USB TOOLS

USB maintenance from your phone

USB TOOLS brings drive management, recovery and testing to Android. It suits people who regularly work with USB drives, need to check a suspect device, or want tools for managing PS2 or PS3 game files without reaching for a computer. MixApplications lists it in Tools; the app has more than 1,000,000 installs.

Manage and check drives

The app can format and partition drives, create backups, restore drive images and wipe data. Supported formatting options include FAT, exFAT, NTFS and EXT file systems. Diagnostic tools check for bad blocks, test read and write speeds, report device details and look for signs of counterfeit capacity. These are practical jobs that can make a specialist utility worth keeping, rather than a general-purpose app opened once and forgotten.

Recovery and game utilities

USB TOOLS can scan supported file systems for deleted files and search for lost partitions. It also includes utilities for organizing and converting PS2 and PS3 game files. Most features work without root, though accessing an internal SD card slot requires root. The range is broad, so the app makes most sense if you will use more than one part of it; occasional formatting or recovery alone may not justify giving it space.

Worth a place?

With a 4.64 rating from 24,468 reviews, USB TOOLS has a substantial track record among users. Some actions, including formatting and partition management, use tokens; the supplied details say tokens can be earned by watching an ad or bought in packs. If USB storage is part of your regular routine, keeping its maintenance and diagnostic tools together can save time when a drive needs attention.
