The PFA application, "Permission Friendly Apps", allows you to quickly browse permissions that you assigned to the applications you have installed.

Permissions are rights of access to services and resources of your phone or tablet. They are classified into two categories by Android: the normal and the dangerous one. The danger of a permission means that a malicious use could possibly be done particularly with regard to your personal information and your wallet.

PFA order all your applications based on the number of permissions authorized by weighting more important those defined as dangerous by Android.

Three types of applications are distinguished by the following three icons:

means an application that requires no permission.

means an application that contains only "normal" permissions and no "dangerous" permission.

means an application that contains one or more "dangerous" permissions.

For each application with dangerous permissions you need to ask yourself the following questions:

- Do these permissions are justified by the announced use of the application?

- Does the application vendor is trustworthy?

If you have any doubt, it is better to uninstall the application and find a equivalent to the Market that seems more serious and requires less permissions.

You can mark trusted applications by selecting the check mark located on the right of application's title. The application will appear in the list with the following icon . You can choose whether to display trusted applications using the button in the header bar of the list.

On the other hand, PFA, aims to highlight and encourage applications that require no permission. These are usually applications that do not contain nor advertising which is another reason to support them.

PFA also lets you filter the list of applications matching a given permission. Pressing the button you can select the permission for which you want to list all applications. you can change the filter criteria by pressing it.
