About AirPush Detector

This is a simple Android application which detects other installed applications which appear to use known notification ad frameworks and offers the user the ability to easily uninstall them.

If your device is running Android 4.1 "Jelly Bean" or higher, you don't need this app anymore! You can just press and hold on notifications and your device will tell you who is generating them.

Currently detected frameworks include:
- Airpush
- LeadBolt
- Appenda
- IAC
- Moolah Media
- SendDroid
- AppBucks
- Kuguo
- Applovin'

THIS APP DOES NOT *BLOCK* THESE ADS. It only tells you which applications are causing them. You must uninstall the applications this app identifies to stop the ads.

THERE IS NO OFFICIAL PAID OR "PRO" VERSION OF THIS APP. If you find an app with a similar name, description, and screenshots, odds are strong they have simply taken the source code and republished it as their own without any significant changes.

If you experience crashes, using Android's "Report" feature is likely to get it fixed. Leaving comments without any useful information is not :)

This app is open source - see the development page for full source code.

This app is great for the adware it knows. It seemed to have worked. I was getting popups on my HTC One v.2 from Google Play store. To the makers of this app, please be aware of such adware. Didn't want to use your option of sending private info to gain more insight on what the new adware was, but please try to make your app recognize any new adware. Though, I think your scan worked for me. We will see.

I was having problems with opt out pop ups. Spent lot of time in finding apps for solution then came across this airpush and bingo it solved the problem by indicating which apps are creating problems. And the best it's doesn't ask for permissions and less than 2 Mb space. Great job thanks

Awesome Application!! I try to stay away from anything that gives me any of those pesky airpush ads. However vigilant you are, a few still manage to get thru on occasion. This app helped me track them down immediately. I highly, highly recommend it!!

I almost never leave comments on anything in my life but I thought this was one of the things that was truly worthy of praise. This app is amazing. Told me the cause of the irritating ads in seconds and I just deleted it. Plus its free!

Worked so great on my other phones. Crashes every time on my GALAXY 6! PLEASE FIX ASAP! Also anyone reading this stay far away from the new galaxys! Total GARBAGE! Best phone ever HTC EVO M8! Can't wait til my M8 gets fixed :(

I was having a problem with ads popping up on my phone, scan took 2 seconds and the culprits were word and trivia cracks thanks!

I downloaded this app and it said I wasn't getting pop ups. This app only detects them from this ad provider. But it did tell me to hold my finger down on the banner add and then a pop up will appear saying app info. I did this and found the app causing the pop ups.

This app has been such a tremendous help with my last two phones. Now I have my new Samsung 4 and no longer need it. But it feels strange to delete it I have relied on it so long...

I had an app I deleted but I was still getting adverts from other sources via that app which was very annoying. I downloaded this app and when I opened it it said I didn't need this app at all, I just needed to tap and hold these adverts. So I did this and opened up the app that was still hidden away in my device and finally got rid of it permanently. It was so simple that I felt silly for not knowing this haa. ButThank You so much. Top app.

It said to press and hold the ad notification to see which app is dropping the ads! It worked, then all I did was uninstall. It also said my device was awesome and was honest enough to say I didn't need this app. Great tool! Thank you very much!

Today I started to get a lot of adds randomly on my home screen. I tried this and it first says I'm all good. But then I say it didn't work and it starts to scan again and crashes about half way through. It did this 3 times in a row now. Uninstalled

I kept having icons pop up on any empty space on my home screens and notification bar. It identified the app causing it, I deleted it. So far, no more problems. Works like it says it will :)

Works fairly well for me, but it can definitely use improvement. After playing with this App for an hour or so, I 've come to the conclusion that it doesn't work as well as I first thought. Same pop-ups appear over and over again with one particular App. It seems to be better in a browser on-line. Now if you would only hide your banner.

While having pop up ads and air push pop ups, this app could not find the source. Didn't work. Had to manually remove all my apps and reinstall one by one, essentially doing it myself. Don't bother. Running lollipop on my android lg g3

Searched everywhere online for a solution and discovered a comment about this app. Simple, easy, efficient. One click and it found the problem. This app is so amazing it got me to do my first rating and reviews ever. Thank you airush! You deserve a million more stars!!!

Downloaded it. Opened it. It said my device is awesome (not! having pop up issues). Pressed the notification as instructed. Nothing happened. Clicked "It didn't work". Started a scan. Crashed 3 seconds in. This happened 5 times in a row. Deleting. Garbage.

As a 5.1.1 android user I didn't know that I don't need this. Would still be easier if I could use it. ;( I have used it in the past and it took me 3.5 seconds to figure out which app was causing the problem, now I have to wait for each one to do its ad to figure it out. Plz fix this!!!

But it showed me that on my device if I long press the ad notification it will identify the offending app that is generating the notifications! This is a well thought out app that runs well and quickly and I cannot thank the dev enough!! :)

App says my phone is awesome, and doesnt need this. Then I hit scan and it keeps shutting down. "Unfortunately airpush detector has stopped" I obviously need something to stop these popup ads when I unlock my phone, open text, etc... Maybe just toss my phone in the trash.

AirPush Detector worked both easily and effectively as described. When you identify a applet that creates unwanted and unexpected ads, this program so easily identifies the program that you can send the program author a helpful message about why you uninstalled their app. Do not provide your IMEI number as the advertiser requests! In such cases you might be providing them with your telephone, data plan, unrestricted telephone account access, and your credit card. This free app seems to do the trick.

Got annoyed of the random pop up ads and looking to get rid of it. Searched around for a solution and found this. This app did its job and helped me find which apps are spam filled so I can remove them from my phone. Great app and highly recommend it.

This app is brilliant. Detected stupid ad ridden game immediately. Game gone, problem solved. Recently re-used as had a similar problem and AirPush Detector told me I no longer need to use it as I have 4.1 and how to find the culprit a simpler way! Thank you! :o)

Hard to believe that this little app that is so easy to use can do what it does, for free. Deserves 10 Stars. BTW, some people are saying they still get noticed that they have air push apps & giving one star. You have to manually delete but this app gives you a simple 1-click solution. BTW, on Samsung SIII or Note III, it says the device will perform the same task. Maybe, but I still prefer to use this app. Scan>Find>Uninstall>Done Great tool!

Any apps that is honest and tells you it doesn't need any permissions and THEN honestly tells you, HEY! YOU HAVE ANDROID 4.1+, YOU DON'T NEED ME! is instantly deserving of 5 Stars. Then to top all that off, it tells me how to fix it myself. I wish I could give you more stars. You give a man a fish, he eats for a day. You teach a man to fish, he eats for life. You, good sir, have taught a man to fish. THANK YOU!

Given that I have a habit of downloading a handful of apps at a time, it was always a headache when one started pushing ads onto my phone. I'd end up unchecking the 'receive notifications' box on my applications manager, thus also blocking useful update notifications. With AirPush, I can execute a surgical strike, uninstalling only the specific apps causing the ads. It's easy to use, since it does both a global scan of the phone, and identifies the source of particular ads.

Its been months now. Ive uninstalled apps and I still get pop up ads, google ads, and sometimes my phone goes to the internet by itself and displays ads there. Tried 4 antivirus and this all.. still cant find the malware
