Per app? iOS has the same. And on always allow it'll nag you several times saying app X used your location Y times over Z days, are you sure you want to keep "always allow"?

But iOS quickly gets annoying when talking about actually turning it off altogether. Have to go to the settings menu, can't just pull down the quick settings drawer.

I don't know about iOS, but on Android you can make a widget on your home page and set it to go directly to a setting of your choice. I did this for location.
