Before installing this latest update (5.1.5), I used to skate by without setting any permissions (don't ask me how.) Now, QuickPull is asking for permissions that I feel are not necessary for it to run. Can someone confirm if the permissions I've boxed in red are needed for the operation of this program?

FWIW, I used the App World feedback button to try and contact Steelthorn, the makers of the app, and got a reply saying they don't monitor their support address and pointed me to a website for support. This website was completely useless, as there's no way to contact them through it either.

This post seems to explain why QP may required WiFi and network access, but I still need to understand what 'recording' and 'unknown' permissions are

**bump** anyone have any ideas about these permissions? Are they really necessary?

I heard about quickpull years ago, that time I am not interested at all because I've found another app which is better. Now looks like QuickPull have shown a good improvement, but this permission issue do really bug me

So what is this mysterious app?

It just allow you to reboot the phone with a click as far as I know. You can do this with holding alt+right shift(aA)+Del at the same time anyway. The app will initiate a soft reboot.

alt-shift-del is a classic BB key combo, and it works great. But I like Quickpull's start-up screen where it shows how much memory was freed up. Plus it's not as abrupt as alt-shift-del

Anyways, since I was the OP here, what I did to fix the problem is downgrade back down to an older version. Problem solved.
