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.
