What would you think was the main reason to do so? Would it be to stop the visa overstays, or even to help prevent crimes. Or even to help you from being a victim of crime.

They don't track you, they only want to know which place you officially stay.

The fact the landlord is responsible, and the app will usually be on his / her phone is proof enough they're not after tracking the foreigner.

It's an annoying app though. I registered in order to be able to renew my visa until my visa expiry date. Then I forgot all about it. Today I looked into the app and I had automatically been checked out because the 'stay until' date had expired. When I chose 'extend' I had to scan my passport again and wasn't recognized by the system as the former 'guest'. Now, according to the app, two different foreigners have been staying at my house. Me and me. Also have a 10 day gap in my stay now.

No they don't track you, but know of your whereabouts, from when the app gets used, such has when you leave your permanent address. Being an overnight stay away from your home, you must be checked out by your landlord via the app, has you will be checked in wherever you may stay the following night. That is unless you happen to stay overnight at a friends or go camping or something like.
The thing that I don't like (nor understand of immigration), is someone in control of your stay in the country, that you don't really have any control if they use the app or not, being too that you must trust the person to do this, and actually the person is not that of an official, but to whom you may pay your monthly rent too. Because, also like some others wanting to be sure, I did the app too, letting my landlord know this. When I did the app it specified for the location setting to be used, after I had registered, l was also sent a text message with a verification code.
Has quoting below the police never informed my landlord.

Cambodia News (Phnom Penh): Lieutenant Keat Chathareth, director of the General Department of Immigration, reported that following the announcement no.028 of the Ministry of Interior to control the data of foreigners in Cambodia, the Ministry of Immigration will not extend visas for foreigners who are not registered on FPCS (Foreigners Present in Cambodia System) from July 01, 2020, according to the submission delivered by the Immigration department to Phnom Penh police station on April 27, 2020.
In conclusion, the General Immigration Department requests all police stations in the country to inform the landlords that have foreign residents living on their premises, that they must pass on the information to them that all foreigners must be present on the FPCS app in order to apply for a visa extension from and including 1 July 2020.

Depends if your phone has the location permission for the app always enabled. Some newer phones tend to ask and give you the option.

Logically that app is suppose to track tourist who are hopping from one place to the other, for expats who live here it only makes sense to register the place for your long term residence. Then again this is the kingdom of wonder, logic doesn't always apply.

Another entertaining discussion coming up for me and my girlfriend and local police, I'll keep plenty of beers handy

I tested both the Android and IOS version of the app and neither required access to location data.
Requiring it wouldn’t make sense because it would provide them with the location of the landlord.

the android app wanted access to location data when I installed it
