Mindfullness bell update requires new rights ? #39

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

Hi,

The mindfulness bell proposes an update and now asks for more "rights" on my 
phone : Reading the ID and phone number of my phone.

WHY ?

I don't believe that a mindfullness bell should snoop on my personal details, 
so I have refused the update until this excessive rights request is removed.

Best regards.

The mentioned access right is READ_PHONE_STATE. The app greys the status 
notification bell if your phone is in flight mode or off hook. To keep the app 
informed of the latter (off hook) it needs the mentioned access right.
