Kingo-Root allows you to root your Android device with a single tap. However, it won’t support every device under the sun, especially ones with MediaTek processors from my personal experience. Add to that all newer Android devices running Android 6 and above, which includes an increasingly larger percentage of phones on the market.

When it does work, however, it’s a pleasant experience. It saves you so much time you’d otherwise spend looking up guides and tutorials scattered around the internet. It doesn’t come with any outright viruses or malware, but it does install some bloatware. Luckily, now that you have root access, you can easily uninstall the newly added bloat along with that which came with your phone.

Potentially dangerous permissions

  • GET_ACCOUNTS: Allows access to the list of accounts in the Accounts Service.
