Level protection signature Hi, Im using this App for quite long, it just for me to get to know more informations about the apps permissions. Please tell me what the meaning of protection level is signature, and theres a strikeout in the permission words. Does the app is allowed or not permitted? Im still using OS version jellybean and I dont see any settings to control the Apps permissions, Do we have any ways to see which permissions are allowed and which permissions need to ask whenever it requires the permissions? Thanks

JUNK Don't download ad scam JUNK Every app on the phone is listed as dangerous. No explanation of how to use this app properly. This app is considered dangerous. I noticed it is a data miner. Just another app to give you advertisements, that you never wanted or asked for...REPLY: your product is junk. Not worth the time or effort of an E-mail!!!

Aspotcat? Totally useless. Doesn't control anything, just a waste of time.

Powerful, easy-to-use application. Whether you're concerned about security or just plain curious, aSpotCat is a powerful application that not only shows what permissions all of your applications and games are using, but also explains in a logical manner what those permissions do... Highly recommended!

Brook Elliot July 26, 2015

Thanks, useful Great app. Thank you for making this. I have just one request. Could you make a category that shows a list of apps that are capable of causing wakelocks?

Sam Lu July 28, 2015

Yes, you can do that by adding "android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" into the bookmarks list

Cne. R. February 12, 2016

Would save me a lot of time if find it years ago. Silly fellows rated it lower than 4 stars.

James Thomas August 22, 2015

Thanks. The Play Store is a minefield; it's a real shame we can't deny permissions without rooting. This app helps a little.

Chris Lechat October 8, 2015

Trust Noone. A great way to check for shady apps on your devices!

A Google User January 14, 2016

Must have Very useful app

William Bedard May 7, 2015

Although not the sort of app you'll need very often, aSpotCat is perfect at what it does. The developer has been with the Android community for many years and continues to update this app.

Paula Just got it sound good

Amalia Al-Ajman June 29, 2015

Excellent

David Godfrey October 30, 2014

Fabulous I love being able to easily see which programs have which permissions and my daughter just loves looking at the cat.

Mark D. November 17, 2014

Solved my problem !

Eric Reis October 4, 2014

Nice app Lite and informative.

Daniel Bitter May 5, 2014

Exactly what I needed Does a great job of categorizing things. Short of manually auditing all my apps and comparing them/their req'd permissions to the results of aSpotCat, I don't know how to tell how accurate it is, but I think we can assume it's accurate. Also, 5-star review #666! :D

Alex Rock November 7, 2013

Works perfect Does exactly what I wanted, shows apps grouped by permission, and you can go in and see the fine gained permissions. Has explanations as well.

Pete Shelby March 20, 2014

aSot Cat: Installed on Google Nexus 7. Haven't given a full test drive yet but, I'm sure it'll run as well as all of the other apps by Sam Lu. He makes great programs and I've never had a problem with any of his work. I'll update after I run this.

Derek P December 19, 2013

Limited There were permissions, such as startup, that I specifically was looking for that this app doesn't show but others do. It's not horrible but there are better ones out there

Gretchen Haigwood February 21, 2014

I hope this work I hope this work i had try a lot of sd naw of them didn't work .

Steven Go September 18, 2014

Awesome app Wanted to list apps with WakeLocks permission. Gets the job done! Thanks dev!

Joe May 31, 2014

Requires too many permissions... ...for a permissions monitoring app

Absolutly Great!!!

James Hatton May 15, 2013

Does exactly as you'd expect Would be awesome to programmatically restrict some applications but I'd say that would require root access to work and not be free? This good as it is tho, keep up the good work.

Tim Hutt July 28, 2013

Reports all your installed apps to authors. A privacy focused app that violates your privacy? Great!

Good (but ugly) UI Helpful organization. Easy to figure put what permissions mean. I wish it didn't customize the UI so much (it's ugly and unprofessional looking).
