Smile Android App: TwinCam Reference

For those riders who like the VTwin Reference application on their Android devices, I have recently released a new free app called TwinCam Reference, which basically contains the bulk of what was in the VTwin Reference, with hopes to grow.
This new application is fairly compact and has dynamic content, which will allow the user to update the reference without having to update the application. In this way, I hope to be able to take suggestions from the user community and update the content fairly quickly.
Time permitting, I hope to release a PRO version that will come with extra features such as tracking your ride and either saving it as GPS coordinates, or send your location periodically as a text message to email message.

I hope everyone will get something useful from this app... and as I said, if you have content suggestions, send them along. It is up on the Google Play store now.

Nice app. What permissions are necessary and why?
Thanks

Awesome! THANKS! I missed having the V-Twin reference app on my phone. Lost it when I upgraded and could no longer get it from the play store. Thanks for your effort, this is just what the Dr. ordered.

This version of the app requires internet permission. The content that is displayed to the user is not built into the app, but needs to be downloaded from the internet. In this way, as I get feedback from the users, I can update the content and a user can go to settings to update the content ... without having to update the application itself. I am hoping this allows me to evolve the content quicker.

Permissions say more then just internet connectivity. It says it needs permissions to access videos,files,pics. Why do you need that?
I have to ask because in today times you have to be aware of what you put on your phones.

Kind of a vague answer...

Why the need for the other access to personal data on our phones?

Yep. I need the answer to this too.
