"Smooth, All-in-One App Development on macOS"
What do you like best about Android Studio?

Since i worked in Mac OS, i feel it works very smooth with it, easy to install the Emulators,Plugins. Recently we faced a problem in old device, thing was working on new version mobile phones but error was comming in old outdated devices, i installed an old Virtual device.

inbuild logcat and terminal helps a lot to be on single software. the code editor provides features like smart code,syntax and error highlights,for example its a very common thing we forget to close the brackets for an function or class or a constructor, but this software helps to overcome these issues.

Multiple projects and OS can be managed. In short best tool for App development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Android Studio?

Main Reason i swiched from Windows to Macos is, i dont like is in Windows inspite of having good config of my pc, it lags sometimes, i have good ram and SSD.

it demands high config. end the end of the day we should keep everyone in mind, some can afford high config. machines some cant, it should be like it should allow lite apps with updated versions,

same like we have Facebook and Facebook Lite,

for high config. fb type can be used and for normal config. Lite type can be used,

main advantage is that both the apps are upto date with latest firmwares and all kind of user can use.

same like for Google we have GO apps with liter config devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamlined Multi-Device Testing and Debugging with Virtual Devices and Logcat"
What do you like best about Android Studio?

I like that I can run the apps I develop on virtual devices to test them before the production phase. When developing two apps for Wear OS smartwatches and Android phones, I can set up a single workspace and keep both projects there in one environment, while still running and debugging them separately. I also like the Logcat feature, which helps me debug and understand the root cause of an error by using embedded filters to isolate the issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Android Studio?

I don’t like that I have to sync the project with the Gradle files every time I update my code or add a new feature. This should happen automatically, similar to how saving works. Also, the new feature of integrating Gemini as a code assistant is very powerful, but it lacks context. It doesn’t seem to look at all of my code, only the part I mention or the area where there’s an error. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"An IDE That Grows With the Complexity of Your App"
What do you like best about Android Studio?

What I appreciate most about Android Studio is how deeply it understands the Android ecosystem. From project structure to build tools, everything feels purpose-built rather than generic. Features like intelligent code suggestion, real time layout previews, and integrated debugging make development feel guided instead of trial and error. It's especially helpful when working on complex screens or handling multiple build variants. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Android Studio?

Android Studio can be resource-heavy, especially on larger projects. Build times and indexing occasionally slow things down, and it requires a reasonably powerful machine to stay smooth. Updates are frequent, which is good, but sometimes they introduce small inconsistencies that need adjustment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful, User-Friendly Tool with Smart AI Features"
What do you like best about Android Studio?

I like many things in android studio as it is very powerfull tool for making android apps. Its built in emulator support helps a lot and it is overall very easy to use. We can even drag and drop the UI and make apps using Kotlin or java and it has AI features which made very easy to autofill or generate or correct our code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Android Studio?

The only thing i hate about it is that it is very heavy software and make my laptop heat too fast and even 16gb ram sometimes feel low for it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Integration and Powerful Features for Developers"
What do you like best about Android Studio?

The Ease of Integration with third-party libraries is a lifesaver. It’s incredibly developer-friendly: I just add the dependency line in the build.gradle file, sync it, and that's it. The IDE handles the library downloads and indexing flawlessly in the background. The Ease of Use regarding the Layout Inspector is also great for debugging; I can verify my UI hierarchy and attribute values in real-time without guessing. The Number of Features—especially the Network Profiler—saves me from writing complex interceptors just to check my API calls. I use this product frequently (daily) to write, debug, and ship my applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Android Studio?

The Ease of Implementation regarding the build system hits a snag with Gradle; it is a bit bulky and optimizing the build time often requires some "guesswork" and trial and error with daemon settings. Customer Support is a mixed bag—the community (StackOverflow) is huge and helpful, but waiting for an official fix on the Google Issue Tracker for a specific IDE bug can take a long time. Also, the memory consumption can be really high when I open multiple projects, which affects the system performance slightly. Still not available for windows on ARM Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful and Feature-Rich, but Resource-Intensive Android Development Tool"
What do you like best about Android Studio?

What I appreciate most about Android Studio is its all-encompassing and integrated development environment, which is designed specifically for Android app creation. It provides robust features such as intelligent code completion, real-time error detection, a versatile layout editor with drag-and-drop capabilities, and smooth integration with both the Android SDK and emulator. These tools collectively make the process of building, testing, and debugging Android applications both efficient and straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Android Studio?

One aspect I find frustrating about Android Studio is how resource-intensive it can be, often demanding a high-performance computer for smooth operation. The application sometimes takes a while to launch and may lag, especially during complex builds or when handling large projects. There are also occasional bugs or crashes that interrupt my workflow, and the frequent updates can sometimes bring new problems or require extra time to get used to.

One of the things I like most about it is how easy it is to use. The built-in Git feature allows me to access my projects effortlessly, and the autocomplete function is very helpful.

What do you dislike about Android Studio?
