## Reviews

### "Best IDE for creating Android APKs" — 5.0/5

> **Eric** | *16 March 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: De-facto standard for creating Android applications. Does as promised\!
> 
> **Cons**: We used a hybrid system where our frontend is rendered with React in the Android application. Didn't integrate completely with Android Studio and still required some manual steps during the build.
> 
> Positive experience. Builds the Android app including the manifest ready for submission to the Play store.

### "Android Studio, my stepping stone to app development." — 5.0/5

> **Dawn** | *1 August 2025* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The efficiency and the flow is the main key that raises the bars of Android Studio. Special appreciation for the User Interface.
> 
> **Cons**: Often faced errors while setting up the on device simulator to test the apps other that it is a game changer.
> 
> Incredible performance, and user friendly. I've been using Android Studio for a while and have completed few projects written in Kotlin and Flutter language. Proud moment for me, as my first Android App was built using Android Studio and the journey I had was truly challenging but with this, it was a lot more easier.

### "The only tool for android dev" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *27 March 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It was the only reliable way for me to run an app through a suite of tests. The appium connector was mostly used in tandem with android studio to achieve this. Really convenient.
> 
> **Cons**: The amount of battery that android studio consumes (on my macbook pro m4) is insane. I wish it was a little bit more efficient.
> 
> It's literally the only tool that does what I need for app development. In particular, I use it to figure out which selectors actually work for certain tasks in appium

### "Goggle products frustrate me" — 3.0/5

> **Monica** | *10 May 2024* | Arts & Crafts | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I can’t say I did. I am an Apple user at heart, so Android anything just drives me nananas.
> 
> **Cons**: The fact that it is an Android. I mean honestly I can’t find anything better than Apple\!
> 
> I was completely frustrated and done. I soon switched back to my Apple products.

### "Best IDE for android and flutter projects" — 4.0/5

> **Anonymous User** | *18 November 2024* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easily integration with android virtual devices and 100% compatibility with flutter projects
> 
> **Cons**: Android virtual devices sometimes don't run as expected
> 
> I like writing code with smart code suggesting, a lot of pluggings that helps write code fastest and a great interface
