This |
|
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-33532041 |
|
has been getting some |
|
publicity recently, sharing it here for those who may not have |
|
come across it :) |
|
There are several versions of an app |
|
http://www.ramblers.org.uk/bigpathwatch, |
|
although the Android |
|
version |
|
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.co.esdm.bpw&hl=en_GB<br |
|
/>isn't so good according to reviews. |
|
Hope people find this useful :) |

There have been lots of complaints regarding the intrusive |
|
nature of the data that the RA app collects. |

Really? I wasn't aware of this? Can you give an example? |

I have signed up, didn't really need any more info than I give |
|
to anyone else. DOB was the only one that I don't think they |
|
really need, but I suppose it gives some number crunchers sat in |
|
an office something to do. |
|
I have adopted 4 squares round my house that I walk regularly |
|
with the dog. I have also adopted one that had no footpaths in |
|
as I thought that one would be rather easy to complete. |

Being, I suppose, new to using Apps, I'm surprised how much of |
|
your life they want to grab or at least have access to: |
|
location, contacts, photos, browse history, etc |
|
As far as D.O.B. is concerned, there are very few organisations |
|
that need to know this, so if they insist, I give them fake day |
|
and month digits ::) |
