| 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. | |

| 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 ::) | |
