| I tried to install Acrobat reader on Android.
|
| It asked access to:
|
| - In app purchases (ok, I can pay, but only once please; not
| a fan of subscriptionware)
|
| - Identity (what for?)
|
| - Contacts (what for?)
|
| - Photos/Media/Files (Ok, I can understand it, but can I
| please allow only certain folders?)
|
| - Camera (again, what for???)
|
| - Wi-Fi connection information (what for?)
|
| Since it is all-or-nothing, I had to decline. And now I'm
| looking for another pdf reader without ads.
|
| This whole mobile shitshow is driving me nuts.

| view a PDF. Why are such things accepted?

| Google should be ashamed of themselves!
