Description
Been using Compose Material Catalog for a couple months now. It’s basically a reference app for Material Design components and theming in Jetpack Compose. Pretty solid if you’re into Android development and want to see how to implement Material Design stuff.
Here’s what you do: you can browse through all the different components like buttons, cards, menus, etc. There’s also a theme picker where you can customize the colors and dark mode. And the example screen has sample code snippets – took me a while to figure that out but it’s useful.
Look, if you’re an Android dev, you’ll probably find this app really helpful. It’s not perfect – the UI can be a bit clunky at times – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out if you need a Material Design reference.
Editor Opinion
So here's my honest take on Compose Material Catalog. I've tested a bunch of Android dev tool apps and this one's pretty solid. The breadth of components covered is impressive, and I like how you can easily customize the theme. The example code is also super handy. But it does have a few issues - the UI is a bit cluttered and it can be slow to navigate at times. Overall though, if you're an Android developer who works with Jetpack Compose, I'd say this is a really useful reference app to have.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Tons of Material Design components covered
- Theme picker is easy to use and customize
- Example code snippets are super helpful for learning
- Free to download and use
Cons
- UI can feel a bit cluttered at times
- Navigation between screens is sometimes slow
- Might be overkill if you just need basic Material Design info

Great resource app for compose developers. Thank you
