Ratings and reviews

I love this app! The only thing I found that was a bit annoying was when I would try to install a custom OS, it won't write to the SD card. (The SD card is inserted into my phone not plugged into the bottom) But when using the built-in OSs it work wonderful! If you could get the custom OS working, I would rate 5 stars!

Doesn't seem to work? It seems to stem from the fact I cant write the image on the card itself, because Android doesn't allow me, but rather only from a folder in the sd card.

No longer working. Android complains about "protecting your privacy" and doesn't let me give root SD card access, so this program is no longer able to flash the SD card.
