Pokémon Go! is zo populair dat de game mainstream is gegaan en vanavond bij het nieuws en enkele andere actualiteiten programma's. Zo werden er vandaag twee dingen bekend, namelijk dat de game populairder is dan Tinder. Want wat de game in een week is gedwonload is Tinder nog niet in vijf jaar. Daarnaast kwam er iets heel erg nasty aan het licht, want Pokémon Go! wilt namelijk volledige toegang tot je Google Account om mail te ontvangen en te verzenden.... je leest het goed. Uiteraard kan je het uitzetten. Maar toch, het idee dat een bedrijf als Nintendo dit wilt en eist is in mijn ogen een reden om het niet te gebruiken, aangezien ik erg op mijn privacy ben. Maar goed, hier onder kan je alvast een stukje van alles lezen.

According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, only safety and physiological comfort are more important than love in our search for self-fulfillment. Maslow was wrong. A stronger driving force than love, apparently, is the need to catch 'em all, seeing how Pokemon Go has already been installed more times after a week than Tinder in five years.

According to data from SimilarWeb, Pokemon Go has already been installed on about 5 percent of Android smartphones, compared to Tinder on about 2 percent. Clearly, Pokemon fulfills a basic human need.

Tinder isn't the only stalwart app that Pokemon is blowing out of the water. Pokemon Go is coming for Twitter too, and its 3 percent of daily active users on Android (as of Friday) is set to overtake the 3.5 percent of daily active users on Twitter, if it hasn't already. Let's not forget that Twitter has been around for a decade, while most of the world was completely unaware of Pokemon Go two weeks ago.

When you grant full account access, the application can see and modify nearly all information in your Google Account (but it can't change your password, delete your account, or pay with Google Wallet on your behalf).

Certain Google applications may be listed under full account access. For example, you might see that the Google Maps application you downloaded for your iPhone has full account access.

This "Full account access" privilege should only be granted to applications you fully trust, and which are installed on your personal computer, phone, or tablet.

If you've granted full account access to an app you don't trust or recognize, we recommend that you revoke this permission by clicking the Revoke access button.
