About Permission Pilot
Permission Pilot is a new kind of app to help you review apps and their permissions. With each Android update permissions are getting more complex.

Permission Pilot lists all permissions in a single location, giving you a bird's eye view of app permissions. Two perspectives are available: You can either view all permissions an app requests, or view all apps that request a permission.
