Bug Reporting

WSATools is developed just by me, a student, currently finishing my degree. I'd be really thankful if you could report any bugs you hit so I can fix them. Put as many details as you can! If you do, you make it easier (and possibly faster) for me to solve them. If you wish to report a bug, open an issue here

Source code availability

I'm someone that enjoys having open source software on his computer, so I understand every single one of you asking for the source code. I've seen a lot of cases of apps stolen from Github and republished on the Microsoft Store without permission, so I'll avoid making it public for now. I'll reconsider this at some point of this software's life.

What's next for WSATools?

  • Stability and bugfixing.

Support me and the app development

If you like my work on WSATools, and you want to support me and the app development, I'd be really grateful. I'm a student, and I work on it on my free time. Feel free to make a donation on my paypal.me page or from inside the app, where I've put a little box at the end of the settings page.

Thanks!
