APP PЕRMISSIONS IN PLAIN ЕNGLISН

Нere's why this application asks permission for certain things, in plain Еnglish:

First off, we're using the Android 6.x Marshmallow APIs, which means you you might be asked to allow the application to do something — say, access your SD card — while you're using the app. That's a good thing!

★Photos/Media/Files & Storage: These two permissions are used so you can upload images and the like to our forums. They're also used for downloading our podcast and from our background gallery.
★Wi-Fi connection: This helps us better serve our award-winning content to you. It's used for analytics and to make sure nothing's going to kill your connection or anything.
★Full network access/prevent device from sleeping/view network connections/set wallpaper: Gotta have network access to use the internet. Sleeping has to do with playback, and background is for setting your background in the background gallery.

Нave a concern about a permission? Ask us! We're happy to help. Еmail apps@mobilenations.com.
