Summary
My memory is full again and it’s just too much of a hassle to go to Settings in order to manage each individual app. Thankfully, there are apps such as DiskUsage that are meant to make life easier for you. Find out if this app let’s you manage your internal memory and SD card more effectively in today’s test report.
Features & Use
Section rating:
DiskUsage’s purpose is really simple: to give you an overview of the contents on your internal memory and SD card. It must be said that this app does this with distinction. Right off the bat, you can tell that the developer has put a lot of time and effort into making this app as clear and functional as possible. When you open the app, a pop-up window appears asking you to select either your built-in memory or your SD card. Your internal storage, for example, is displayed in block form with each block representing a particular section of your memory. On your left you can see your total disk usage and then all the individual directories to the right. Each category gets divided into smaller subcategories the further right you go. You can zoom into a more detailed view of each directory by double-clicking. Just click a larger category to zoom out. Since the blocks are arranged according to size, it gives a clear picture of which apps are using up the most space.
If you click on a folder and then select Show via the menu button, you are automatically redirected into the File Manager where you can see all of the folder’s contents. You’ll need the free OI File Manager, which you can download from the market. Individual files or entire folders can be deleted by selecting Delete with the Menu button.
Bottom Line:
The app promises to offer you a clear overview of your memory and this is exactly what it does. Everything is presented on one screen and it’s super easy to navigate. The integrated File Manager makes this app into one of the most practical to have on your Android phone. Highly recommended!
Screen & Controls
Section rating:
DiskUsage is really clear and functional in its layout and fulfils its purpose 100%. I would be surprised if anyone encountered any problems with this app because it just doesn’t get any simpler. As soon as you open the app, you know exactly how it works.
Speed & Stability

DiskUsage runs smoothly and doesn’t crash.

DiskUsage can be downloaded for free from the Android Market.

awesome but a can be made super doper /feature req its awesome appp for its purpose,, but it can be extended to include more best fdeatures.,, those who have a lot of builtin memory sa 16gb etc they only use this app for info/statistics.. but those who have limited storage like 200mb etc use it to check for big files and take action accordingly,, so to avoid this low internal storage most ppl install link2sd or an app of the like which creates a symbolic link. but that app only links softwares and after thoroughly using it i saw that even after linking all the three components of any app that app stll occupies few MB of internal storage,, i use the root explorer to manually link those few folders to free some space.. but i use the app to find those files,, and manually use root explorer to link those files,,, the feature that i want MOST in this app is for it to have some linkage with link2sd where a user selects a file/folder to be linked and this app tells link2sd to link that to sd,, hope this feature will double its usage for those who really need it..

Not great Not a good top level view as it reports the same folders and sub folders

Clean up lots of space fast This is excellent. It's so much easier to decide to delete stuff you don't really need anymore when you can see just how much space it's actually taking up. The only thing I can think to add is multiple-select.

Perfect! I needed something like windirstat for my Galaxy Nexus and this ended up being even better! The way it organizes data is incredible, and having a native ICS theme doesn't hurt either!

Terrific visuals Easy to use and looks great. Finds all the files and shows sizes.

Stop requesting through comments!! Seriously how stupid are you people? The developers don't read comments. If you want to request features scroll down like 1 inch and send them an email!

i think the app looks pretty ugly. functional doesn't have to mean badly designed.
