Android Studio Reviews & Product Details

Android Studio's logcat filtering is a very useful when debugging flaky Espresso tests. The layout inspector helps me quickly identify UI elements for automation scripts, especially when devs forget to add proper IDs. Git integration works smoothly, we can switch between feature branches without leaving the IDE. The profiler caught a memory leak in our checkout flow that was causing random test failures.

Indexing takes forever after pulling latest changes. Sometimes the emulator just refuses to start and I have to restart the whole IDE. Gradle sync errors are cryptic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Android Studio makes app development easier with its smart code suggestions and built‑in tools like the emulator.

It’s user‑friendly yet powerful, so you can design, code, and test everything in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don’t like that Android Studio can feel slow to open and sometimes lags, especially if you’re not on a high‑end machine. The frequent updates and its heavy resource use can also be a bit frustrating at times Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most is how everything is in one place—UI design, code, testing, and even virtual devices. It’s beginner-friendly but also has powerful tools for when you grow. The code suggestions and error checking help a lot during development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can be a bit slow on low-end systems, especially during Gradle builds or when running emulators. Also, updates sometimes break plugins or cause compatibility issues which can be frustrating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a mobile application developer, I find Android Studio extremely useful for running applications on various Android simulation platforms. It also allows me to customise these simulators according to my specific testing needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As Android Studio gets updates frequently its tough to follow up on the newly launched updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate all the features, especially the built-in Git support, code management tools, and the user interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes Gradle gets stuck, which can be very frustrating. It also uses a lot of memory and takes quite a while to load large projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have used Android Studio as my main IDE for Android development in my office for 2 years. I have used it frequently for developing, debugging and testing the app with it.

1. Tools for developers: There are multiple useful tools in Android studio such as mock location and configurable network latency. This helps reliably test the location-based features by setting different geolocations. Network throttling helped me develop and debug how my app works when connections are slow.

2. Camera Flexibility: Android studio also lets us choose an external camera as the default camera for the emulator device. This helps testing camera / media related feature easier.

3. Rich ecosystem: We can easily optimize the workflow and adapt the environment to our needs as Android studio offers vast set of plugins, sophisticated debugging tools, integration with Gradle for project library management and easy integration.

4. Ease of implementation: This lets user create and setup the new projects with minimal code implementation. There's intuitive layout editor with drag and drop UI design and strong code completion support. This helps in rapid application development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. AVD instability: Sometimes AVDs become unresponsive and require restarting the emulator or android studio to make it work again. Sometimes this becomes annoying and hampers the productivity.

2. Few Customizations for AVDs: Android Studio allows creating only pixel virtual devices. There are only few skins for few Samsung devices, but it only adds the skin, and all the hardware details are required to be configured manually.

3. Inadequate VPN/ proxy support: When I try to test my app with my corporate proxy, the emulator does not show internet connectivity, and I need to connect to mobile hotspot to test the app. Even setting proxies in emulated devices does not work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate how many features it offers, making it nearly impossible not to find what I want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
