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.
