Outstanding, phenomenal, super, remarkable, a life saver, more than meets its claims, wonderful, the best. 5 Stars! Really. This app saved me from having to buy af computer. My linux Sony laptop failed and I was stuck because I did not have an imager to get an iso bootable usb drive to fix it. My Raspberry Pi 4 also failed software wise. Weeks of worry. Then I found this Raspi Card Imager App. With just my Android phone and my OTG cable and card reader I burned the images I needed. Thank you

Seriously best app you could ever ask for! It does everything you could ask for, the fact that you have everything put in neat categories is awesome. I had downloaded the file before I downloaded this app, if I would have known that everything I needed was already in this app I would have saved time and energy not having to look for the right file. Just choose what you want and where you want it the app does the rest. I'm so glad I saw your comment miker! Thank you so much! I will donate as soon as I get digital money on my account brotha much appreciated!!! You have no idea!!!

Normally i do not to leave feedback or comments. I usually rate it by 1-5 stars, however considering how helpful this app has been to me im going to donate. " Best sd card imager on the market, does exactly as it describes if not better, quick responsive UI , and customer service is top notch." Thank you keep up the good work. If PI SD Card imager didnt exist i would never have gotten into learning code or been able to afford a computer. Im now looking to work in IT:) -tanner vine
