Description

Google Play will no longer warn you if an app developed for Android M requires the INTERNET permission. However, it's sometimes nice to know if a calculator or flashlight app requests the INTERNET permission. Permissions Watchdog helps you to determine if an app requires the INTERNET permission.

There are two ways in which the app can be triggered:
1. Right after installing an app, a notification will warn you if the app you just installed requests the INTERNET permission
2. On any Google Play app page, tap Share --> "Check permissions" to find out if an app requires the INTERNET permission even before installing it

Comments on Permissions Watchdog for Android

★★★★★ Just installed without any issues on my Note 4 Edge running KitKat 4.4.4 and has already given indications of several apps that I have recently installed that never requested Internet access orginally. An underhand act by Google but counteracted by excellent software. My congratulations and thanks Dev.

★★★★★ Great little app! Doesn't just tell you if a given app. has the "internet" permission, but all any given app's permissions. It is a little ironic that it reports itself as having the "internet" permission, but the author has explained it needs to to check on other apps to me personally by Google+.

★★★★★ Does the trick

★★★★★ Nice app does exactly what it says it does.. The only improvement I could suggest is the ability to set an alarm for other permissions that the user would like to monitor

★★☆☆☆ Good idea but the app load is super slow and blocks the UI for several seconds.

★★☆☆☆ App is not able to chech permissions on note5.
