Carlo, You must have a very protective unique group of people using your app. I've asked dozens of droid users and not one of them pay attention to the permissions. Like others said, they want they app, they install it and so far everyone I've talked to doesn't look at the permissions thing at all. They just tap ok ok ok until it's installed.
Since they emailed you, you may want to return an email to all them, perhaps the same email in bulk to them, and explain to them how this has changed and that your app will only store info on the SD card. I also am finding it hard to imagine anyone buying an android device with 8, 16 soon 32GB of SD card space, worrying about stuff being stored. I do understand what you mean..the word modify might suggest that it may find other content and do something to it, but like I said you must have a pretty unique set of people using your app. On Sun, Jan 24, 2010 at 9:07 PM, Carlo <ca...@hyperdevbox.com> wrote: > Thank you for your feedback, I rather not based my business on guess > or bet but on fact, we got 25 emails from users about this issue on > launch day 1, i think we should listen to them.
