I came across an Android app that requires all<\/strong> of the permissions, made by someone with a small reputational footprint. How am I supposed to install it without legitimately worrying that I am doing a dumb thing?
\n—
\nI’m looking for an app that will ring a loud alarm whenever Google Calendar rings its (quiet) event alarm. I’ve been using the paid version of Calendar Alarm Clock Reminder<\/a> by zzappbros but it doesn’t work perfectly. I can’t get it to ring alarms at the right times. When I tell the app to ring when the when Google Calendar Event Reminders ring, it erroneously rings 5 minutes before the event instead.<\/p>\n

In this thread<\/a>, the author of ZenLendar promoted his app. The app requires full permissions and I can find scant info about the author.<\/p>\n

What’s a guy to do? I’m not giving my entire phone over to a random author.
\nI wrote to the author asking for reputation info. What else can I\/we do?<\/p>\n
