Not picking out this app particularly, because lots do it, but I won't be signing up because of the permissions it requests (from twitter):
Read Tweets from your timeline.
See who you follow, and follow new people.
Update your profile.
Post Tweets for you.
Post new tweets, maybe. Read my tweets - o...k... (I wouldn't want this if my account was locked, but mine is public). Update my profile, make me follow new people? Definitely not. But for what it's offering, I don't see why it needs to do any of this, and its asking for a lot of trust upfront.
- mmahemoff 14y agoVery much understand this. To be clear, Player FM won't auto-tweet or follow new people unless you ask it to (right now, there's no features like that anyway). I wish Twitter would let the developer include a message about how they'll use the feature on their permission page, as the only alternative right now is to explain it beside the button, which clutters up the user-interface. In any event, you can hit "traditional signup" if you want to just use your email/password. Or use the Google login.
