Gotta say this app is nice for getting me off the couch to walk. Anyone else?

    I haven't walked yet to find a pokemon, planning on tomorrow morning, but my daughter had us stop at the park on the way home from the gym because someone had set a lure.
    She caught a meowth, so Yeah!

    I walk 2 miles and didn't catch anything. As soon I get back and sit on the couch, they start to appear.

    My 9 year old asked to download it on my phone over the weekend. Today, I read an article about how the app is getting full access to your phone data. I deleted the app this morning.
    Here is the article.

    Well that's a bummer. I almost upgraded to a smart phone but won't while there are privacy/security concerns.

    "...You have only two options to sign into the game--use log in information from pokemon.com, or sign in with your Google credentials. Because of the immense popularity of the game, the Pokemon website currently (at the time of writing) isn’t accepting new users. That means Google is your only choice.

    Reeve noted that when some iOS users sign into Pokemon Go through Google, they’re giving Niantic, the developer that created the game, full access to their account--that includes Gmail, Google Drive, Google Maps, Google Photos, and other Google features. If Niantic chooses to do so, it has the ability to read your emails, send emails, and even view your search and navigation histories."
