Please add option to disable internet connectivity option for an app. 
Currently only option available is to chose between wifi, mobile data or both, please add another option None

You need to use the send feedback button in the support tab of this app if you have a feature request. Samsung themselves don't check here

This isn't really the best solution, but unless that option comes back, this is the best you'll get I think.
Make a routine to turn off WiFi and mobile data when the app is open, and they will turn back on once the app is closed.
There are two cons here
1) other apps can't use WiFi/data in the background
2) it doesn't always reconnect when you close the app.

@AjR17: You may wish to head to Settings > Battery > Background usage limits > Deep sleeping apps > Tap the '+' symbol in the top right > Select the relevant app(s) > Add. Deep sleeping apps will never run in the background, and will only work when you open them.
