Annoying Bluetooth Notification

The Bluetooth notification is impossible to get rid of. Find a way to fix this issue!

Always wants Bluetooth

If you like to have your Bluetooth turned off, then this app will pop up something when you launch it asking for access to Bluetooth. I can’t see any settings to say I never intend to use Bluetooth with this app, since I get by with the other options. It’s a daily annoyance. [updated] It seems this happens even more, now. If it gets accessed because of a push notification, it should know I don’t need Bluetooth at that time. Rather than a pop-up, it should just display it as text on the existing screen. It even pops up a message each day if it is running in the background and I’m not needing it at that time.

Otherwise, I would rate this one or two stars higher. It has decent options, but is too annoying.
