Mandatory app permissions – LG TV Plus Review

Why do so many apps these days require you to give them permissions to things they shouldn’t need in order to work? The very first thing this app requested after launching it was permission to access my location. Why? This is suppose to be an app to remote control my TV. Why does it matter where I am in the world to do that? The app refuses to run unless you grant it these permissions. Right in the description of the app before I even installed it said “Mandatory app permissions : Not required “ so the even lied to us.
