Some apps are written to do things that may be non-intuitive. I’m trying to accept that this is not always insidious. BUT, tell me WHY a fireplace app needs to discover, and connect to ANYTHING on my home network! If an app is going to make good use of some permission it requests, afford me the courtesy of stating what good will come of it.
Yes, I do like the fireplace(s)! I downloaded the app for quiet evenings in our motorhome, where my wife had stated she really missed the fireplace at home. It is fun, kind of witty, and nicely done. Best of all, no irritating ads popping up to spoil the look.
BUT, the app just asked to be allowed to connect to everything else on my network? How would this EVER enhance my enjoyment of the app? I have most of a notion to erase the whole thing. Tell me WHY you need the various permissions you ask for.
SHEESH!
