Andrew,
 

1. Mine is turned off, by default, for some reason.
  android.permission.READ_CONTACTS = dangerous, revoked

 
Its not about what *you* currently have, its about what *we* would be
getting. Regardless of if our phones have similar protections - or not.

The contacts permission is off by default in this app and is only needed
when you enable "Suggest Contact names" in the "Text correction" settings.

Before complaining about how insecure an app is you should first check it!

Also see here - the source is available and you can build it on your own
if you don't trust F-Droid: <https://github.com/Helium314/HeliBoard>
