Changed permissions on android kitkat update

A few days ago my Samsung Note 3 updated to kitkat.

All had been going ok apart from yesterday with 2 massive lock ups with Chrome and Play Music. I uninstalled an app I installed the other day and so far all is ok. But then the lock up happened again.

However,  my podcast app Pocketcasts couldn’t download my latest podcasts to the memory card due to the app being refused access to the memory card. Each app now needs to create its own folder with theadded permission, and if you delete the app it also deletes the folder on the memory card and its content. This is part of the additional security in kitkat.

Hopefully developers updates their apps to allow for this new behaviour will micro sd cards.
