This loaded app comes with five main tabs: Dashboard, System, Tasks, Apps, and Logs.

Dashboard:

• Lookup handy info like how much battery, internal memory, SD card space, and RAM you have free.
• View uptime (time since the phone was last shutoff), current network type (e.g. WiFi) and IP address.

System:

• A comprehensive list of all the information you need about your Android device (e.g. OS, build info, memory, CPU, screen, sensors, java properties, etc.)

Tasks:

• A sortable list of opened apps including their memory and CPU usage.
• CPU load displayed.
• Quickly switch to or end a specific task/app.
• Great functionality, just like what you’d find in Advanced Task Manager (and it looks like plenty of Android users enjoy the task killing capability).

Apps:

• List of all installed applications.
• Launch, manage, uninstall, or view the specific app in the Android Market.

Logs:

• A log of exactly what your Android phone is doing, like what you would find in the Dalvik Debug Monitor (DDMS) used by developers.
• Use the menu to update, save, or categorize the current log.

Pros:

• All the information you could want accessible from one place
• Clean, user-friendly interface and organization
• App and task manager features built-in

Areas for improvement:

• Allow apps to be sorted by size in the Apps tab (makes uninstalling large-sized apps easier)
• Could use a prettier icon, but that’s not a deal breaker!

Conclusion: Easily a must-have app. Information/knowledge = power!
