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:
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

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

Thanks for all the input, everyone.
To answer a few questions:
Tapatalk - We are in talks with them, but those have not reached any actionable business level yet.
Blackberry - We currently have no plans for a Blackberry app.
App access to phone functions -
Hardware controls: Allows photo upload to forum.
Storage: For app's caching functionality.
Location, network communication, phone status: Ad support.
Hope that helps!

Thanks for that.
Any chance of getting it (and, while we're at it the main forum via the Web) to use HTTPS, rather than HTTP - most useful in free Wi-Fi zones which is where the mobile app will end up being used quite a lot.

Excellent - thank you for that. This is a wonderful improvement when using my phone.
Thomas, I'm not sure I see the value in a dedicated iPadd app, as using the site in iCabMobile is quite acceptable - no sense reinventing the wheel, after all.

If you find the location tracking a bit creepy, and would like better control of your privacy, check out Whisper Systems :: WhisperCore - currently only works on Nexus phones, but apparently other model support is 'coming soon'. There are some similar apps around for other phones.

@Hedge36: I just asked because the size is optimized for the iPhone, HTC etc. The iPad would allow for a better solution and better "readability".
But thanks anyways for putting together that app!
