Refuse/Accept text upon startup #120

Open DavidMOliver opened 6 years ago

DavidMOliver commented 6 years ago

The Store version of ObscuraCam has a long, ominous-sounding message upon installation that requires the user to accept or "refuse". In 4.0.0 alpha 1 (build 39), this is now a pop-up, and on my Moto X device, the only text is "You Agree To:", and then the accept/refuse choices.

What are we really trying to say here? Can this be converted to an "on-boarding" type message that requires only "next" or "done"?

I thought I removed all of that in this build. What pop-up did you see?

Way back when, we thought you would need to have this, in-app, but the trend has been that you really only do when someone is signing up for a server/cloud-based service, where data is stored etc. It can then be just a regular "click here to read the full terms", etc.

A strange. That's a bug!

OK, just verified same on a tablet running A4.3. Also on 4.3, I did not get a request to delete the exiting (non-obscured) file after creating the obscured one. Has that open been removed for changed/ This happened on A6.0 device too.

n8fr8 commented 6 years ago

I removed the request to delete the existing file, since it was confusing, and unnecessary (the user can delete it themselves, and we aren't meant to be protecting local physical device access). Let's discuss more - it was more of a prompt for discussion than a final decision. This is also the kind of usability question we want to bring to Witness.

I, too, see it as an "overboard" feature, but agree that we should discuss with Witness.
