App summary

Castro is a huge collection of information about your device and a set of tools for monitoring its status. This allows you to check the performance of your device in real-time!

Large collection of the information
Castro processes and displays a huge amount of information, namely:

• Detailed processor statistics (CPU and GPU);
• Battery monitoring;
• Consumption of all kinds of memory;
• Data usage via Wi-Fi and mobile networks;
• Real-time sensors data with useful graphs;
• Detailed information about device's cameras;
• Full list of available audio and video codecs;
• Monitoring temperatures of the device;
• And many other features, including DRM and Bluetooth!

The most important thing in the "Dashboard"
If you are not interested in too detailed information in a larger volume, you can always use the "Dashboard" window, which collects all the most important information - CPU usage, battery status, network usage, and memory load on the device.

More control with useful tools
• Share your device information using "Data export";
• Test your display state via "Screen tester";
• Check the noise around you with "Noise checker".

Even more features with the "Premium"

• Deep interface customization with various colors and themes;

User reviews
This app is absolutely perfect, but some issues are there. Firstly, the search function doesn't work at all. Secondly, on the "Thermal" page, if the device is in light throttling, it'll show "Light throttling" under "Status" and the "Description" below it. But at one point, the app shows "Temperature affects the operation of the device and significantly slows down the user interface" under "Status" and "Description" at the same time, instead of just showing "Significant throttling" for "Status".

Awesome app, been using this for a long time. Also for Skit, both app did a good job giving us information with a really good design. One thing I suggest is can you change the app icon? Skit has a very awesome icon. I suggest to cleaner and neat app icon or just make a toggle to change app icon. Thank you!
