ulefone armor 9 that I was having terrible problems with the location not showing on Google maps. I'd usually have to drive about 15 minutes till it would half figure out where I am at. This app is easy to use and works like a charm
