INTERNET permission in Financisto

Today my coleagues asked me a very valid question – “Why does Finanacisto require INTERNET permission?! Are you nuts?! That’s personal information we’re talking about!” :) Financisto uses this permission for Google Maps and to download currency rates in transfer dialog. Unfortunately there is no option for a user to deny any permission for an application while installing it, so you’ll have to trust me – Financisto doesn’t publish any information to the Net.

But the point is taken – I’m considering to modularize the application. Divide it into separate pieces with different sets of permissions. With main application require, ideally, no permissions at all and additional modules like ‘Location Module’ and ‘Currency Rate Module’. Hope it will work. No ETA though.
