They explained most apps are like this and they could not change the settings Only one of those permissions are used on my app. The only one is location services if you want to show your location on the Google map, however I do not see that, and you can turn that off if you want. Another example listed is the access to photos, that would be if my app allowed you to post photos, which again it does not. I hope this explains things. I also have their formal response to my complaint that I would be happy to share.

My iPhone only asked for permission to use location, like your iPad did.
