User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend	Android Studio is the only platform you should consider for Android development. I have found that nothing else comes close in terms of documentation or support. There is always the temptation to develop for Android using a cross platform toolkit, such as Xamarin, but unless your app is incredibly simple, you will find your self wrestling with the toolkit more than actually creating your product. If you have any Android projects still in Eclipse, you should upgrade these to Android Studio - the backwards compatibility for older versions of Android is very good, with issues only occurring with debugging on older (Lollipop or below) devices. The only scenario Android Studio is not suitable for is cross-platform development. There is no way to share code between iOS, macOS, or Windows projects with Android Studio, unless you are developing a game in C++. If you wish to develop cross platform mobile apps, I suggest Microsoft Visual Studio. Incentivized PC Peter Chapman Senior System Architect Read full review	No answers on this topic
Pros	It is very lightweight and resource management is done pretty well in this IDE. It boots up very fast as compared to other development IDEs. It is not a memory hungry IDE. Even novices can work with this IDE very easily. Incentivized KV Kunal Verma Software Engineer Intern Read full review	No answers on this topic
Cons	Debugging is not that great, it can show some specific details for a better understanding of the issue. It is a RAM eater tool, its hard to do multitask along with the android studio. Sometimes after updating the android studio, we have to face so many random issues with the SDK or codes. Incentivized LS Lokesh Singh Jr. App Developer Read full review	No answers on this topic
Usability	It has improved over the versions, and it continues to do so. I have no problems using Android Studio and I think that it's quite a user-friendly software. Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Support Rating	The support of the community is very good. You can find many solutions on sites like StackOverflow and Brazilian sites like GUJ, for example. Google documentation about Android Studio is very good too. I have some Android developer friends, so they have the knowledge to support me when I need it.

Alternatives Considered	I am primarily a Java developer so many of the IDEs I have used are specifically made for Java development. I have used IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse, and NetBeans for Java development but Android Studio is far better for Android development specifically and it also has support for things like Flutter development. VS Code is quickly becoming popular across languages but Android Studio is still at the top in my opinion. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
