This is really selling a quite interesting intellectual effort on meaningless paranoia. Who would have any interest in tracking people in this manner?
Any government based group can grab the data much more conveniently via the phone towers. Anyone else? Well you've got to trick someone into downloading this thing, so it's probably not that good for targeting a specific individual.
If you can think up some nefarious scheme which involves grabbing lots of peoples locations, just get permissions to use GPS or cell location, way more apps have that privilege. I'm not sure what you do with it afterwards though.
New research reveals people can be tracked just by watching where they go...
