App Manager.
By Muntashir Akon
App Manager is an Android toolbox for inspecting the apps already on a phone. It lists activities, permissions, tracker classes and storage, and it can back up APK files. The project describes itself as copylefted GPLv3+ software and links F-Droid plus GitHub releases. The store description checked today does not state a numeric price.
The F7 Insight
Installed apps are usually a grid of icons. App Manager is worth a look because it shows the parts behind an icon, from exported activities to tracker classes, before you decide what stays on the phone.
