The Android app needs far too many permissions.
I understand, that certain permissions might be necessary, but SMS????
I suppose, Storage is so we can transfer the app to our USB cards, which is good.
Not sure, why location should be necessary, other than for advertisement options.
Is the network communication / internet access a constant requirement or does the app work offline as well and only needs sync now and then?
Hardware controls: Audio settings/audio recording: what for?
Not sure why the app would need access to my phone state and even worse identity. Advertisement again, I suppose?
Personal Information, My Accounts? Why are those?
In general I dislike it when apps don't explain what their need for permissions are for.
Not sure how other people deal with this, but I am making a habit (pun intended) of de- or not installing of apps with poor permission settings and/or when they are not even explained.
Since I do like the web app and since I see, that this app is still very much in its alpha state, please, could you keep this comment in mind and put some effort to explaining the permissions? I was really really hoping for an android app and I look forward to your developments.
Sorry, I am rather passionate about this.
Have a wonderful, successful, Happy New Year.
The app is requesting too many permissions, it needs to ask for just what it requires (not much). The android app uses a template that was requesting these permissions, and I haven't changed them. I will look into it. Thanks.

I have some android development experience.
The app I am currently working on is a simple database type of app to manage health related data.
I use your service very extensively.
I would love to be a beta tester for the android app!!!
(And if you need some help in coding/will release it as open source)
I'd totally love to see an Android app of Weekplan. It will make me rely on a single list of tasks to do, instead of carrying around my paper-agenda, with the stuff I come across when Im not online/in front of the PC.
It is coming :) I have got too much to do at the moment so things are getting delayed a bit, sorry.

I have published the app under the name "Weekly Planner". Could you guys give it a try and tell me how responsive it feels?
