Is downloading apps risky?

[AC Question]

is downloading apps risky?

Almost all apps in Google Play ask permission to access all kinds of personal stuff on your device, like your contacts, phone #, device ID, bookmarks, etc. This not only seems unnecessary and intrusive, it seems dangerous. Yet, millions of apps are downloaded all the time. So, what's the reality?
