## What is Adobe Scout?

The Adobe® Scout mobile app is for developers using Scout, the new profiler and analysis tool from Adobe. Install Scout on your desktop, then run this app to profile your iOS apps.
 
Features:
• Instantly determine how your app is performing with zero code changes.
• Code sampler shows you where your app spends its time.

### 1/5 — 额

*2022-01-28*

是什么东西呀，卡的要死

### 1/5 — Not happy

*2018-07-01*

This App had a lot more potential, but for some reason it seems the creator just fizzled out half way through. Unfortunately Adobe is responsible for several large scale data breaches.  I’m offended that most of Adobes products are overpriced and no relief from discounts to large customer blocks.

### 2/5 — S'en remettre?

*2016-04-09, version 1.0.3*

Il est mieux de se détraque. Et se souvenir. Cela va permettre d'accélérer les sortes de rushiing.

### 1/5 — Dear Adobe...

*2015-09-28*

It is long overdue, but it is time we stop this charade of a relationship. So many times, you promise, thrill and tempt us only to remind us that over-promising and under-delivering is just the way you play the game. So long Adobe, we won't miss you...

### 5/5 — Все супер!

*2013-08-29*

### 5/5 — Great!

*2013-02-02*

Thanks for this app! I had successful used it for improving my Adobe Air app and thanking for this one I was fixed all memory usage issues. This is 'must have' app for any Adobe Air iOS developer.

### 5/5 — Works perfectly

*2012-12-04*

I had to type my ip to connect, but it's great.

### 5/5 — A must have

*2012-12-03, version 1.0.1*
