Blackberry Hub clone for Android - anyone tried it?

[grahamf]

Hub by e-MSI - Google Play
It seems to attempt to clone the features of BB10's Hub, but I don't have an Android device yet so I can't check.

Thanks.

I have an M9 and I can't use either.

If you highlight the link you'll see it's for Google Play.

It's nice to see an attempt is being made to bring it over. BB Productivity Suite is supposed to be able cross platform by the end of the year. Depending on how they price it, and how far this comes along, might determine which I use when I decide on switching to Android in the near future.

What permissions does the app need? Is it only an attempt to replace the notification shade or does it actually go out and check your accounts on its own? I'm a little wary of non-native apps that access my accounts for the purpose of showing me the data from those accounts.

Case in point, the Outlook app. When you enter your credentials into that app, those are stored on a server someplace. That server checks your account for new messages then pushes the notification to the device, your device is not directly accessing your email account. BIG security risk as your account details are stored on someone else's server.
