Tinstaafl wanted to know why this app needs/have access to phone state & identity and location, so do I. It would also be interesting to know why it needs/have access to the camera and SD card?

This application has access to the following:

  • Hardware controls take pictures and videos
    Allows application to take pictures and videos with the camera. This allows the application at any time to collect images the camera is seeing.
  • Your location coarse (network-based) location
    Access coarse location sources such as the cellular network database to determine an approximate device location, where available. Malicious applications can use this to determine approximately where you are.
  • Network communication full Internet access
    Allows an application to create network sockets.
  • Phone calls read phone state and identity
    Allows the application to access the phone features of the device. An application with this permission can determine the phone number and serial number of this phone, whether a call is active, the number that call is connected to and the like.
  • Storage modify/delete USB storage contents modify/delete SD card contents
    Allows an application to write to the USB storage. Allows an application to write to the SD card.
