First time you open this app it demands permission to upload a list of all your installed apps to their server for analisis. That's really very not ok! Especially since it isn't even optional.

No one should know what apps you own.

Did you have read our privacy policy?

That's the only solution we have found, download all reports from the platform is too big and generates a lot of traffic on our servers.
We cannot analyze apps on devices, we are too restricted to do that.
And we show a pop-up at start because Google want users give consent to send list of apps on our servers.
What is your solution?

Only ask permission for the app the user wants to analise and only ask that permission when he presses the analise button. And if the users wants to scan every app he can press a button for that. Not just straight from startup everything.

Your solution is interesting but requires a lot of refactoring because getting data from mobile (information and permissions) and getting data from our server is done at the same time.
And we need to be able to launch service to sync reports for one app.
IMO, it's not very useful for main users, users prefer to have a refresh in automatic not manually one by one
And get reports for all apps on your device or one by one doing anything, if you have the same IP.
That's why we remove all data after 16 days to try to respect the privacy of users.
