I wanted a compass on my phone, but it wanted to monitor my location, have access to my phonebook, photos, filesystem, etc., etc., so I said to hell with it. I'll hit up Amazon one of these days when I think of it and buy a real compass. Why all these apps need all that access in indefensible. They're clearly just malware/spyware wrapped inside something you might want. Kinda like Chester the Molester in his van offering candy to children.
