We actually ask you for your email address with a dialog box, we don't intercept it. You can give us a fake one if you want.
What you enter in the google docs login screen is sacred and will not be touched. The same for anything happening in the browser (documents list, documents you edit) - we are not reading any of it.
edit: as for the login box - very strange. Which iPad are you using?
Thanks. I did not see a box requesting my email address, only the privacy notification, which is why I started wondering.
I use an iPad 3, iOS 6, issue repeatable, open app in portrait mode, then rotate to landscape. Width does not adjust. When I open it in landscape more, issue does not present itself.
Edit: ah, found the box, it shows up shortly after launching the app, as a pop-up. The message in this pop-up (Please register and support us, it's free) is somewhat unclear. How does it support you? Also, I would suggest that you show that pop-up immediately after the privacy notification. OK, gonna to log in now!
Perhaps unavoidable, but I opened a google document, typed "hello mister how is this working for you" tried to position the cursor before the first 'i' in that line, and the blinking cursor appears over the s. Expanding selection by dragging also isn't clear.
Tried copying the selection using the right-click menu (long-press) but this resets the selection.
Repeated selection.
Tried copying selection via edit menu (not really convenient) and then I get a notification I need to install the web drive app to support cutting and pasting.
Perhaps this can be solved by adding cut/paste to the menu bar. I would not mind having left/right cursor control in that bar too (but I can see how that would interfere with the history function).
Ah, right, we can reproduce that. Good catch, we will look into it.
Edit: We're showing the box 20 minutes into the app because we figure that if you don't want to use it for more than 20 minutes, you didn't really like it. But in combination with the privacy policy I can see how it seems disturbing - we might need to change that.
You're supporting us because investors keep asking us "how many people have registered with you". By registering you increase the number we can tell them.
We can also keep you informed about other potential future Appser releases which you might like. Like say Appser for Cloud9 IDE or something similar.
Supporting (to me) implies adding some kind of value. If things are free, I'm the product. I'd clarify this, that's all (or simply remove the 'supporting' phrasing)
