Do notice that the app is a bit spyware-like, but at least they announce it and it is not mandatory.
Quote:
Since version 3.0.18 FBReader wants to collect some anonymous info about users. “Anonymous” means FBReader does not send any personal details that allow to identify you. No name, no email address, nothing. On the other hand, we want to collect info about books you read, the frequency of the app usage, your typical actions, etc. Why?
There are two reasons. The first is that we want to do the app more convenient. And we need to know typical behavior patterns and problems. The second reason is curiosity. We are interested to know what do our users read and how. Maybe we will publish statistics like “The popular book of the month”.
If you select “Allow” below, we start to send the data, not more than 1Kb per day. The data will be sent over a secure (https) connection. If you prefer “Do not allow”, we send one message “A user does not allow to collect statistics”. Please note that if you have several devices, FBReader shows this message on all of them, as we do not detect if the user is the same. If you change your mind in the future, change the answer in “Statistics” section of the settings dialog.
Thank you if you decide to select “Allow”, and we wish you a pleasant reading, anyway.
