        On one hand, I'm not surprised that such a security hole exists, given that Grindr uses your device's GPS to locate your exact location to find out who is nearby. If they were to properly secure this little flaw, this would only allow you to use the GPS function for determining approximate distance, rather than being able to see the full position information.
