About this app

Take a deep look inside the apps on your device, to see all the secret details.

App Detective allows you to take a really deep look inside the apps that you have installed on your device.

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 packages

and 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.

What's New in the Latest Version 1.5 alpha 2

Last updated on Jan 21, 2021 Updated to know about later versions of Android, and to speed up some operations.

The app still needs no permissions to tell you about your apps, and in particular accomplishes all its investigation without Internet access. You can use the app itself to see how rare that is!

Current Play Store policies have forced a rebuild of the app targetting a later version of Android, which has caused the size to increase, but it still manages to pack a lot of features into a comparatively small app size.
