I get apps aren't free but I would have gladly paid for the app to not have to deal with this type of thing.
Edit: Ok reinstalled the github version v0.2.1+12 and not seeing any trackers. Thanks yamapikariya, very good suggestion with the difference being the github vs playstore.

Hey! Thunder should not be collecting any user data. There is no tracking of any sort within the source code. Previously, Sentry was used for error logging, but even that has been completely removed from the most recent release.
There are definitely some permissions that are needed in order for Thunder to work.
The Play Store release may be different as Google themselves may collect the data that you are seeing, but in general, there is nothing directly within Thunder's source code to track any user information!
Looks like "Functional Software" from the screenshot is sentry so that makes sense then. Is the version up on the play store an older release than v0.2.1+12?
Also those permissions are fine and totally make sense.
The Play Store release should be the same version as the GitHub one (v0.2.1+12) but I’ll double check!
That's what my scan reveals. No trackers.
Thank you for your answer! Quick, unrelated question, is there anything we can do to activate haptic feedback? I do not think the feature is enabled on my phone, although I do not think I can find any option to enable it either.
Haptic feedback should me on most actions and swipe gestures. If you find that its not working, double check your system preferences and make sure that haptic feedback is on! Thunder uses your system preferences to determine whether or not to allow haptic feedback
I don't have any haptic feedback in Thunder, but I don't believe I ever had any kind of haptic feedback on anything outside of the launcher and some system actions, so it might be more of a phone problem than a Thunder problem.
Thank you anyway!
