   > UserLAnd was created and is being actively maintained by the folks behind the popular Android application, GNURoot Debian. It is meant as a replacement for the original GNURoot Debian app.(1)
   
   Aha!
   
   > Sadly, GNURoot is no longer maintained and no longer works properly after Android releases.(2)
