Smartphones and tablets have become some of the most consumed electronic devices because they revolutionized many aspects of our lives. Android is one of the most popular mobile operating systems (OS) used by mobile users. These devices store vast amounts of valuable data ranging from per-sonal information (e.g., text messages and contacts) to company information for when companies apply bring your own device (BYOD) policy. Due to its popularity and stored information these devices have been targeted by cybercriminals which introduce a lot of issues to users such as stealing private information, make calls or send SMS messages to premium numbers etc.. In this paper we introduce a public web-service tool to analyze Android applications. It runs inspected applications on real Android devices and provide users with a real time analysis report. Moreover, other researchers can utilize our analysis results to learn more about malicious applications behavior to develop a robust technique to detect these type of applications.
