This application will test the device for root (superuser) access using a very simple, quick, and reliable method that has been successful for over 50 million Android devices. The su binary is the most common binary used on Android devices to grant and manage root (superuser) access. Root Checker will check and verify that the su binary is located in a common standard location on the device. In addition, Root Checker will verify whether the su binary is properly functioning in granting root (superuser) access.

Many times users experience issues along the path of installing, configuring, and gaining root access or uninstalling and removing root access. For some users the process can seem complex while for others the process can seem simple. Regardless of the user's technical skill set, Root Checker, will quickly and correctly verify whether or not root access is 100% functioning. The process of confirming root access is sometimes known by other terms such as, gaining superuser access or gaining administrator access. Root Checker covers all these terms as they relate to one core function, being able to execute commands through the su binary with root access.

If the Superuser management applications (SuperSU, Superuser, etc.) are installed and working properly, these applications will prompt the user to accept or deny the root access request from Root Checker. Accepting the request will allow Root Checker to check for and confirm root access. Denying the request will result in Root Checker reporting no root access.

For scenarios when there is concern somebody else might have installed root access on the device, Root Checker can validate whether root access is installed providing more insight and knowledge.

Ratings and reviews

It is a simple and reliable app that shows me whether my device has root access or not. It also tells me if I have the superuser app and the su binary installed on my device, which are essential for managing root permissions. The app is fast, easy, and free to use. It works on all the Android devices I have tried it on, even the newer ones. The app has a clear and user-friendly interface. I recommend it to anyone who wants to check their root access in seconds without any hassle.

Fake app (after reviewing it again I should have said full of intrusive ads ) Now I'm trying to picture how this works at an user level, so the development team behind the seens will understand this a bit better. The app itself works actually really great. Except ... in order to actually get to the app itself we have to go trough some 10 sec ads Full screen and several times before even seen the app. In an rooted phone this looks as suspicious as it gets. Maybe Pro or ads 1st screen?

It's good but I would like it much more if it gets an option to root the phone also. I find myself that people should be learning too and get to know more about software and mobile stuff too so that's why I gave 3 stars.
