Apps but contains summaries and a rating system which helps you decide whether you want to download an application or not. The book covers information on security, how to find more apps and discusses permissions. Each app has either a 0, red or green permissions rating based on the risk level of the permission requested. This means you can see at a glance what the ‘risk’ is and get a feel for what is normal for a particular type of app. These permissions are explained at the beginning of the book to help in any future search in the ever expanding marketplace. A special section ‘For Children’ contains apps especially suited for younger android users.
