"Stetho is really nice tool"
4/5
What do you like best about Stetho?

Stetho really helps my debugging and testing my applications. It is extendable and provide all the information you need for database , network and logging perspective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stetho?

It does not have many integrations with other libraries. It will be nice to have some other repo with all the integrations that people can contribute to. For example is https://github.com/facebook/stetho/tree/master/stetho-okhttp which is part of the Stetho repository but if all the libraries make module like that one it will be messy.

"Helpful for debugging"
4/5
What do you like best about Stetho?

I liked being able to see layouts in chrome developer tools. I used to do a lot of web design and used Chrome dev tools a lot, so this is a comfortable environment for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stetho?

I wish you could get more info about the actual names of the layout items and interact with them in the same way you would a webpage w/ chrome dev tools Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When connected to chrome dev tools, app runs slow. But it is acceptable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"working with Stetho saved me lot of time of debuging"

What do you like best about Stetho?

what I like best it is how easy is to implement it and start using it. That's a big point for this library. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stetho?

I dislike that I had to use it thorugh Chrome, It would be better to have a plugin in Android Studio in order to not leave the IDE when you are testing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Helpful debugging with Steth"
3/5
What do you like best about Stetho?

Mostly the 2 major features: 1. Show the layout in tree mode, making it easy to identify what's wrong with the layout setting. 2. The network, with okhttp involved, makes debugging API calls much easier compared to doing the same with JavaScript. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stetho?

Can't make dynamic updates to the layout. Not stable, sort of kills the app or freezes the phone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
