Most facebook users (especially girls) don't really care about internet privacy. For them, this app is an ideal upgrade.

Facebook is ideal for stalkers. 
There are reasons other than privacy for not wanting this app. I don't think they would want the facebook spam on their homepage. This app could easily chew through their bandwidth within a week, with constant updating and notification of servers with your information. Whistling every 2 - 3 minutes can easily get annoying etc.
privacy 101, this scare is not new
any service that tracks gps data can deduce a lot of things, let alone address. it gets even more deadlier when that data can be correlated to the movements of others. think this data is logged compulsorily for some years by telecom operators, not sure about the details.
the problem is not machines mining data, that's a really powerful tool and can be put to use for many beneficial things, including crime prevention. What is wrong is the commercial exploitation of such data.
for re-enforcement, go through any of Richard Stallman's interviews where he talks about privacy. here, is one >

point is if you are indulging in any nefarious activities at dubious locations, leave behind your phone at a secure location
not seen any spy films?

You'll get ads from businesses near to your location.
good question. it's much more complicated than just location based ads

Location based ads and Better, more precise targeting. They can identify other people you may know even if you don't have any mutual friends on Facebook. They will see that you are in the same location as another person say from 3PM - 6PM on Saturdays and thus be able to guess that you know them.
