Thinking about installing Pocket Ranger - Better read this!

And no other apps do this? I think the whole idea of letting companies know so much about your habits isn't wise, but then I don't even own a smart phone.

And many other very worrisome permissions, according to google Play Store and Appbrain.

This was advertised at PA state park, so thought I'd check it out. NO WAY!!!

Time to raise a BIG RED FLAG on this app!

Is this your first App?

A state sponsored app that has access to ALL your installed apps, browsing history, and bookmarks, and your response is that of a smartass 13 yr old.

Go ahead and install it, trojans that track you, and any other spyware you can find. After all, nothing to worry about, it's only your private data...

For the adults reading this, consider if you really want to give all your private info to that developer before installing this app.

If you're using apps on a smart phone, privacy is not an option. :)

Have you read all of the permissions for all of your apps?

This app looks pretty tame to me and what you've listed don't bother me one bit.

Heck pretty much anything Apple or Google has at least those and more permissions...
