The best Dota 2 mobile apps for Android and iOS
I tried multiple Dota 2 apps to find out the best ones for Android and iOS. They are divided in categories based on their purpose.
The apps have been tested on Android, but most of them also have an iOS version.
I think that the in-game Dota 2 item builds are more updated and simpler to use, nevertheless I have added one of the most popular hero build apps for those interested.
There were literally dozens of counter picking apps, and in the end I have included those that have a better interface and more features. Probably, all of them retrieve data from the same statistical sources.
All statistical apps I tried were subpar if compared to the amount of data provided by most websites, so I have discarded all of them but the upcoming OpenDota one.

It requires an installer on your computer to connect your Dota 2 client with the mobile app. It only functions with 64-bit Windows - no Linux or Mac.
The desktop client passively reads the game client’s memory, and the developers confirmed that you can’t get VAC banned for using it.
It supports screen resolutions with 4:3, 16:10, and 16:9 aspect ratio, so it doesn’t work with an ultrawide monitor.

Dota 2 statistics
OpenDota
Available for Android and iOS
Currently, the app is ad-free
OpenDota is one of the best Dota 2 statistical websites, and recently the developers released an app to take advantage of their software also on mobile.
The app is in beta and doesn’t have the same features of the website, but more will be added over time. It parses your games and presents detailed stats about your matches, heroes, and overall performance.
I talked about their app and on how to enter the beta in a previous news.
Update: the app has been officially released.
If you think I missed a good app in this list, let me know and I will check it out.
