Location option is busted

While Ive lately come to rely on this app as my primary source for weather forecasts, I must admit that the widget option, which was without question my favorite feature of this app, has been utterly ruined by this recent update. Whereas before the location neednt be active in the background, now this app requires that itd be running on a constant basis. Why must this app know my location AT ALL TIMES? Its a weather app. It should only require my location when I seek to know the weather forecast. While the app itself still functions with location turned off, the widget simply refuses to work without the location being turned on. If the app itself can do without my location, then why cant the widget? By allowing this app to keep the location running in the background, it places a heavy burden on my phones battery. If the location needs to be on, then at least make it so that the widget only retrieves my location it when I pull down the top menu, similar to google maps and their transit widget. Please fix.
