Hello

[FZR]

Nobody download that fucking app, the description reeks of too much spyware. This is not the direction we want our society to go.

Calm down there is no spyware there. only simple ads in notification bar and that's all

[JWC3]

Yeah, I've got the app and it seems legit so far. I swear my phone has not exploded or anything.

Did you read the description of what the advertising component does? It gives your fucking phone number to advertising companies and random shit.

People need to stop treating their privacy as an expendable commodity. It sickens me.

Well like, no, of course I did not. I am generally an incredibly 'public' person though so being accessible to advertising companies doesn't really bother me. You're right, I more than likely should have cared about this and read that stuff of which you speak, however in this instance I did not and everything on my phone seems ok so far.

Give it a while.

...Or do the smart thing and uninstall it.

Re: advertising companies, you are just giving people free advertising fodder and more information on how to manipulate you. It's not smart for you personally, and it's a trend in our society that leads down a path of decreased freedom for all, and a need for even more anxious wariness on an individual level.

Look, I'm not forcing everybody to download this app if you don't want to install then don't you're free to do whatever you like and you know that, so why won't we just stop the arguing here and everything will be fine Thanks

I'm not arguing. I'm telling you it's a shitty app that is most likely using too much RAM on people's phones by constantly pinging their information to different companies every time they boot their phones or load the app, and also most likely doing shitty things with people's information so that you or someone you know can make money by sitting on ass and not caring about other people.

Fuck off.

For the record: any application that does something with your phone outside of the program it claims to be, is both using up your data plan behind your back, as well as taking up your phone's RAM and making it slower by having background processes on top of the ones that actually run the program, which will be running constantly, draining your battery, and making your phone slower.

It's a shitty app. Don't download it.

Well like, my phone has a shitload of RAM. My old phone got stolen and the insurance company bought me a new phone with lots of RAM.

Well in that case you might be ok as long as it's the only app you have like that, just depends on what else the app is doing.

What phone? GS3?

I'm curious why it carries this Airpush baggage at all.

Yeah and poorly designed aps that put ads on your phone and send your information to third parties are, like I said, the number one complaint about Android phones.

You should take it down.

You should take it down. It reflects poorly on your culture and makes you a sleezy ambassador.

It's completely not worse than any other android ap.

[Gilly]

Yeah and most of them are complete shit. Trust me, this is my JOB, these kinds of apps are the number one source of problems with Android phones. I repeat, this is how I make a living, and half my time at work is spent removing shitty apps like these or doing factory resets to get subtle adware out of people's phones.

Really? That's cool as shit! You like work for geek squad but for phones!

I work for T-Mobile.

[JWC3]

I work for T-Mobile.

Ok gotcha. Yeah a good friend of mine works for sprint and he loves his job so I assume good for you also. I'll keep everyone updated about the future of my phone though for the ad-ware conversation. It hasn't exploded yet but I'll certainly say something if it ever does.
