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.

Z70%
by Z####:

The app shows you the permissions but does not allow you to change them... Kind of pointless, not much of a manager. Should be called permission "viewer", because this app does not let you manage anything.

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.

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

Y70%
by Y####:

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.

P70%
by P####:

Please tell me how to deny the apps permission with this app

H70%
by H####:

Useful information simply presented, which can be amended by Settings. Gives information on both downloaded and vendor installed apps. No permissions make it special.

X70%

Just needs more ways to cut / filter / view the db reports.

Shows apps with disabled permissions as if they still do require these permissions

U70%

Such a useful app. Would be great to see it with a refreshed Material design. Hope that's in the works.

Works but not best

K70%
by K####:

Nice to see this focus instead of 'bloating' with unnecessary features (I'm looking at previous reviews). AppOp isn't this app's fault (...like: my 4.4.4 has AppOp) and permission management isn't this app's intended function. If you want to take it a new direction, you can fork it from open source and make the changes yourself (a really nice gesture by the author, by the way).
