The only one I found so far demands location permission, according to F-Droid. Why…
The location permission is needed to activate BLE and scan for other devices using low energy. Android things…
Well then, learned something new today.
But hey, if the app can be verified not to do anything stupid with that permission, that’s more than you can say about the closed-source offerings on the Play Store
Insert Padme Anakin Meme here:
You did verify it, didn’t you?
Gotta sometimes depend on some other people in your life. I also depend on people not mixing toxic stuff into my groceries. The people from F-Droid are generally nice and have proven themselves. And there is more than one pair of eyes on most of the code. And automatic checks.
