Google "V Twin Reference App" and you can find mirrors of the app for downloading.

Is there a problem with this twincam app on the Google play store? I can't get it to actually download.

Practically every app installed asks for those permissions.

All the apps have way too many permissions if you ask me.
Even some of the simple flashlight apps have permission to make calls, and even take pics and video without your consent, access to contacts, etc, it just goes on and on.
When I look at some of the permissions on my new phone, it makes me cringe!

It is a fair question.
"Well, everybody else does it" does not cut it with me. There are apps that does not spy on you quite so deep as others.
I may pass on this one.

I like the app. The online downloading is nice but I see this as a possible entry in to a paid market where some content is free and you have to pay for other. No problems with that, just thought I'd throw it out.

Need to add the BOOM reset procedure to it
Need to add the alarm chirp on/off

Here are the permissions from the application manifest:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_ST ORAGE" />

The INTERNET permission is for downloading the content and any subsequent updates, as well as to allow the app to open internet sites like hd.com

The WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission is for the option to save content to the SD card instead of on the device directly.

In the future, I hope to produce a PRO version of the app, which will consist of whatever I can dream of as desirable features. The first I have identified is the ability to track and save your location as you drive around, and possibly allow you to send updates as a text message or email account as you desire.

Finalshot, thank you for the input of the 2 topics:

Need to add the BOOM reset procedure to it
Need to add the alarm chirp on/off

I will look into these.

Anytime. I have more and will send you a private message with them. If you need a beta, let me know. I know some C# and Java, enough to make me dangerous.

Take a look at the app called Ulysse Speedometer. I have used this a lot to track my rides and verify speed agains the gps. It has the ability to record your route and then email the gpx file. I then save them to Google earth and can view my ride. Here's an example:

Thanks for the explanation. I know I seem a little **** about what I allow on my phone, but it's important for me.
