*Feel free to email me with any questions. I always reply!*
This application will test the device for root (superuser) access using a very simple, quick, and reliable method that has been successful for over 50 million Android devices. The su binary is the most common binary used on Android devices to grant and manage root (superuser) access. Root Checker will check and verify that the su binary is located in a common standard location on the device. In addition, Root Checker will verify whether the su binary is properly functioning in granting root (superuser) access.
Many times users experience issues along the path of installing, configuring, and gaining root access or uninstalling and removing root access. For some users the process can seem complex while for others the process can seem simple. Regardless of the user's technical skill set, Root Checker, will quickly and correctly verify whether or not root access is 100% functioning. The process of confirming root access is sometimes known by other terms such as, gaining superuser access or gaining administrator access. Root Checker covers all these terms as they relate to one core function, being able to execute commands through the su binary with root access.
If the Superuser management applications (SuperSU, Superuser, etc.) are installed and working properly, these applications will prompt the user to accept or deny the root access request from Root Checker. Accepting the request will allow Root Checker to check for and confirm root access. Denying the request will result in Root Checker reporting no root access.
For scenarios when there is concern somebody else might have installed root access on the device, Root Checker can validate whether root access is installed providing more insight and knowledge.

Excellent app to simply check if your device is rooted properly. Some suggestions for users: Use an ad-blocking custom DNS (it's free) or support the developer. Turn off notifications for this app, you don't need them. If you do those things the app will load instantly and work very well.

Absolutely brilliant! It easily allows me to check the integrity of my root status with Magisk installed. I strongly recommend it!

Too many vendors to unchecked, add a reject All. Unusable. Edited, still the same, unable to use this as I'm not unchecking all of those vendors, possibly thousands.
★☆☆☆☆Ric Grimberz (Grimberz)· Oct 11, 2025
My mobile and my system are rooted but this app says it's not. But I can still use root only applications, so this app is either incorrect or it doesn't support blavkview mobiles

You said you don't want people to make bad comments against you and what you did is very bad you allow people to download your app that is not useful, and you expect people to pay money for what you did not allow people to test to know if it's working or not, if you want people to make positive comment about you give them three days trial
★☆☆☆☆Elias Ortega· Jun 17, 2025
Only detects very old methods or rooting, mainly SuperSU. Needs to be updated for current rooting method, magisk
★☆☆☆☆Mohammed Nooruddin· Jan 13, 2025
Please don't install this app. If you want to know that your device is rooted or not. It wouldn't tell you. Please check the other app.
