A few hours working with Raspberry Pi Imager on windows with two PCs nothing works on my SD card, finally I used this app with my Samsung Phone it works perfectly and I write the image to SD card. 👍

Install the files on a folder of SD card and move all the files on the card. It is working. Thanks for the app.

Found myself without a PC and needed to redo the card for my pi. This worked wonderfully well. It might not be intuitive if you haven't set up a pi before but worked for what I needed.

You sir, are a lifesaver! Take that guilt-free! The headless morons spitting nonsense about the app's functionality are clueless about the modern safety measures taken to prevent the user from flashing images onto sd cards in their slots. In the end, it's only possible to flash an os with a sd card attached to phone like an external USB. The app works flawlessly nonetheless except I have to constantly watch over it as my Samsung A03s doesn't register it running in background and turns off. TSM

Smooth experience, other people say that it's hard to partition the sd card, but that's normal for every time you partition something.

I couldn't get any image to successfully boot on a RPi4b or 3b+. I was able to get a bootable card created when I downloaded the same OS image to my phone and used a different app.

Didn't work correctly for me, flashing process would complete nearly instantaneously and say it was good, but pi wouldn't boot. Used actual Pi imager on PC, and it took much longer to flash, and actually worked.
