I found a similar issue with the Square Register app for Android. CyanogenMod's PrivacyGuard feature tells me it tried to access my location 22,000+ times in a 2-day period: https://twitter.com/evanw/status/453576355284660224/photo/1/...

I assumed this was a programming issue (perhaps unregulated retries) rather than the app legitimately trying to locate me 10,000 times per day.

That doesn't seem terribly unreasonable. Square needs location data because the Square Wallet auto-pay magic is geofenced with respect to the register.
