User Reviews

Users praise Codec Info as a useful tool for identifying hardware-accelerated codec support and for gauging device playback capabilities. It clearly marks hardware vs. software decoding and has a clean, ad‑free interface. Some reviews, however, raise credibility concerns by calling it a fake app, and a few report stability/UI bugs on certain devices. Overall, it’s a practical, no‑nonsense codec info resource when it runs on a compatible device and OS.

Pros

Indispensable for identifying which codecs support hardware acceleration (encoder/decoder profiles).
Helps assess device playback capabilities for high‑resolution content (e.g., 8K/5K) and hardware requirements.
Clear, ad‑free UI that shows built‑in codecs and whether they run in hardware or software.
Does what it promises without fluff; concise, to‑the‑point information.
No ads or in‑app purchases reported by users.

Cons

Credibility concerns: a couple of reviews label the app as fake or question its authenticity.
UI/stability issues reported on some devices (Android 6 crash when opening settings; UI/search glitches).
