Its so sad how its come to this but I'm glad people are starting to take their privacy and expectations of apps on their device seriously. I have an app that has "all the sounds" on device and yet, still requires internet. Sad!
Most people are not starting to take their privacy and expectations of apps on their device seriously unfortunately. It would be better if they did so we can get some legislation going to get closer to becoming GDPR compliant. I realize that's a pipedream, but only then would people take their privacy seriously.
True.
