Description by Apparillos.com(from Google Play)
Deleting a file or directory does not remove the contents. Recovery tools can be used to restore the previous content.
AndroShredder allows to permanently destroy file contents and wipe previously used storage space, so that secret data can't be restored even by advanced recovery tools.
You can schedule tasks like wipe, shred, clear clipboard to run at a specific interval in background.
AndroShredder has been tested against several data recovery tools. None of them were able to recover data that was cleaned by AndroShredder.
Features + Can act as a share target, send files to AndroShredder e.g. from your camera or file manager app + Select multiple files and directories to shred + Search for pictures, videos or other file types + Can preview files before deletion (also PDF documents) + Cleans nested folders and their content + Clean (wipe) free space on any writable storage device (SSD cards, Hard Disks, USB flash drives etc.) + Tested against various recovery tools + Schedule tasks to run at a specific interval in background
Recent changes: + Added french translation + Bugfixes

Great shredder, but slow as molasses. No technical assistance from the developer... doesn't exist. Shreddit offers better shredding algorithms... Andro doesn't even tell you what the algorithms are - just the number of overwrites. Apparently there's no random characters and even could be ALL just 1's or just 0's!!! Wrote to the developer twice to find out.... NEVER replies. I still keep it just because Shreddit, every couple of months, randomly stops working, and I have to uninstall/reinstall.

Using Andro Shredder v1.31 "old-school" ver. Bec. The new vers. Are buggy or won't even launch. Click WIPE should show 4 wiping areas : ❶ InSD, ❷ Em/0, and ❸ ExSD (Rem.) and ❹ SMS (Partition) 👍. Note: ❶ Int SD and ❷ Em/0 share the same Flash/SD card, but both must show so make sure all 4 partitions are shown. Best Use: Clear Device Cache prior to wiping 4 partitions at Min setting then Clr Dev Cac again then click WIPE will show free space increase in Int SD and Em/0 so wipe ❶ and ❷ again.
★★☆☆☆
Have been using old version and totally satisfied. New version says things are shredded in just a second or two, but the files are still there. Can't be confident that wiped space is actually wiped. Hugely disappointed with update and already miss the old version. Better display in old version too. Would love the increased speed if it worked. Needed more and better testing. Now with further use am I updating the review to say that thumbnails of deleted files being left behind. Shredding is not working properly. Sometimes even full file gets left. Normal delete and then space wipe seems to work but this a very clunky workaround. Shopping for a new program now.
★★☆☆☆
I did the 8 pass shred on my micro SD, then used disk digger which could
still recover ALL the deleted content in seconds. This program doesn't
work.
