## Review risks (know before submitting)
- **Always-location (5.1.1)** — the #1 question. The feature is visible
(Alerts tab) and opt-in; the review notes above say so explicitly.
- **Always-location (5.1.1 / 2.5.4)** — the feature is visible (Alerts tab)
and opt-in; the app does not declare persistent background location mode,
and the review notes describe region monitoring/significant-change rather
than continuous tracking.
- **Reviewer outside the UK** — empty radius; mitigated by the empty-state
task above + review notes.
- **"Cheapest" claims (2.3.1)** — mitigated by the OGL/footnote task.
