Lookout app update issue - constant sync

Not sure if this was just a glitch with my phone or not but I just updated Lookout via the Play Store and afterward, I noticed the GPS icon was constantly in the notification bar. Tracked it down to the Lookout app. Then I logged onto My Lookout and it was constantly trying to locate my device even though I haven't requested it to do so. I forced closed the app to no avail. In the end, the fix was to initiate a new locate request, then cancel it.

My battery was draining like no other. Just wanted to give everyone a head's up in case others are affected in the same way by the update.
