Gerade war ich auf der Suche nach einer App, die mir die aktuellen Tankstellenpreise ausspucken kann. Wie immer führte mein erster Weg zu F-Droid, meiner Quelle für vertrauenswürdige Apps. Ich suche also nach "tanken" und finde nix. Dann suche ich nach "gasoline" und finde ein Spiel namens Planet Rider. Spaßeshalber klicke ich das mal an und kippe aus den Latschen, als ich dessen Berechtigungswünsche sehe:

Das dürten ungefähr alle Berechtigungen sein, die es überhaupt gibt. Mal zum Vergleich, so sehen die Berechtigungen des YouTube-Clients SkyTube aus:

• have full network access
  Allows the app to create network sockets and use custom network protocols. The browser and other applications provide means to send data to the internet, so this permission is not required to send data to the internet.
• modify or delete the contents of your shared storage
  Allows the app to write the contents of your shared storage.
  request install packages
• Allows an application to request installation of packages.
  view network connections
  Allows the app to view information about network connections such as which networks exist and are connected.
• read the contents of your shared storage
  Allows the app to read the contents of your shared storage.

Planet Rider würde ich mir definitiv nicht installieren... just saying. 'ne Tankapp habe ich allerdings nicht gefunden.
