That depends on the app. I've seen at least two app that under Location, have two switches:
Never
Even when not using app (or something similar)
I take this to mean that unless you Force Quit those particular apps, they will continually poll your location. I don't remember what they were, but I dumped them in favor of other apps with a more granular or suitable set of options.
Also, at some point, I discovered that almost every app I had suddenly show as On under Locations. Whether this was the result of some glitch or an iOS Update, I wasn't happy and went through and turned a
bunch of stuff off. Too many apps want Location Services on with no explanation why.
