Actually, I find that to be creepy. You are basically stalking your users. What's the difference between that and installing Google Analytics on your website?

- Aqua_Geek 15y agoI can easily protect myself from GA tracking.
- toni 15y agoYou can't compare a mobile app with a web application. One of the author's points was that "view source" world as we know it in the web doesn't work anymore on mobile apps. That's why he had to resort to Fiddler to see what is going on under the hood. The better question is: What's the difference between this and a desktop application that gathers your data? If the same thing happened with a desktop app (spying on your every click, "calling home"), it was labeled as spyware within days.
