Just looking at downloading an app, apart from a Torch i havent done any.

 

Am i just being paranoid but the app gets access to:

Version 1.8.49 can access:

Location

  • approximate location (network-based)
  • precise location (GPS and network-based)
  • access extra location provider commands

Photos / Media / Files

  • modify or delete the contents of your USB storage
  • read the contents of your USB storage

Wi-Fi connection information

  • view Wi-Fi connections

Device ID & call information

  • read phone status and identity

Other

  • modify system settings
  • draw over other apps
  • full network access
  • pair with Bluetooth devices
  • view network connections
  • Google Play licence check
  • make app always run
  • access Bluetooth settings
  • prevent device from sleeping
  • run at startup

Is this common place?

Just bear in mind that it might activate location services which does put a drain on your battery life. You should be able to tailor the amount of access via prefs within the App or via the settings menu on your phone.
