Open the app. You should see a short description of your device at the top of the screen.
You can find the app icon on your home screen or in your app drawer.
A popup may appear asking for permission to run the app. If this happens, your device is probably rooted — but you may as well continue to confirm this.

Press "Verify Root." Wait for a while, and you will see one of these messages:
"Congratulations, you have root access on your phone!" in green letters.
"Your device has no root permissions or you device is not properly rooted." in red letters.
