I completely agree with you that we shouldn&#x27;t be using applications that demand more permissions than are obviously needed, but...<p>...the top 10 flashlight apps in the Play store require network access, camera access, address book access, etc. I can&#x27;t believe that there would be any great complaint among the majority of android users if Netflix asked for microphone access. And that&#x27;s exactly why we need the ios-style permissions that google is <i>finally</i> bringing to android.
