Comments on Detective Droid for Android

★★★★★ A Google User · Sep 2, 2014

Does what it says on the box! Great stuff! Now we just need a meta version so we can check out detective droid too ;)

★★★★★ Ben · Feb 3, 2025

All apps should be made like this. The task at hand, presented nicely in that good 'ol Android display. No hidden features or useless bells and whistles. Quite refreshing, tbh, knowing there's still developers/coders that work in this fashion.

★★★★★ A Google User · Sep 2, 2014

Perfect Works exactly as I expected and does what it advertises. This is a great tool for any programmer to see what libraries other developers are using in their apps.

★★★★☆ Nayanesh Gupte · Dec 18, 2015

Nice! Is it showing only popular known libraries ? Couldn't see some 3rd party SDKs listed here.

★★★★★ Zahid Shaikh · Jul 16, 2022

Really helped me in analyzing the apps and making a robust decision in choosing the framework for developing new apps

★☆☆☆☆ aina cab world · Apr 27, 2023

It does not show me anything about what are being used by companies to build their own apps. Shows nothing useful like, what technologies have been used, etc. You will know what I am saying when you try it with your own App.

★★☆☆☆ A Google User · Sep 9, 2014

Won't open on my Nexus 7 Works on my Samsung GS2 but takes several minutes to load. To be honest, I can't even see what it does. As far as I can tell, it tells me what ad apps are running on my phone.

★☆☆☆☆ Libor Panský · Sep 20, 2018

Application does not work on my Nexus 5X. Detective Droid crashes immediately after analyzing all installed apps. Moreover, I would welcome an option of selection which apps should be analyzed, I don't want to wait 10 minutes for the process to end to analyse all apps, if I want to check just a single one...
