Could you please explain the need for so many permissions(35)?
Like why would a board game need access to:
https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/reports/446250/#permissions
Biometrics are one thing, why does this need read/write to external storage and settings, and system alert permissions?
There’s absolutely no non-nefarious reason this app would need those permissions. Gross.
Seems like a red flag to me.
The lack of response to this question by OP further reddens the flag.
OPs flag is so red shifted it's invisible by now.
