Costco has an app

Low and behold they now have an app, and it doesn't spy on you like so many other apps do.

»www.costco.com/costco-app.html

Play store : »play.google.com/store/ap ··· le&hl=en
App store : »itunes.apple.com/us/app/ ··· 415?mt=8

why would they need to spy on you though?

they already have all your ID info for the membership.
and all the product you buy are already tracked at the counter attached to the membership that bought it.

When I say "spy" explain to me why a "keyboard" needs access to my identity, Contacts, SMS, photos camera, and microphone? Then I can add in the Amazon App, crappy tire app,

Say what you will, but at least on Android I can make an informed decision if I care to install an app.

Frankly I am sick of the "use our app" push.
Nice its not major security threat, but no thanks.
