Hi, thx for your cool app. But why does v5 now request multiple network permissions? The only reason why I chose this app initially because it was offline. "Not linked to any backend" as can be read from your own app description

Thanks for investigating. But to be honest, I find that even worse. Because as you say, we have to assume it's used by Google for doing ML. And that is the last thing I want. I already made the same conclusion after reading all your commits, especially to the manifest file.

@mpas97 I have published v5.0.1 to fix this issue. Please wait for the update to be released.

I can confirm that storage and all network related perms have gone away. Thanks a lot for fixing it!

@tomfong 5.1.0 requests a lot of network permissions again (last patch was for exactly fixing this). This time including even more perms like location access, 5 in total, pls remove

Published v5.1.1 to solve the problem.

Thanks for bringing me the issue.
