Ratings and reviews

I wish it was more clear that yeah, no PC computer needed but you -DO- need another device. Which these days, devices ARE computers. If you can connect to your phone's own Hotspot, well doing that eluded me, guess I'm dumb or perhaps the app could use better instructions.

Many thanks for this neatly useful software tool. I wish you to continue worn on this project forever. Wish you a long live.

certainly worth the price. you saved me some so much frustration in beta builds of Android 17
