App asks to have location services turned on but App does not appear in location list.

I start the EZ Word Cheats and it starts with the menu open. I click on Quick Import and a blue box appears with the message to turn on Location services in settings. I start the settings app, click Privacy, click Location Services, but EZ Word Cheats does not appear in the list of Apps that can have Location Services turn on. Shutting the iPad off or resetting it does not help.

iPad 2, iOS 6, App is EZ Word Cheats

you have to plug your iphone to a pc/mac and click restore in the Iphone menu. after ALL YOUR DATA IS ERASED, YOU CAN CHOSE IF YOU WANT ALL YOUR DATA BACK (RESTORE FORM BACKUP) OR START AS NEW (NOTHING ON THE PHONE)

I reset location services in Setting>General>Reset>Reset Location & Privacy and that fixed the problem. I need not need to restore from new. When I ran EZ Word Cheats after the resetting location services and then clicked on the Quick import under the menu, a message came up asking access to Photos instead of location services. This is the correct behavior since the program does need access to my photos but does not need Location services.

Thanks for your help. I found I only needed to reset Location services and not my whole iPad.

Recently i learned sometimes its because of restriction also.

In setting > general > restrication.

You can try turning that off and then opening the app.
