Boost was not open source, I think it ask for that because of the 1 time payment for removal of ads.
Edit: I think jerboa at the moment gives me almost the same itch boost have, If only it can open link through its internal browser it would be the perfect app for me. Liftoff had this but seem to crash for me every time when I’m logged in which is unfortunate.
I had a another look, when clicking the details there it looks like it is taking purchase history for the financial information. It mentions about analytics purposes. I guess its just for keeping tabs the number of purchase for the app. That makes me think perhaps at some point the app (boost for reddit) was designed to track a subscription like system but nesr the end they just decided to just go with one time purchase, and it got a carried over with this new app. Then again I’m not familiar that much with app development if it really need that permission to keep tabs for purchases.

Yes, Liftoff hasn’t been a great experience imo.
Mostly for 2 reasons:
I am confident a good client will come out, now all developers are try hard to attract as many users as they can.
We will see. 😊
EDIT: OK, 1 time payment to remove ads, but do they really need to keep sensitive information?
