What are users saying about Privacy Inspector

U70%
by U####:

Does what it says - shows permissions for selected apps. Up to user to figure out if app is bad. No batch scan. No prob with lock ups. Evo 4g

U70%
by U####:

Don't use "awesome" to describe a security level. Works ok but a bit over zealous.

C70%
by C####:

This even marks lookout anti virus as Bad even though its made by the same company...this ain't worth the download

N70%
by N####:

This app is dangerous. It doesn't consider context and as a result it misinforms users with scary imagery. It is also very unstable.

L70%
by L####:

Try AlYac. Faster easier, makes things simpler to decide .To uninstall or just keep an eye.

O70%
by O####:

If I uninstalled all of the bad apps, I wouldnt have anything cool because most of my apps have adware.

U70%
by U####:

I would try the full version (Privacy Blocker), but the new, bullshit 15-minute market refund policy will not be enough to evaluate properly.

M70%
by M####:

This app misleads a person to think certain app is bad just because it request those permissions.

U70%
by U####:

I like it so far, but it freezes too frequently.

U70%
by U####:

Force closes without ever scanning anything. Completely useless.

U70%
by U####:

SUCKS!!!!!!! Continues to Force Close, don't know weather to waste my money for the other app! Going to uninstall this one until fixed!!!!

K70%
by K####:

Can not scan private apps? What crap.

E70%
by E####:

Why acess to my photos and files ? Is it really a app which protects privacy ???

Q70%
by Q####:

Id think performance could be improved. everyone shouldn't have to scan the same app twice. Calculate hash, compare to centralized database

M70%
by M####:

Crashes outright with no fc message on some apps like go launcher ex and others

Y70%
by Y####:

But the function buttons are so small that you easily hit the wrong one

M70%
by M####:

Why Privacy inspector not showing any permissions when I scan it knowing that it has full internet access and modify sd card

M70%
by M####:

Please update this app We need app Like this in the place store to help find the bad apps.

M70%
by M####:

Works perfectly on my DX. It's good to see what apps are doing, but getting ads in exchange for a free app isn't inherently bad.

M70%
by M####:

Tries to scan some apps and force closes with no error msg. Some apps just won't scan.

M70%
by M####:

A real good idea, just needs polishing.

M70%
by M####:

I use cyangenmod 7.1, a ROM that allows you to block an app's individual permissions. The ones displayed by the app NEVER match the OS. Pure bunk!!

D70%
by D####:

Great app! Crashes a fair amount when scanning larger apps but probably phone limitation - MB300 2.1u1

M70%
by M####:

It can't scan facebook, it shuts down the app after a min of trying, yet I have no issues with other apps. Has facebook added a code in to stop such apps discovering it's secrets?

W70%
by W####:

Works as promised. I've cleared house of "Bad" apps from my Droid. Very stylish GUI.

M70%
by M####:

Would be a really good app if it didn't force close pretty much every time

V70%
by V####:

This app sucks! Cost 2 bucks. Doesn't fix anything fails every time!!!!

X70%
by X####:

How in the world does Pandora get a good rating?!?

M70%
by M####:

Haven't had much time with it but so far so good

G70%
by G####:

Just force closes everytime.

M70%
by M####:

Seems really good, works well on HTC desire

Q70%
by Q####:

Scanned my app list and says my Avast antivirus is bad news, along with ALL other apps. Its a no-fix app. Just scans and then for a possible fix, you have to buy the paid version. Bait and switch!! Im uninstalling. Waste of time.

S70%
by S####:

I really like what this app does. Although some apps do take a while to scan. Forces closes as well.

T70%
by T####:

... but some issues: "Fingerprints Failed!" error, and the blanket labelling of apps as "overall: Bad" might mean a lot of apps will suffer a bad rep even if they legitimately need to ID your device (e.g. Titanium Backup shouldn't be trusted according to this). Cancelling a scan (e.g. Google Maps) seems to hang the app. Overall: Good Start but Needs Work!

T70%
by T####:

sure how well it works..Doesn't find permissions the apps actually asks for during installation (like phone id), but does find permissions they didn't ask for (like phone id).. I would love the app if it did find hidden permissions, but I'm skeptical since it doesn't find some of the open permissions.. 3 stars since I don't know if its good or bad!

S70%
by S####:

It protects the privacy of the users from unwanted permissions.. But app is unable 2 fix problems.. It requires paid version to fix d problems

X70%
by X####:

Don't waste your time or money on this. It does not work!

T70%
by T####:

Nice GUI, otherwise it is useless single-threaded java decompiler. Will not detect most privacy issues and easy to get around. False sense of privacy.

T70%
by T####:

I really do hope this app is accurate.... I couldn't believe all the apps...that I had to remove from my device.....due to privacy invasion.....If apps doesn't pass your test...first and foremost....then they won't be added ...Thanks guys....

T70%
by T####:

Being new to a smartphone... its great that this app helps uncover things I wouldn't know.
