Whether you're concerned about security or just plain curious, aSpotCat is a powerful application that not only shows what permissions all of your applications and games are using, but also explains in a logical manner what those permissions do... Highly recommended!

Hi, Im using this App for quite long, it just for me to get to know more informations about the apps permissions. Please tell me what the meaning of protection level is signature, and theres a strikeout in the permission words. Does the app is allowed or not permitted? Im still using OS version jellybean and I dont see any settings to control the Apps permissions, Do we have any ways to see which permissions are allowed and which permissions need to ask whenever it requires the permissions? Thanks

Every app on the phone is listed as dangerous. No explanation of how to use this app properly. This app is considered dangerous. I noticed it is a data miner. Just another app to give you advertisements, that you never wanted or asked for...REPLY: your product is junk. Not worth the time or effort of an E-mail!!!

The Play Store is a minefield; it's a real shame we can't deny permissions without rooting. This app helps a little.

Although not the sort of app you'll need very often, aSpotCat is perfect at what it does. The developer has been with the Android community for many years and continues to update this app.

used it a couple times, already over 2mb traffic? otherwise does the job, but i dont remember viewing video adds.

Z70%
by Z####:

If you care about privacy this app is great. But, 'RL Permissions' is a better app (because that requires no permissions itself!).

S70%
by S####:

I like this UI better than "RL Permissions" but this app requires permissions. How ironic.
