About HEX Editor
HEX Editor from First Row is a focused productivity utility that lets you work with files at the byte level directly on your Android device. Its latest release, version 2.8.5, arrived on 2022-08-03 and keeps the package lean enough to install without a second thought.
A tool for byte-level inspection As a productivity app, HEX Editor is built around one clear purpose: opening a file and reading or adjusting its raw hexadecimal content instead of its rendered form. That makes it useful whenever you need to look at what a file actually contains rather than how a viewer chooses to present it, whether for troubleshooting, verification, or general curiosity about a file's structure.
Device compatibility requirements The build requires Android 4.3 or newer. Devices running that baseline or any later release should be able to install and run the package, while newer devices will have no trouble accommodating it. The app has been published under the identifier com.myprog.hexedit, which is the exact name to look for if you are confirming what is installed.
Storage footprint At 3.5 MB, the download is small by modern standards, so it will not put pressure on limited internal storage and can sit alongside your other tools without competing for space. That compact size also means installation is quick, even on a slower connection or an older handset.
Listing details worth knowing The current build is version 2.8.5, published on 2022-08-03, and it sits in the productivity category. The content rating for this listing is recorded as unknown, so anyone managing devices for a household or a team should note that no age guidance has been provided alongside the package.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Android version does HEX Editor need?
The build requires Android 4.3 or newer, so devices at that baseline or above can run it. If your device is on the required version or a later release, you are within the stated compatibility range. Devices running newer releases are not singled out separately in the listing, but they fall outside the minimum and are therefore covered as newer devices.
What is the exact package name of the app?
The package is registered as com.myprog.hexedit. This identifier is what the system uses to recognise the app once it is present on a device, and it is the reliable way to confirm you are dealing with this specific HEX Editor from First Row rather than a similarly named tool. Check it in your device's application details if you need to verify the installation.
How much storage space should I set aside?
The file is 3.5 MB, so plan for that amount plus whatever small margin your device applies during installation. That is a light footprint, meaning it fits comfortably on devices with constrained internal memory and should not require you to remove anything beforehand. Exact free space visible after installation can vary slightly depending on the device and how it reports storage.
Which version is listed as current and when was it released?
The latest version shown for this listing is 2.8.5, released on 2022-08-03. That is the build the listing points to, so if you are checking what you have installed against the published details, compare it with those figures. The release date belongs specifically to this version and should be read as the point at which this particular build was published.
What category is the app in and what is its content rating?
HEX Editor is filed under the productivity category, which reflects its role as a working utility rather than an entertainment title. The content rating is recorded as unknown, meaning no age classification has been supplied with this listing. If content ratings matter for how you manage devices, note that no guidance is available here and plan accordingly.
