Ridiculous permissions
Are the Devs serious?! Is Amazon serious?! I look at each permission an App lists in relation to the functionality of the App. There is no doubt this App is a data miner. There is no valid reason for these permissions...:
- Get information about the currently or recently running tasks: a thumbnail representation of the tasks, what activities are running in it, etc.
- Open network sockets.
- Change Wi-Fi connectivity state.
- Access information about Wi-Fi networks.
- Access information about networks.
- Update device statistics.
No way am I installing this! Not as the FAOTD nor for the absurd $1.99 regular cost.
[EDIT: I guess Amazon was listening/reading as this was pulled from being the FAOTD less than ten hours from being offered.]
