## Reviews

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

> **Verified Reviewer** | *March 27, 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

### "Good IDE for mobile app. Great Emulator." — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *April 6, 2026* | Human Resources | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Powerful IDE focused on android development. It is feature packed with essential functions such as built-in emulator which is the most useful feature for my mobile app developments.
> 
> **Cons**: Very resource heavy program, even on high-end PC I'm currently using, I'm, still experiencing lags and freezes. It is also not very easy to learn and may be more time consuming to develop an android app.
> 
> Android Studio is a great tool for mobile developers. White the IDE is not easy to use and very resource heavy, the emulator alone is worth the install for easier android app testing and debugging.

> **Dawn** | *August 1, 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.
