Not sure what you mean by Spyware but we use Pinch Media library if it is what you are concerned. More information can be found here:

http://resources.pinchmedia.com/FAQ#tos

I am happy to answer any concerns you might have. :up:

[MotMann]

Informations, they be send to an Company, WITHOUT ask the Customers, IS SPYWARE....

And if you use Facebook, then are some privat Informations send to Pinch Media.

as:
The position from the iPhone
Jailbreak yes ore no
Birthdate (month/Year)
Gender
the ID from the Phone, where everyone can locate the Customer....

and a lot of more....

We don't use Pinch Media Facebook library and even if we do we are bounded by Facebook privacy control of what we can get and what's not.

The bottom like is Pinch Media and any other analytics library is a basic building block of Mobie Application, likewise for Google Anaytics that a lot of web site added to track performance and usage.

I hope we make it clear.

Again We didn't use Facebook Connect and hence we have no access to this information.

[MotMann]

You don't use it.. but Pinch Media get the Datas.. if the Facebook-App install. The Facebook App don't send the Datas. But YOUR App.

The Big Question:

WHY YOU SEND INFORMATIONS, WITHOUT ASKED THE CUSTOMERS, BEVORE THEY RUN YOUR APP THE FIRST TIME?
Maybe you know, that the Customers don't like that and they don't install your App?
And, dit you realy think, that pinch media do all for free? They do something with the dates.

It is easy for you, that you delete the code from your app as soon as possible.... and there are different between Google and Pinch Media. They don't know the position from my iPhone and many more.

And we, as admins can't support an app, which happily sends data from there iPhone, without asking the user!

More and more Companys delete the Code from the Apps, becaus the Users, they know that, delinstall the App from the Phone!

You can do that ... yes, you can

Or we do that .. on our Boards.

They don't get any Facebook data unless you login with the Facebook Connect. Again we didn't activate it so they have no way to know it. And if we did activate it there will be an alert to the users. No one knows the location information because the mobile device will alert user to confirm permission to use the GPS.

Pinch Media do it for free the same fact that you install the Google Analytics tracking code on your website for free too. I might be wrong but I don't understand the fuss about it.

FYI we are moving away from Pinch Media to Google Analytics to streamline our analytics ability. In fact we use Google Analytics in our Android app also.

This is important to improve the app as it allows us to know how many crashes our app made and to understand which features are seldom used etc.

Again I hope we made it clear.

If you have not already reporting issues at our forum, let me know your device model and OS and we will try our best to look into it.

I just installed yesterday, everything looks good except attachments are not able to be uploaded. This was tried from iphones and droid. My members are getting the message:

"Upload Failed. Please contact your forum administrator if this problem persists"

http://www.bogley.com/forum/showthre...-Bogley-Mobile

Currently we're using the photobucket workaround, but I'm curious if it's because I'm storing my attachments in the filesystem rather than the database?

Thanks.
