Good afternoon, Rianthoff, I will answer your questions that were above:
Tell me, and the application is not voracious about the battery?
And why should he have so many permits?
1. The voyage of the application regarding the battery: Minimized how much it is possible , in the background, it does not live, only if you were unsent requests, for example, you received a track in the Russian Post of Russia, I didn't add it to the application, and there was no Internet, when the network appears, the application will send unsent requests and your parcel will begin to monitor the Russian Post to Russia, This ensures support of offline.
The application itself does not update the statuses of your parcels, as other tracking applications do, updates occur either when the application is opened and directly work with it, or when Push-notification comes to changing the sending status.
The only thing that can have a battery when working with the application - GPS, if it is enabled, the location definition is necessary to display the nearest compartments and similar geo-functional, when leaving the application, the use of geolocation is stopped.
2. And also why does he need so many permits? Himself as a user, I also do not like when the application has many permissions, especially when it is not clear, in fact, why (a frequent example).
In this case, we decided to clarify this and right on Google Play described why various permissions are needed, but I will write here:
- access to device accounts : At the moment, it is not used, many users ask synchronization between devices, then it will be necessary, apparently not noticed that we do not use, sorry :(
- Location : for the geo functions of the application, the nearest branches, work with the card and the like functionality
- Photos / Media / Files : For the possibility of attaching a photo to feedback on branches, chat with Russian Post Operators
- camera / microphone : To be able to add a parcel by scanning a barcode (when adding a parcel there is a camera icon)
- Wi-Fi data connection, device identifier, system settings : It all requires Yandex Map-Kit - Cards in the Appendix
- Internet access : Well, here I think it is clear why :)

But in general, on feedback on Google Play, the development team also responds, you can there, in addition, the application has a chat with Russian Post Operators, if you have questions regarding the work of the mail itself - do not write them here, write to the chat in the application
