I love Sktich, but I wish the logo and colour theme on the app was more like Evernote. Also making it possible to change the default colour on arrows and objects would be a nice feature.

In the latest version, we dropped request for “access to log”permission because it scared too many users, though it only meant getting the system log (there is nothing personal there) in the case of Skitch crash.

Heather’s reply actually was about using permissions by Evernote app, not for Skitch.
The current version of Android’s Skitch needs only required permissions for handling new feature – catch map image. Google Map API requires these permissions. As far as we support current location on the map – we need to have location permissions as well.

It is nice that u try to take care but dont you think that this could be to much for a paranoid like me for example u could build an extra App just for debuging or logs so if someone get problems he can use this app to report. At least we only have your word that u will not abuse these rights.

Here’s the complete explanation, directly from our VP of Products:
“PERSONAL INFORMATION:We use “Read Contact Data” to allows the Android application to access the contact list in support of the “email a note” feature. We only access this information when you request “Email a note”. The content of your contact list is not sent to Evernote. We use only the email addresses of only to contacts you select. This information is used exclusively to send emails.
“Read sensitive log data” is used if you encounter a problem. In this instance you can select “Send logs” from the “Settings” screen. Evernote sends the logs to your local email client where you can review the information before it is sent to Evernote.

DISCOVER KNOWN ACCOUNTS is used to obtain your email account to pre-populate the registration form’s the email field. We don’t store the value unless it is submitted for registation. We want the registration process to be as easy as possible.

READ PHONE STATE AND IDENTITY: We access your phone’s IMEI number to obtain a unique number for your device when targeting specific one-time upgrades. This information is only sent to Evernote if upgrades apply.

I’m happy to elaborate. In a nut shell: we only access privileged information to make the application easier for the user and we only transmit that information to the server if it’s required to provide you a specific service. We only store that information on our server for your benefit. “

The procedure is so difficult to understand. The first step is diffuclt enough. I usually use the evernote widget. I have never seen the Skitch home screen. Evernote also has a map command on the popup, but it doesn’t integrate with Skitch. The Skitch invoked by evernote widget is similar to but different from SKitch itself. Completely confusing.

I’m with BigRedd. This need to access log information needs to be explained completely and honestly or removed.
