It will be good feature wise, but privacy?

Thanks for turning attention to those. I got curious and looked at the ones for Boost for reddit and they seem about the same. A bit funny to see that the settings for the app only show Notifications as a granted permission (and no other possible ones). Can anyone familiar with Android app development chime in with some details?

I'd appreciate if the dev could explain the need for these perms. I'm sure it's something innocuous, but it'd be relieving to hear why they're there.

That's probably due to the ad provider for the free version.
