Montage Live

A local staffing agency expects my friend with advanced keratoconus to be able to use this for her job interview:

Montage Live by Montage Talent, Inc.
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/montage-live/id1036399811?mt=8

She’s not going to be able to make eye contact if she has to keep holding the phone up to her eyeball to see the buttons!

So owning an iPhone is now a job requirement? Yuck. (Long-time android user here.)

There's an Android version available. I looked in the Google Play store.

What's interesting is the list of user permissions:

This app has access to:
Photos/Media/Files
read the contents of your USB storage
modify or delete the contents of your USB storage

Storage
read the contents of your USB storage
modify or delete the contents of your USB storage

Camera
take pictures and videos

Microphone
record audio

Wi-Fi connection information
view Wi-Fi connections

Other
view network connections
full network access
prevent device from sleeping

In particular, the ability to read arbitrary files on your phone's storage, and full network access, are worrisome. And why does it need to view wifi connections?
