I installed this app on my previous phone a long time ago probably from some privacy Reddit thread and never touched it again. I have it on my new phone after transferring data over and it looks like it still works exactly the same way.

Any thoughts from people more informed about privacy than I am? Is it a security risk? I am giving up a ton of access to it.

    I used to use it years ago but I haven’t used it in quite a while. Kind of surprised it’s still around.

    I do recall it needing access to quite a bit of permissions for tracking purposes. Outside of the camera and GPS though I don’t remember it all off the top of my head.

    If you aren’t going to use it I would say it’s best to uninstall it.

    As far as it being a risk; I don’t think it is? Hoping someone else will chime in on it

    Edit: some of this was answered while I was typing this out. I’m not a fan of kernel level anything personally. And yeah, most devices already have a way to track it down if needed. Prey would be redundant.
