For the out of the loop, but also lazy:

Android app that reveals installed apps which may be leaking your location data.

Additional info for the lazy: the name of the company is "Gravy Analytics", hence the name "Gravy Scanner" for this app. It's a large data broker, and they don't bother with pesky little details like "informed consent".

Anyway, they got hacked a month ago, and the hackers threatened to publicly release all the data.
