I have Evernote on all of my computers and wanted to add it to my Nook through the Google Play Store. Why does the app say that Evernote needs access to "Hardware controls, record audio, take pictures and video"? I did not install Firefox on the Nook because you have to give permission for Firefox to record audio and take pictures and video with your device without your further consent. This is not exactly what the Evernote permission states you are doing,but I want to be clear that I am not giving permission for any company to record anything from my device. The Nook doesn't have a camera so that is not an issue, but I do not want to give permission to record audio, either. Is this permission needed only for the use of the app, in that it gives permission for ME to record myself and store it on Evernote, or is it giving Evernote permission to randomly record whatever may be happening near my device?
Thanks - I won't install the app until I understand what I am agreeing to!
