what are the odds that it geotags their (your) location too?


gotta be free for a reason...


It does. They are very upfront about the data collected and the use of it. Quite honestly, I’m not the least bit worried about it. Given my importance in the grand scheme of things, if I would need to be hyper-paranoid and delusional to think anyone could find some nefarious use for knowledge of when and where I want to identify birds by their sounds.
