I'm not sure how search for Mike Brown's "Easter Bunny" (now officially known as Makemake) would be unsafe.
Oh, a sleeping drunkard
Up in Central Park,
And a lion-hunter
In the jungle dark,
And a Chinese dentist,
And a British queen—
All fit together
In the same machine.
Nice, nice, very nice;
Nice, nice, very nice;
Nice, nice very nice—
So many different people
In the same device.

They are already tracking you.
Your debit card, you cell phone, your car.

What is safe when you don't know what's secret? Putting ourselves in the place of evil Big Brother, how best and minimally to compile a list of rogue sky researchers?
Someone should develop an app to stop this intrusion!
Perhaps you could do a little more research into these features yourself?
they never have for any app I have loaded, including this one and various weather apps.
the programme is run by someone in Sweden IIRC - you could do a little research on them perhaps?

If I were to put all of this information into one post, there wouldn't be anything left for you to say.
I believe in inclusion whenever remotely possible.

Well, Missy, then you're not reading the fine print nor the screen flashes.

Sweden? That would be the place that has accused Assange of sex without a condom in an effort to extradite him to the U.S. where he is Public Enemy Number One for publishing a video of Reuter's journalists and civilians and children being murdered. Real high moral ground.

That's kind of the whole point, isn't it? What is safe when you don't know what's secret? Putting ourselves in the place of evil Big Brother, how best and minimally to compile a list of rogue sky researchers?
People who use this app are not being tracked
You and your absolutes...and you would know this because???!!!
That's why people cover their tracks, electronically speaking.
I quoted the permissions the apps have and you have provided what evidence?
What moral high ground? You were asking about whether any info gets reported to the DOD - i suggest a good place to start with finding an answer to yuor own question would be to research the organisation that publishes the app - which happens to be located in Sweden (AFAIK)

So it makes a difference to you, does it, whether or not it's the app or the android software setting permissions? Picky. Why do me like that?
There's no android app that doesn't require extreme permissions at one end or the other.

So you think Sweden is at some end of the earth location; still in some sort of primitive mode? In the 1980's (yes...before internet) the DOD was already putting out spider apps, selling them through contractors, marketing them to foreign governments as logistical tools.
Have they been sitting on their hands then for the past 20 odd years?

That's what satellites and quantum computers and palm tree towers are for. If you're on the grid, in any electronic way, you're tracked. That's why people cover their tracks, electronically speaking.

Most people that need to cover their tracks do so because they have done something that they don't want to be associated with.Common tactic used by criminals.

So does the app send android serial information to a DOD contractor data mining group in order to track who is tracking planes? Androids consistently and constantly 'tell' you that all your information is open if you use apps that are weather or temperature related, for instance, and ask for signatures on disclaimers. They tell you this is necessary in order to integrate the app properly within your system.
