Description
Paranoid for Android analyzes all the apps installed on your device to identify apps which could be spying on you. It does this by analyzing the combination of permissions granted to each app.
For example, an app which can determine your exact location is fine: an app that can determine your location and report it back to someone else using SMS or the internet is more risky. A well-known messaging app which also tracks your location and your phone calls for no valid reason is definitely questionable, as many people have only just discovered.
This is a free app: if you like it or find it useful, please consider buying me a coffee (in app purchase) to encourage future development.

I really enjoyed this app, and it does exactly what it says. And it does not ask you for any permissions it's only informs you of other applications on your phone that are asking for permissions that maybe a little bit suspicious, and you can take a look and decide for yourself whether or not you would like to decline permission or altogether remove the app. This was a helpful app that informed me of third-party apps that were collecting my information without me even realizing. A+ 💚

Do you know which apps can completely screw you? You can turn the tables by revoking invasive permissions! Every mobile device can spend money, watch you, eaves drop, track you, monitor and modify phone conversations, send texts, pinpoint your location, tell your proximity to your mobile device, your home address, phone logs, contacts, calendar, without you knowing, and transmit this information all over the globe! See what is going on behind your back! You will never be without this app again!

Totally disappointing, and the help page is uninformative and misleading. It led me to believe that there was a way to list applications, not by specific permissions, but by any uncommonly broad and/or questionable permissions. This has just a list of abilities and selecting lists apps with permissions to do that. There are very few choices, and you can't even select a bunch of permissions to show apps matching. Android has better way to select any permission and list apps. This is useless IMHO

So, I found a 2gb folder that had copies of all my JPEG pics in it... Not sure why .there was even new recent stuff from when I wasn't using the app. Found it using disc space explorer, and open as photo in explore file manager. Android/data/com.alison research. Paranoid. Photo cache / each file was abounded 1.5mb all numbers, no file extension 2gb total. Guys website kinda talks about the virtues of data mining... It maybe somehow be a function of the app... but im not liking it
