[2013-03-23] A Google User: Useful app Does what it says and works nicely. Great app! |
|
[2013-02-25] A Google User: Greatest This man's apps are fantastic. Even if you have to spend $3. I did. Thanks Sam |
|
[2013-01-25] A Google User: Very useful Helps you avoid malicious permissions hidden in updates. Great app. |
|
[2013-01-16] A Google User: I am free All my permissions are secured. |
|
[2013-01-13] A Google User: Fantastic app. Thanks for sharing shug. |
|
[2013-01-12] A Google User: Good It amazing! |
|
[2013-01-05] A Google User: What I think I just It's a good to have An app like this Because the Android services really want to make a big difference. |
|
[2012-12-18] A Google User: Usefull application . |
|
[2012-10-12] A Google User: Good (but ugly) UI Helpful organization. Easy to figure put what permissions mean. I wish it didn't customize the UI so much (it's ugly and unprofessional looking). |
|
[2012-08-26] A Google User: Nice, but I don't do ads.... There are no notification ads like it says, but there are in-app ads (self promotion). There are free permission-viewing apps in the market that need no permissions and have no ads at all. |
|
[2012-07-03] A Google User: tell your friends! |
|
[2012-06-20] A Google User: Greay dev response to questions Does what it says it will. I had to remove as avast basically does same thing, but good app! |
|
[2012-05-31] A Google User: Excellent Excellent diagnostic tool. |
|
[2012-05-27] A Google User: Good, could be better... I like this UI better than "RL Permissions" but this app requires permissions. How ironic. |
|
[2012-05-23] A Google User: way too much traffic used it a couple times, already over 2mb traffic? otherwise does the job, but i dont remember viewing video adds. |
|
[2012-05-11] A Google User: Good tool to have around! Very useful for keeping check on apps permissions requirements when finding a troublesome app. Thanks! |
|
[2012-05-06] A Google User: Superb If you care about privacy this app is great. But, 'RL Permissions' is a better app (because that requires no permissions itself!). |
|
[2012-05-05] A Google User: Okay but... Permission monitor (Vincent De smet) notifies on install, just in case you glossed over the permission screen. |
|
[2012-03-09] A Google User: horrid caused my phone to go completely belly up. most apps either gone or corrupted. i have to re-install and re-install 2-3 times to get the app to work again. now in frequent FC on most apps even after getting them to work for a while. phone crashes all the time now. don't get this piece of junk |
|
[2012-02-26] A Google User: Garbage Like others swithching to RL Permissions. Faster, easier to use & NO permissions. Uninatalling. |
|
[2012-02-21] A Google User: Back to its old self With the invasive permission removed, it is once again safe to update the app. My thanks to the devs. |
|
[2012-02-21] A Google User: Trust (and rating) restored. |
|
[2012-01-14] A Google User: permissions? y u need permissions? no need 4 ads, this should b permissionless moved 2 rl permissions better than this bye and uninstalled |
|
[2012-01-12] A Google User: Goodbye |
|
[2012-01-10] A Google User: Uninstalling, not updating. Extra permission for ads? lol You're becoming invasive just like those other adware programs. Goodbye and good riddance (Uninstalled). I've switched to 'RL permissions' which does the same but requires NO permissions! |
|
[2012-01-10] A Google User: UNInstalled Rl permissions is so much better |
|
[2012-01-08] A Google User: Permissions Agree with other comments concerning extra permission. |
|
[2012-01-07] A Google User: Not updating sorry. |
|
[2012-01-07] A Google User: Sa New permissions unacceptable. Uninstall. |
|
[2012-01-07] A Google User: Ty. Some permissions removed, updated. Please add a "list by most potential dangerous" category. This should be permissionless! |
|
[2012-01-07] A Google User: TheEnd The irony of permissions! |
|
[2012-01-07] A Google User: Uninstalling Agree with a previous comment saying new permissions are ironic, given the purpose of this app. |
|
[2012-01-06] A Google User: Phone identity? Are you kidding me? I use this app to AVOID apps that use phone-id and internet (because they may track you with this). Won't update... |
|
[2012-01-06] A Google User: Not updating. The irony of adding sensitive permissions and ads to this app is apparently lost on its author. |
|
[2012-01-06] A Google User: Adding permissions and ads? Sam, thanks for ruining this just like your cleaner app. Uninstalling. |
|
[2012-01-06] A Google User: Too many permissions Uninstall |
|
[2011-12-21] A Google User: It gets a few things wrong, it added extra permissions to some apps that I have checked before. |
|
[2011-12-08] A Google User: Great! |
|
[2011-11-08] A Google User: Refresh problem. I can't stand how the entire app refreshes after uninstalling an application. Losing your place makes cleaning up your phone unnecessarily cumbersome. |
|
[2011-11-06] A Google User: Great concept. Too bad the permissions listed are wrong and it FCs if you click on any apps. |
|
[2011-11-02] A Google User: Wow Wow |
|
[2011-10-24] A Google User: Susan Love this app and everything this man builds. Don't know what I would do without this app . Thanks. |

|
[2011-08-18] A Google User: Perfect! Just what I was looking for to analyze permissions used by apps! |
|
[2011-08-13] A Google User: Exactly what I want Finds my installed apps that require permissions that they shouldn't need. |
|
[2011-08-10] A Google User: Works very well, helpful Developer is very responsive. App is graphically nice, works fast, has lists by app, by permission, everything. The app itself doesn't have any weird permissions. All dev's apps are secure (no unnecessary permissions!) and just work well. Kudos! |

|
[2011-07-10] A Google User: Good idea, but it has many mistakes. It assigns sinister permissions to apps that, on the market, list none. |

[2011-04-01] Cathy: Very helpful. Way too many permissions asked. 4 by way 2 many apps. Most apps do not need location ..phone state..access to messages..etc. |

|
[2010-11-23] Anna: Looses credibility saying it's dangerous, because of ads. There are legit & not reasons for premissions. App only goes so far in helping sort them out |
|
[2010-11-17] A Google User: A good referencing tool. |

[2010-09-21] A Google User: if I went by what this app determines "dangerous" I would have no apps installed.even the market is dangerous. Lame! |
