| 2024-10-31 |  | | 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". |
| 2022-07-20 |  | | 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! |
| 2022-03-13 |  | | After installing skit and finding it useful i have installed this but it appears to give contradicting infomation to skit cornerning internal memory. And after installations n of this one app. Skit insists that there are 2 more user app counted not 1. Not sure if it a device issue or the apps themselves |
| 2021-03-10 |  | | I really like this app.I orignally downloaded this app to check on battery health cause my phone overheated a lot, so thermal checks were necessary. But after the latest update of app, the thermal throttling tab seems to be broken, my phone visibly throttles and heats up, but the app shows 'Not under throttling'. Otherwise, it's a great app |
| 2021-03-05 |  | | Excellent app for system information, sensors, diagnostics and troubleshooting. It tells you about all the hardware on your phone with full and detailed specs. The UI is very nice, simple yet elegant. Just one tiny issue. The name of the app tells you nothing. If you forget the name, you'll have to look through your entire list. I think it should be renamed Castro HW Info or at least Castro HW. Other than that, brilliant app! |
| 2021-01-16 |  | | Just great, saves me Googling to find out "Does my phone have x?" So much info about my phone that I didn't know is available. Clearly laid out, pleasant on the eyes. Useful monitoring as well, like battery temp. And it's free(mium), with no ads. Can't see a reason not to recommend to anyone. |
| 2021-01-04 |  | | Probably the best app to keep an eye on your phone's temps and gather more knowledge about your phone the simple, minimal and straight forward design really makes this app a pleasure to use. In my opinion this app doesn't need any improvement its already perfect |
| 2020-08-02 |  | | Shows all the information I want about my phone, and more. The paid features, I don't need them and could get that functionality from other apps that are actually focused on them, so I'm good with the free version. |
| 2020-07-22 |  | | Castro is the best app to see your device specs and taking low space, the interface is amazing and intuitive with customization. Personally i would want to see this platform for PC or a website, to know your pc specs. Castro premium is cheap for what they add to the app, to see gpu performance etc. |
| 2020-07-07 |  | | Useful info but I'm unable to find the options mentioned in the 3rd play store image. Especially disappointing to find the advertised "broken pixel options"missing. Although Castro is interesting & provides tons of technical info on my Note 8, my storage space is limited, Castro (9.65MB total) can't be moved to an external SD, & now the update requires 529MB, so I am uninstalling for now. I would recommend at least trying it to see if it's for you; it does do most of what it claims to. |
