## Description

Root Checker Pro is a straightforward Chrome extension designed for quick and reliable verification of root access and BusyBox installation on Android devices. This tool does not require root access itself, nor does it root the device. It inspects critical details such as su binary locations, file permissions, SELinux status, superuser app versions, and adb shell modes to confirm proper root setup.

Ideal for both beginners and advanced users, Root Checker Pro provides comprehensive information for troubleshooting root and BusyBox issues. Users can export detailed reports via email or social media, facilitating easy collaboration. Additionally, a convenient widget offers ongoing monitoring of root and BusyBox status with customizable check intervals, keeping users informed at all times.

## Review summary

Overall, users praise Root Checker Pro for reliably checking root status and offering useful device details, and find it easy to install. However, several reviews highlight issues with refunds and value for money, and note the app is often outdated and not fully compatible with newer Android versions. Accuracy concerns are also common, including conflicting root results and false BusyBox detections, compounded by confusion around Magisk/superuser usage. These factors contribute to a mixed reception despite strong core functionality.

### Pros

- Reliably checks root status and works as advertised
- Provides useful device/root detail information (manifest)
- Easy to install and use
- Generally positive and dependable across many devices

### Cons

- Refunds and perceived poor value for money (money-back issues)
- Outdated software with compatibility problems on newer Android versions (Android 11)
- Inaccurate or conflicting root-detection results (BusyBox reports, contradictions with other apps)
- Confusing Magisk/superuser setup and tools making usage harder
