What's more bothersome: If you withdraw access (after they've already scanned your contacts) they'll disable the app. That's why I deleted the app and won't use it again.

If a privacy-focused app makes you nervous about privacy they've already lost the war, haven't they?

Seems reasonable that an app that's used for messaging my contacts has access to my contacts. What exactly are you nervous about?

Only a small subset of people will be messaged with the app, it does not need access to the entire address book.
