Dear play store: let me search by permissions. Or to sort by low-permissions. When I want a flashlight app, I want to be able to search for things that only use the camera system.
I appreciate that Android lets developers and users do what they want and lets Users know what the applications have permission to do, but if you have to snoop at every application's specific details to find this out, it's not really good for those of us who care about such things.
A big problem is some of the permissions have terrible names - stuff like "read phone state and identity" - what freaking user is going to know what that means?
