About Permissions Watchdog
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

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+.

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

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.

Does what it says in a simple way.

It simply detects if an app wants permission to connect to the Internet when you install it. Nothing more. Don't expect an alert when an installed app uses the connect to internet permission.
