Note that if you go to a different app, like Maps, it does ask you for  the location. And once it does, Evme works as well.

Sounds like permission UI at fault. CCing Etienne.

Did it work at some point?

Sure has.
Let me just stress the fact that it works if you make a location request from another app first.

what are the exact steps to reproduce

Comment 6

[Ran Ben Aharon [:ranbena] EverythingMe]

1. Move to Evme page
2. Click on "Local" then click "Find Nearby"
3. A location prompt will appear - authorise it.
4. Evme waits for getCurrentPosition success callback endlessly. You can also see no location retrieval icon in the status bar.

Now restart the phone. Click on the "Maps" app from the homescreen.
Repeat steps 1-3. Notice icon appears in status bar and location has been retrieved successfully thus the app opens as it should.
