App Detective
Starting from the list of installed apps, which you can filter and sort in many ways, you can dive in to look at the innermost details of specific apps.
Details shown include
- version information
- full Android manifest file viewer (with syntax coloring)
- signatures
- permissions
- activities, receivers, services etc
- resources
- libraries
- installation dates
- file sizes
- code packagesand much more.
More Pro features, which will tell you even more about your installed apps, are under development.
This app requires no specific permissions to run.
You will find App Detective especially useful and interesting if you are an app developer, or currently use any of AppXplore, App Inspector, AppBrain Ad Detector, Apk Manager Plus, ManifestViewer or any other app that offers app management or app inspection features.

Rated two stars, because when i first downloaded this, it worked perfectly on my Moto Z. Then about three days, to almost 5 it won't scroll, then force closes as if there is to much memory or ram being used. Or, or it could just be set up to do that in a certain time limit of not giving up money to you. Idk, but it sure didn't give me enough time with it, to see if that could be an option for me and you. So basically this app is now worthless, as it won't even open now, had to uninstall.
It's an excellent app, it's extremely though and gives you all the info you need and don't. For first time users, just load the app and let it sit for a few minutes it takes a bit of time to retrieve all the info. It's the same when you click on an app, just wait while it loads everything, after all the lines on top go away all the info will load and you can view an in depth assesment of the app.
This is would be a very powerful tool, if it worked that is.. It has the potential but it is so laggy and buggy to the point of being effectively unusable. I wish it was updated and maintained by the developer..
Nice, but slow when it detects Install Date, Android suggests to kill it. Please optimize logic, so interface doesn't hang while it determines Install Date. But this App is better than ton of useless (IMHO) apps that just display list of Apps.
Does exactly what I needed it to. Exactly what is says it does and requires no permissions. Not sure why all the bad reviews. Serves it's purpose and is set up nicely and user friendly. I would think even non savvy people could easily figure it out without issues. Nice job devs.
Just fixed charging port on this phone recently it only took 3 years. A lot of outdated apps, but this app still doing it's job since day 1. No issues and this is a cheap Alcatel 5054n I'm using. Only issue I got is not used to the lollipop android version software it literally took me bout 5 minutes to write this comment.
I really like the app I wish it would not freeze up so much. Very informative and organized. Let's get these bugs fixed and I'll make it 5*.
5 stars... I installed an app on my old phone(on this one:D) about 2 years ago but I wasn't sure about the exact date so I was looking for an app that can tell me when did I installed that specific app and it worked perfectly... thanks :) Too bad you give up on updating it :(
App freezes a lot and you can't use it properly to check some info. Need to stop app ou wait for a long time to be able to open it.
slow, lacks a search function. I only installed to see a single date of an app I installed. No easy way to get there. Lots of slow scrolling while it loads information on apps I don't want. How is a search option not a thing?
on my motorola with android 7.0 it shows 159 apps and gets immediately very slow and unusable. but great idea.
Awesome App 😄👍👍👍 Shows all information about an app! I wanted to know the install date of an app and it really helped me.😘😘😘
It constantly freezes. Cannot scroll down half of the list of apps.
I recently downloaded your app. It was a lot of fun. Up till the point i saw you had a pro pay version of your app.... was even more SSSSSAAAADDDDDEEEERRRR when i find out there isnt a pro version to downlaod... ouch!!! where is the the PRO VERSION??
Extremely comprehensive metadata overview. The best I have found. Excited for Pro features availability.
THIS IS AN AMAZING APP. IT SHOWS YOU INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR PHONE, THAT YOU CANNOT SEE WITH ANY OTHER APP. IT SHOWS YOU WHICH PERMISSIONS EACH APP USES. I PROMISE YOU WILL BE VERY PLEASED WHEN YOU DOWNLOAD THIS APP. YOU WILL BE ENLIGHTENED BY THE KNOWLEDGE YOUR PHONE HAS BEEN HIDING. TRY IT.
On Pixel 3.Clunky UI that is slow and jerky movement.
List of over 400 apps takes 10-20 seconds for each scroll. This is painful.
Crashes and freezes everytime within seconds. 5 stars if it didn't
Wouldn't respond and only bases off of apps you currently have when I was looking for one from January.
i have almost 300 apps, it slows to crawl by the time i get to s then shuts down
your application has enrichened my ability to understand and to better apply all applications within my manifest. much love and respect.
Not user friendly no directions on how to delete or what is bad for your phone.
Ive learned a ton just from this app, it's simple & comprehensive.
I like the app a lot I just wish I knew what the different color sections mean
I've had this app for quite some time now, it user to work like a charm. I mainly used it to check out app manifests, to look for suspicious behaviour. But since at least a year or so, I haven't been able to use the manifest viewer at all. When I try to open a manifest file, it'll load the file in the manifest viewer, yet no text is displayed. I was wondering if this is a known bug? And is there any way to solve this specific issue? Aside from that it's a great app, and very usefull tool! :)
