What's New
A complete rebrand of the NBC News app, including some content enhancements.
The application has access to the following:
Storage
modify/delete SD card contents
Allows an application to write to the SD card.
Network communication
full Internet access
Allows an application to create network sockets.
view network state
Allows an application to view the state of all networks.
view Wi-Fi state
Allows an application to view the information about the state of Wi-Fi.
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.
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.
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.
Hardware controls
control vibrator
Allows the application to control the vibrator.

So frustrated I love this app. I've had it for a very long time but this last update is terrible. Everything was working fine. Then I updated it and now every two articles or so it refreshes. I like the idea of keeping you up to date on the current news but this is ridiculous. I hope the makers of this app fix it soon!!
