Comments on Permission Explorer for Android

★★★★★ One first programs that show me what going on and were i can find a fix at least were to look and resolve issues on my phone just put in and will see how it goes if your looking for information this it.

★★★★★ No ads, zero unnecessary permissions, organized, and informative - exactly the way an app should be. The only thing I would add or change is a way to alphabetize lists to make it easier to find a particular app.

★★★★★ Your personal information is only private until it is not. It's incredible how much access we hand over to Apps. Great to be able to view all the permissions in use on the device. Very impressed.

★★☆☆☆ This app only show the permissions granted to an app, it doesn't have the ability to change those permissions

★★☆☆☆ Doesn't work at all we should have a option to delete certain apps. Everytime I press on a app for permission your yellow graph starts to load and page drops

★★☆☆☆ What's the use of just viewing Rename the app as permition viewer
