According to Google Play this app has the following permissions

Version 1.0 can access:
Identity
  • find accounts on the device
Contacts
  • find accounts on the device
  • read your contacts
SMS
  • receive text messages (SMS)
  • read your text messages (SMS or MMS)
Phone
  • read phone status and identity
  • reroute outgoing calls
Device ID & call information

  • read phone status and identity
Other
  • receive data from Internet
  • full network access
  • view network connections

Why does a currency converter need to be able to read my contacts and text messages, and reroute my outgoing phone calls????

But even if it Is using notifications... That doesn't explain why it needs to divert my phone calls and read my text messages!

That's nothing to do with notifications... Please find out and let us know... At the moment I can't consider this app as safe to use


No Please search more about android user notifications and find what permissions they need you will find all those permissions are necessary to be checked ..

Also you can test app and found whats problem and whats safe on it .. you wont install mobogenie nor hotspot

No in app purchases nor Visa required nor contacts login . also Google check for every app before Got Approved

If you didn't find it safe without testing it just from outside , its matter of you but as my own experiment and others no problem about it

Thanks

I HAVE searched the permissions... That's why I listed them here. I AM Also Aware of what they do.

The app on the Play Store says that this app has those permissions.... There is NO need for them. Furthermore it would allow the application the ability to do unwanted things.

Please explain why the ability to redirect my outgoing calls is required by a currency converter!

And then if you could explain why the other ones in bold are required that would be great... I can think of several reasons but none of them are legitimate

Again.. It seems like you are not answering the simple question I asked... Please let me ask it again slightly differently

Please look at this link
http://androidpermissions.com/permission/android.permission.PROCESS_OUTGOING_CALLS

THIS IS REQUESTED BY YOUR APP

IT ISN'T REQUIRED FOR NOTIFICATIONS

IT SEEMS TO SERVE NO PURPOSE FOR YOUR APP

Why would a currency converter need the ability to redirect my phone calls... or for that matter need the abiliity to
read my SMS Text messages???

So you don't really know what's going on with this app's permissions. That's why you're waiting for the developers to get back to you. But I do understand you're a middleman app promoter.

Have a nice day.
