WHY DOES THIS APP REQUIRE ACCESS TO EVERY PERSONAL PIECE OF INFORMATION ON MY PHONE
TO WORK?????
ACCESS TO MY CALENDAR CONTACTS PHOTOS AND FILES ALONG WITH ALL MY CALL INFORMATION??????
GET REAL THIS APP IS A MAP LOCATOR AND SHOULD ONLY REQUIRE ACCESS TO MY LOCATION
IF "NEAREST" IS A SELECTION AVAILABLE...
PHONE... MAYBE FOR CALLING THE FBO CHOSEN BUT NOT ALL THE HISTORY AND FILES FOR
CONTACTS..
I ALWAYS WORRY ABOUT SOMETHING FOR "FREE" AS THE OLD SAYING GOES "THERE IS NO SUCH
THING AS AS A FREE LUNCH"..
MAYBE YOU SELL OR MARKET ALL THE INFO YOU COLLECT.. WHO KNOWS BUT BEING A GREAT
APP DOES NOT WARRANT SECURING THE VAST AMOUNT OF INFORMATION UNRELATED TO THE
APP...

I agree totally, and I don't use or see those permissions. This is mostly a Android
issue. They are for several add on's that are standard in the app business.
For example, my app will only ask for location, and that is if you want to
see your own location on the Google map. The other permissions I do not use,
for example the ability to post pictures, then that app would ask to have access
to your photos. When I questioned my app company about this, this is there
response:
Dear iBuildApp Users,
With over 1 million customers, and 30,000+ downloads, iBuildApp prides itself in
being able to make it easy for customers to build and quickly update their app
into the marketplace.
Each app made by iBuildApp has a list of permissions which are a standard amongst
the most popular apps on the Google/Apple marketplace to allow their apps flexible
implementation for any feature changes in their app.
App creators at iBuildApp do not have any access to the data from the devices using
their app,
the permissions allow better functionality of the features on the app.
Regards,
iBuildApp Team
I hope this eases your mind. Glenn
