What's the real "Score" on app development
OK, you hear a noise at your door and investigated, only to find your Postal Carrier on your step opening your mail.
You asked them what was going on and they explained "for the service of delivering your mail one of the terms is they have the right to look through each document". Would that be acceptable to you.
And if not, why would you allow a third party (non government entity) access to your personal documents and data on your smartphone. Which in (modern terms) could have more information about you and your family than your mail.
I installed Norton Security on my laptop, which gave me an option to use it on other devices. So I installed it on my Z10 and ran a scan on my phone.
It identified " The Score" (sports app ) as a potential risk. Now I have had this app installed for almost as long as I had my phone. It was one of the first apps I had and my "goto" Sports app. Then a while back, through an update things got "sticky". And the permission requirements changed. And out of the ton of apps I have installed, this is the one that has been found to be "Middle Risk".
I say this to point out that there was a reason BlackBerry World was different from other app stores. It had a standard and that standard needs to remain. I'm aware that BlackBerry is moving into different areas and OS supports, but please don't leave behind "Options" that made you BlackBerry. I'm asking that they continue to support app development that produces apps we can trust on the consumers side of the business, not just the corporate side.
