How does it affect user's privacy? Play page says - THIS APPLICATION REQUIRES NO SPECIAL PERMISSIONS TO RUN.

That I don't understand this coming from Facebook, if this means Facebook isn't reading anything.

Though the app is not available in my country, a friend from US said it's plain clunky and he uninstalled it within minutes. My concern would be privacy, mostly because it's Facebook.

O_o I don't know why the play page might be showing you that.

The app requires basically every single permission possible.

No, this app does not. This app does communicate with the actual Facebook app which _does_ require quite a few permissions.

Well, that explains it. I am familiar with those few permissions :-)
