Depending on your android version your're prompted to grant some permissions during installation process. Some other permissions may be asked later when using the app. All requested permissions are used to allow the app to work as an alarm clock - for no other reason.
You may want to choose one of your local audio files (MP3s) as your alarm sound. Therefore the app asks for this permission to be able to access your sd-card.
The app asks for this permission to be able to enhance your experiance and control your speakers volume when listening via bluetooth speakers.
With this app you can select from different online radio stations or youtube-videos to be played as your alarm sound. Therefore the app needs to access the internet. Optionally you can activate an 'auto-connect' feature to make your phone connecting to your WiFi at alarm time.
In case you're currently talking to someone the moment the alarm is triggered, the alrm-volume will automatically decrease. Therefre the app needs to know wheter or no you're calling.
The 'Force alarm' option allows the app to play sound even though you set your phone to silence / vibrate only. It's up to you to activate this feature, but if activated, the app needs to modify your audio setting during alarm playback.
To be able to record the next upcomming alarm prior to android version 'Lollipop' the app needs this permission.
The app vibrates your device at alarm-time (optionally).
