While the Android operating system is popular among users, it has also attracted a broad variety of miscreants and malware. New samples are discovered every day.

Precisely identifying the malware's behavior and finding information about its potential authors requires tools that assist human experts in a manual investigation. In this paper, we present CodeInspect, a novel reverse engineering tool for Android app that optimally supports investigators and analysts in that task.
