Allows an application to view the state of all networks.
Storage
modify/delete SD card contents
Allows an application to write to the SD card.
System tools
automatically start at boot
Allows an application to have itself started as soon as the system has finished booting. This can make it take longer to start the phone and allow the application to slow down overall performance of the phone by constantly running.
display system-level alerts
Allows an application to show system alert windows. Malicious applications can take over the entire screen of the phone.
Phone calls
read phone state and identity
Allows the application to access the phone features of the device. An application with this permission can determine the phone number and serial number of this phone, whether a call is active, the number that call is connected to, ect.
Hardware controls
control vibrator
Allows the application to control the vibrator.
Your location
fine (GPS) location
Access fine location sources such as the Global Positioning System on the phone, where available. Malicious applications can use this to determine where you are, and may consume additional battery power.
mock location sources for testing
Create mock location sources for testing. Malicious applications can use this to override the location and/or status returned by real location sources such as GPS or Network providers.
coarse (network-based) location
Access coarse location sources such as the cellular network database to determine an approximate phone location, where available. Malicious applications can use this to determine approximately where you are.

Wsfa news app Alerts are not up to date. I just got an alert for a tornado warning in pike county. The actual tornado warning was yesterday! The alerts wake me in the middle of the night for news that happened the day before. Get with it wsfa!

Why the ads? Was great until the change where you added the giant ad on screen that blocks a lot of stories

App needs improvement The app force closes every time you click on the local news tab. Too many bugs and the installers have not updated the app to fix the problem. Uninstall and find another news app.
