PERMISSIONS EXPLAINED
INTERNET
The app needs to access the internet to get forecasts.
ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE
The app needs this permission to check for a network connection
WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
The App uses this permission to create a png image of the forecast if you decide to share it via social media.
VIBRATE
The App uses this permission to allow it to Vibrate when doing "long clicks" etc.
CHECK_LICENSE
The App uses this permission to check the license with google's servers (Pro Only).
READ_PHONE_STATE
The App uses this permission to create a unique identifier for the device, so any spammers can be blocked, and usage can be logged. It is a completely encrypted alpha numeric string that is created by hashing 3 of your phone's unique identifiers against themselves (making it impossible to decrypted on it's own), it is then encrpted again before it is logged at windfreak. So i end up with a completely useless unique key that Identifies each device using Windfreak. It would be impossible even with the source to decrypt this key.

I have spent best part of 9 months setting up this app and the forecast manipulation server behind it. I’d really like to continue to develop it further and run some cool high-res WRF models on a good server; however, I’ve just graduated and have negative money. If you can’t afford to get the Pro version, have an awesome time with the basic version.
If you can afford to support my project and help me to continue to develop the WindFreak forecast set it would be greatly appreciated if you get the Pro version, plus it has more awesomeness to it and no ads!!

Disclaimer: This is a forecast, if anything bad such as death, injury or wasted petrol happens to you. I’m not liable read the Terms and conditions!!
