How do I specify that I do not wish to see apps that require for example internet access? Or to only show apps that use a specific permission?
A specific repository with search on its webpage? An app that provides searching the Play Store?
Answer
UPDATE: Currently not functional according to Google Play store listing.
If you're interested, I've developed an app, StripSearch, to filter search listings by the permissions used. The app works by excluding results that don't meet the permission requirements specified by a given search filter (a filter can exclude, require, or ignore specific permissions). Several filters are included by default, but you can create your own as well.
Get StripSearch here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hasslefixes.stripsearch
If you want to see a demo explaining its usage, you can watch a video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mynw3rbky5A
StripSearch is free, does not include ads or spyware, and only uses the following permissions:
- android.permission.INTERNET (obviously needed to search the store)
- com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES (needed to obtain the Google Play Android ID tied to your phone and account)
Giv it a try!
