Common sense, reading reviews, checking permissions and a quick google if scared is all you need.

Best of all is free

No, but do some apps really need all those permissions?

It's security problems that allows you to jailbreak the iPhone in the first place.

I own an android phone and I downloaded 'Antivirus Free' which is made by android I think. It automaticaly scans every app I download and tells me if it's clean or infected. It might not be that vital but i'd rather be safe than sorry

I don't. Never felt the need for it. I'm used to Macs so I'm a bit lazy in that respect when it comes to anything!
