Android Wallet Questions:

First off, thank you VERY MUCH for even HAVING an Android wallet up and running.  You are ahead of the game, and many of the coins out there.

1) Most Important!!!  Why do the permissions include "Location"?  There is no reason for the location of the user to be known.  Location allows the app access to both general and precise GPS coordinates.

2) Does the wallet even work?  Reviews on the Playstore say that it does not.

Given the requirement of location I personally know that I and thousands of other people will not ever install this wallet until that is remedied.  Coinomi wallet does not require location.  Enjin wallet does not require location.  Bread wallet does not require location.  It may have been an oversight by the developer, however oversight or specific inclusion, the Location requirement has got to go.

My friends, do not download wallets that require extra permissions,

and as always,

do not leave your coins sitting in exchanges.  If you do that then the exchanges own your funds, not you.  The exchange gets hacked

and then YOUR coins are gone.

Thanks!

(To continue:

It even requires Wi-Fi connection information-- the names of the connected devices, etc.

The only permissions needed by a wallet app are Camera and Photos/Media/Files.

All else are unnecessary information grabs.)
