Description
Due to my lack of time to update this application, it is now OPEN-SOURCED. Please check https://code.google.com/p/android-permission-explorer/ and contact me via Google Code for more information./* No permission required to use this app, no ads. Does only what you want it to do */
For bugs or improvements, please contact me by mail so I can get a better explanation than just a comment.
Permission explorer shows to you how your installed applications can access to your system :
- View by categories : Which applications can access to your localization, contacts, calendar...
- View by applications : Which permissions are used by your applications
- View by permissions : Which applications are using each permission
Keywords : permission, permissions, explorer, privacy

Great! But also needs to list apps that require no permissions.

Does exactly what it claims, and is quite useful This isn't an alternative to something like Permission Friendly Apps (which rates how dangerous apps are), but rather it is an extremely handy complement. You can easily see which apps use a particular permission, as well as which apps ask for the most permissions (which are often but not always the most dangerous apps). System (built-in?) apps can be hidden, which is very useful (and should be the default IMHO). The GUI works well. It puts the most commonly-used permissions (and apps using the most permissions) at the top. Thankfully tapping on an app/permission opens a new 'window' (rather than showing it within the same list). Sadly it does not handle landscape mode (which would be really useful for the Preferences, which are chopped-off by my screen). And it doesn't provide any details about permissions beyond their basic name, but these are usually descriptive enough that I can overlook that. Still giving it 5 stars (rather than 4), as it seems very stable, it is free, and doesn't need any stupid permissions (nor show any adverts). Many thanks!

Very useful but could be more visual, with app icons etc. Also, could point out weird permission combinations, e.g. a flashlight app requesting to read my SMS etc.
