Did NOT expect this to work but it actually works beautifully! Was messing around with files I shouldn't have touched and essentially bricked my Surface GO 2 that was running kde neon. Had absolutely no way to make a new live USB because I lost SU privelages but I flashed an iso via this app and now I'm in the middle of doing a clean install. You're a lifesaver ❤️

WOW! After spending hours over several days trying to fix a dual boot issue I had and my only option to load an ISO to a usb stick was my Note 8... i was sure there was nothing available. Or if it was available it didn't work. TO MY SURPISE your app not only worked flawlessly to upload the ISO, but it really worked! my computer is fixed and I'm totally impressed! screw buying you a coffee, where do I deliver the keg??
