    Any idea why the Leap Card app on Android is now asking for Bluetooth permissions?
    Worked perfectly well before, can't see any reason why an NFC card app would need access to Bluetooth?

    I was wondering that myself.

    Tried to talk to tech support on the phone about something else the other day. They seem to have sourced it to overseas. Couldn't understand him and he couldn't understand me. I gave up, so didn't get to ask about the Bluetooth.

    They tweeted they messed up and were looking into it.

    I emailed them about it but no answer. Seemed really odd alright, for all we were to know it could have been an app hijack or something

    Bluetooth beacons maybe?
    Might get offers etc when you are on a bus or train etc
