This one gets decent ratings and no unnecessary permissions. Again, there seems to be a problem with it not working on Kindle Fire. I did download it and it is an okay photo editor.

I downloaded it too, it looks pretty good.

Yikes, least you could do is find me a good beer drinking app. Since I can't drink real beer for a few more weeks, virtual is all that is left...

Pocket Informant 3 is the 12/18 app.

Pocket Informant 3 is not simply the next version of our productivity app. It has totally redesigned user interface, new database and sync code, which makes it much faster and more reliable. To achieve this we had to rewrite around 90% of the app and while there are many new features in version 3, some of the old version 2 features are still not included.

You do not have to remove Pocket Informant 2 from your device to install this version.

If you really need another recipe book, this one got good reviews. You apparently need to be online to use it. Personally, even if my wife did let me cook, I would not go anywhere near it with these permissions.

Buttons and Scissors (Pro) is the 12/20 app.

Cut off the sewing buttons in the logic game Buttons and Scissors! To cut off the buttons, select two or more buttons of the same color. You can select buttons only on the same horizontal, vertical or diagonal line. Cut off all the buttons from the scrap of denim to complete the level. Try to complete each level in the shortest time possible to get a better score.

I actually downloaded this one. It got very good reviews and no real permissions. It is a fun logic game and has 2400 levels.
