Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

Who doesn't love having a rock as a pet? They are clean, quiet, and can even learn some tricks. Well now you can have a digital pet rock of your own. The default rock is a digitized version of my smallest pet rock. His name isn't Rocky, but feel free to name yours whatever you want. Explanation of Permissions: SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW - Allows your rock to float around your screen and be moved by you. ACTION_MANAGE_OVERLAY_PERMISSION - This allows the app to manage the overlay permission so your rock can float. RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED - If your rock was killed by a reboot it will be able to start again. A cure for disappearing pet rock syndrome (DPRS). FOREGROUND_SERVICE - Prevents the OS from killing your pet rock. VIBRATE - An option to make the app more tactile. If you want to put your own digital pet rock in this app, along with any comments or questions, then contact me via my email. [email protected] Enjoy your pet rock.
