proposed GTA V PC Countdown application would be to count the days until March 19, 2014, when Rockstar launch the game, now available for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, also on PC, something that the producer does not check confirmed that even happen. The app also brings wallpapers and widgets for your own device.

However, more attention will realize that it asks users to access a lot of information that would not fit in such an application. For example, location information, phone calls, data storage, browsing history, network communication, data, people and accounts information from other applications.
