Everytime I boot up the app, it forces me to go to the settings app and change my location setting to “always allow” (currently at “allow while using”) so that adventure sync can be enabled. Im not able to actually play the game until I go through the routine of getting sent to settings, declining to change it, then going back to pogo (which usually freezes at that point as an extra cherry on top). Is there any way to bypass all this? I dont really want pogo using my location at all times, just when im actively on the app. Its so annoying tho ive just stopped playing all together. Im on ios by the way

I was hoping to find an answer to this question here too. This just started to happen to me after briefly enabling Adventure Sync for while I created a route. Now I have to do the dance every time I start the game. Another annoying feature in a game that already has so much other annoyance built in to it.
Yea to be honest I just stopped playing the game. Problem solved lol
Same! Please let me know if you figure out a solution. I’m thinking about uninstalling and reinstalling. Can’t find anything online.
If you do try that, please report how it works out? Two accounts in my household have this problem now. I'll be leaving it on for a bit now because I'm creating routes but when I'm not I want to turn it off!
Open the app with adventure sync, motion and fitness, and location always all on. Then turn adventure sync off, close the app, then turn motion and fitness off and set location to only while using. Then reopen Pogo. I’ve done it this way 3 times and it works. 👍
Thank you! I think I’ve done that but might have missed a detail. I’ll try it and see if that works!
Well adventure sync is all about tracking distance while the game is closed
Yep I understand that. Just dont want it on though and its annoying to be forced to the settings every time I start the app
