PocketPermissions - Better Safe Than Sorry

[wicked]

​

​

This app was made by a friend and an "official app developer" on some of our sister sites. The same man who brought us BlueMuze and Listables!

Pocket Permissions:

How to be safe, find trusted apps, & avoid viruses. A guide for Android apps.This is a guide that hopes to give the basic info most people want to know about the security of their phones, and when to download, and when not to download applications. This app is perfect for beginners and experienced users alike

It's my hope that this will help people make more informed decisions and be safe about their application usage, privacy, and data. It is my firm belief that Android is a fundamentally safe platform and that with some common sense diligence and the right knowledge of the potential threats users can rest assured and enjoy their devices more thoroughly.

​

FEATURES
• Explains permissions and why they matter
• Tips on good safety habits
• Details the possible dangers out there
• Search for permissions
