The DIS Boards app

[ejud]

Hello,

Someone want to explain this to me: just got a tablet, and went to DIS, it suggested I load the DIS app, and I said go ahead, and then it showed me what permissions it required which basically amounted to total full access and control of EVERYTHING on my tablet including my SD card.

I shut it down.

I am new to this world of tablets and smart phones etc, but are you kidding me?

And for the record, without the app DIS effectively doesn't work.

Anyone want to explain this?

Thanks,

Jud

Jud I have a Samsung tablet and put the DIS app on it.. FYI almost all apps ask you for permission to do what they want.. (My husband - the computer whiz - explained it all to me and it made sense so I allow/agree it each time I download an app) I've never had an issue with any app 'taking over total control' like a virus in a computer... they probably know I'm a rebel anyway..
If you don't like it/doesn't do what you want it to do/hangs up or any other problem just uninstall it! very simple and doesn't hurt at all. be sure to read other's comments about any particular app you are interested in to see what problems may be associated with the app..
I've downloaded dozens of free apps.. (only bought 1) some I uninstall, some I keep. Have fun with your tablet!
