Does what it advertises! The ability to write CUSTOM images to a INTERNAL (read: no OTG adapter required) is amazing. The headless install flags for standard images are also appreciated. Note: if you are getting a write error, just try rebooting your phone while leaving the SD card inserted. Not sure why this helps but other SD writer apps suggest it as well, and it fixed the issue for me.

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!

One of the best softwares ever. Can write custom iso, download almost any system compatible with rpi zero / 2 / 3 / 4, have a cool option who allows to choose only compatible systems for your model of rpi, can enable ssh directly, can install systems headless (without any mouse or keyboard, it install itself once the image written on the sd card, the sd card in the rpi and the rpi powered!!!). Clear, easy to use, fast and reliable! THANKS! 10/5 stars!!!!!!
