Difficult to navigate

I remember the previous version having sections with the security cultural and medical guidance for each country but now I can only seem to view the alerts. It's also too easy to log yourself out, and if you have logged in via your company membership number, it doesn't seem to remember your profile, you have to create a new one every time you log in. For an admin perspective, I don't like that members can log in without an individual profile, it makes it hard to track who is/isn't using the app.
Please change location service settings

Fortunately for me I have not had to use this app in an emergency. But is has been using mobile data even when the app is not open it in background. It must be sending my location and the only 2 options are never and always. Please add a While Using option. What is the valid and legitimate reason for accessing my location when the app is off? There isn't any.
Unusable half the time

This app used to be functional. Now it’s stuck on the ‘can’t check in because an update is required’ but then there’s no update even after a forced close/reopen. Frustrating when all you need to do is check in. Seriously needs a slimmed down no fuss version without updates every two days and added bloatware. It should allow to check ins if updated within the last few days. Data is limited depending on Country visited
