   It's not an app. It's normally in the settings under   
   "storage" and then in the external storage down   
   the bottom.   
      
   On any Android phone I've looked at, and I've looked   
   at quite a lot.   
      
   You do need an Android phone that supports OTG   
   though. Some of my cheaper ones don't. I spent a lot   
   of effort trying to find the cheapest new Android phone   
   that supported OTG.   
      
   What model smartphones do you have?   
      
   Also - do you not have a friend or relative that can format   
   a FAT-32 USB stick for you?   
      
   And apart from that - whenever you buy a USB stick, they   
   come preformatted as FAT-32.   
      
   USB hard drives come preformatted as NTFS in my   
   experience, but not USB sticks or SD cards. And   
   there's another option - if you have an SD card from a   
   camera it is probably already formatted as FAT32,   
   your PC probably has a SD card reader slot, and your   
   PC is probably able to boot from SD card too.
