    Permissions
    • view network connections
      Allows the app to view information about network connections such as which networks exist and are connected.
    • run foreground service
      Allows the app to make use of foreground services.
    • have full network access
      Allows the app to create network sockets and use custom network protocols. The browser and other applications provide means to send data to the internet, so this permission is not required to send data to the internet.

    • run at startup
      Allows the app to have itself started as soon as the system has finished booting. This can make it take longer to start the phone and allow the app to slow down the overall phone by always running.

  • New in version 1.15.2
    • Optimized shadow in light theme.
    • Replaced no longer maintained dependency.
    IMPORTANT: Due to restructuring after replacing a dependency,
    the cached news database might not be recognized,
    requiring a new one to be created.
    While this shouldn't normally happen, I can't rule it out for all Android versions.
    In the worst-case scenario, a clean reinstall of the app may be required once.
