Description
Addons Detector detects addons used by your installed applications. It has all the tools to find push notification ads, popup ads and icon ads.
If you are looking for the app that uses AirPush or other push notifications, you can easily find the app and uninstall.
If you are getting popup ads on your device, make sure to read the help text inside the app. It explains how to get rid of them.
Besides push notifications, using this app is a great way to see what advertising agencies apps use, and what tools they have integrated.
Does the normal scan not detect the spam ads? Enable the notification monitor and you can easily see which program puts a notification in your notification area.
Another cool feature that we added is the live scanner. This scanner scans newly installed and updated apps for selected addon categories and displays a notification if they are found. This feature is reserved for users that have donated.
**To support us you can now easily donate through inapp billing.**

*** Known issues *** Samsung Galaxy 3 keeps talking to me when on my home screens saying folder is open or similar. This seems to be an ICS/Samsung bug. It happens for some people and also with other apps that use the accessibility service such as Tasker, Light Flow and others.
Try to fix it: Samsung S3: - Go to Settings -> Accessibility -> Talkback "ON" - Select "Settings" from the bottom of the page - Uncheck all Talkback options - Switch Talkback "Off" again - Go back to Settings -> Application manager -> All - Disable Google TTS (text to speech) - Disable Samsung TTS (text to speech)

DISCLAIMER: We can't guarantee that our results are 100% correct. Sometimes addons, like pushnotifications, are integrated in larger sdk's, and the developer doesn't need to use them, although we detect them. We strive to be conservative about marking apps as suspected, but errors can occur.

Comments on Addons Detector for Android
★★★★★
One of the most important apps to Install if you want any control over your privacy and security: block lists are no good if they don't block what's on *your* device - and this is how you find out what's on your device. It's not an anti-malware solution - ignore people complaining it does nothing (they haven't learned to read). Use this to find out what ad networks and analytics are in your apps and block them with a firewall like NetPatch Firewall and you will learn the value of this app.

Had a chrome popup issue. Used this to scan my phone and found the offending app by install date. Beautiful, thank you developers
★★☆☆☆
I installed this app because of my concerns with the amount of spying on cell phones. Unfortunately it has been running in the background 99% of the time. When I try to stop it, it only stays stopped till I close the window and then restarts. It has some reallt cool options but is useless for me. Uninstall

I am unable to download this app and it's driving me nuts. Any ideas? This is a brand new phone. Plenty of storage.
★★☆☆☆
Most of the features not working. Did not show any notification or manage to scan any. Very buggy on some Android 9.0 devices. I have donated but it doesn't show that. Please fix this please.
