Thanks for the alternative advice about the apps sources but don't you get the same apps but just from a different source? Cabbages are cabbages but you can get them from various outlets...

{You have to bear with me - I'm a bit new to this}

My problem with the apps is that when you install them there's usually a whole long list of things that the app with be allowed to do. A lot of these things seem unreasonable - such as reading an address book / contacts; I mean why would a game need this information (if it isn't for marketing / advertising)? The strange thing is that you can't say I want this app to do these things but not those...
