Response from developer

Hi, I’m sorry to hear you’re having a bad experience. Your review is a bit unclear, so I’m not sure what went wrong. The app does not remove or “steal” ROMs, and I’d like to help figure out what happened. Please contact support and let us know: * What device and iOS version you’re using. * What happened when you imported your ROM. * Any error messages or screenshots, if possible. We’ll do our best to investigate and help you get everything working correctly. Thank you.

Охринеть не встать !
