if your iOS devices are jailbroken you can buy Firewall IP. It will alert you to any outbound connections an app tries to make. You can choose to allow or deny any and all connections one-time, for your session or forever. It's a pretty nice program, similar to Little Snitch on Mac OS X. Well worth the money in my opinion. If you have more than one device you can buy it once and run it on all of them.
Just be warned, if you load new apps frequently you will get alerts often. If they get annoying and you disable it then you won't really have any protection.
It's also very useful for blocking connections to mobile ad servers.
