APP PERMISSIONS IN PLAIN ENGLISH
Here's why this app asks permission for certain things, in plain English:
★ Identity: This is a new one due to us finally updating our SDK level and Google Play Services.
★ Photos/Media/Files: If you want to be able to upload a file to our forums, you'll need this one.
★ Storage: Same thing. Also need to be able to write so that images can be cached.
★ Wifi connection information/full network access/view network connections: You want your network connection to rock. And we want to know if it is, indeed, rocking. If it's not, we've got both issues. Also may be used for analytics to improve our app.
★ Set wallpaper: If you want to use our wallpaper gallery to download and install wallpapers, you need the wallpaper permission. And this is it.
Have a concern about a permission? Ask us! We're happy to help. Email [email protected].
FINALLY ...
