Warnings about downloading Apps from non Android sites?

    Hi all

    I just bought my first tablet. It is a Samsung Galaxy 2 7.0 and I am very happy with it. Just a question on downloading Apps. I am a bit new to this but I am studying French at the moment and went to download what looked like a free Collins French Dictionary App. Tried to do it and it would not let me download outside of the Samsung/Android site, despite the fact that that is where I found it? Anyway I disabled the block on outside sites in settings and downloaded it. When I went to launch it it started to ask for permission to do a whole list of what I thought looked like scary things, but maybe it's par for the course. Eg

    Storage: Modify /delete USB storage contents
    Network:Full internet access
    Phone:read phone state and identity
    Tools:retrieve running applications

    As I said it is my first app so maybe this is normal but before I click yes I just wanted to check. (Comapny is Diodict btw)

    Thanks
