Ratings won't really work for any time delay trojan.
You need to be severe with permissions, even for well rated apps.

There we go, Snapchat with its easy peazy backdoor.

4.6 million user details released for what very very lazy Snapchat fobbed off as theoretical.

What's the best way to do that?

If they ask for multi permissions you have to decide whether you can do without the app and if you want to hand to the author all the detail requested.

The best genuine utilities don't ask for any permissions and/or use the minimum necessary to function.
