Great in theory but wont use until updated

I just downloaded this app a few minutes ago because it sounded great in theory. However, I will not be using the app at all until its updated to at least fix these things:

1️⃣ My friends shouldnt have to download the app/make an account in order to follow me. This is cumbersome for them and frustrating for me because I know some of them will never download it. (Not to mention, I think its a little selfish of me to expect them to take up space on their phone and allow their battery to be drained -- see below -- all because of me.) This seems like a fairly simple fix: instead of forcing my friends to sign up for an account to follow me, just send them a link with a live GPS update every time I start a session. I can only assume that the company wants to gather more users -- which I understand -- but forcing people into using your app is shady and isnt producing organic customers, anyway, so why bother?

2️⃣ The app should switch to using my location only when Im IN the app as opposed to all the time. The FAQ section specifically has a question that asks, "Will this app drain my battery?" The answer tries to skirt the issue but theres no way this app can use my location 24/7 without significantly draining my battery. As an example, I went to a week-long conference for work where the conference app tracked my location the entire time. Despite the fact that I turned down the contrast, was in low power mode, and usually only used my iPad to take notes, my iPhone battery was typically completely drained by 2 pm. So I find it difficult to believe that this particular app claims its location service being constantly on wont drain your battery.
