This dataset contains information about 188,389 Android applications, collected in November 2011.
For each application, the dataset provides the permissions requested by the application, the price, the number of downloads, the average user rating, and a short prosaic description.

The data collection method as well as some basic statistics can be found in the extended author version of the corresponding paper.
