[QUOTE="lillbitti, post: 2612908, member: 468734"] I'm thinking of downloading the Woolworths android app, but i'm just wondering about the permissions that come with every app. The woolworth app comes with a few but these are just the ones i'm worried about: Storage: Modify/delete USB storage contents. Allows an app to write to USB storage. Services that cost you money: Directly call phone numbers. Allows the app to call phone numbers without your intervention. Malicious app may cause unexpected calls on your phone bill. Network communication: Full internet access. Allows an app to create network sockets. Hardware controls: Take pictures and videos. Allows app to take pictures and videos with camera. This allows the app at any time to collect images the camera is seeing. Now should i be worried by these or any other permissions needed to download an app? [/QUOTE]
