Wolf Branch School District

PHONE ACCESS PERMISSIONS. The App on Android requests access to directly call phone numbers, read call information, read phone status and identity. Additionally, it requires the ability to read, modify, or delete the contents of your USB storage. DURING INSTALLATION, you are asked: "Allow Wolf Branch to make and manage phone calls?". You can choose "Deny & don't ask again" and you will receive another message "Permission Required! Denying this permission will disable the notifications feature. Are you sure of your choice?". Once you answer "Yes" to that question, you will frequently be nagged thereafter with a pop-up that over and over again states: "Permission Required! Denying this permission will disable the notifications feature. Are you sure of your choice?". AND even though you are presented with the option for "No" or "Yes", only "Yes" temporarily removes the nag pop-up. A "No" just keeps refreshing the pop-up. It takes a reinstallation and capitulating to the "Allow Wolf Branch to make and manage phone calls?" to stop the nag pop-up. The end-user should be provided with the option for "no notifications" to prevent the app from having access to make and manage calls. Perhaps the developer can come up with other ways to notify without requiring such permissions.
