iMyFone

Software did what it said, got back some old tax files. Only thing was I asked for a refund because it didn't find one folder, and it took about a week to come through. Not a disaster but I'd have liked it quicker.

This was my first time using a recovery program, and compared to asking the shop to look at my laptop it was a lot cheaper and I could do it at home. The guide on the site was easy to follow even for me. Got my holiday photos back, so yeah, happy.

Honestly this did exactly what I needed, which was getting back a folder of work files I'd deleted by accident. Ordering took five minutes on my phone, the payment went through first time and the key came straight through. Ran the scan on my laptop while I made tea and it found everything. Would buy again.

I bought the data recovery option after comparing a few of these. What convinced me was the preview feature, it let me check the photos before paying for the full recovery. Everything I needed came back from my old phone. Good price for what it does.

Took about forty minutes to scan my old phone and it found the photos I thought were gone for good. The first preview kept freezing on me though so I restarted it twice. Got the files back in the end, just wish the scan had been quicker when I was on the bus trying to sort it out.

I needed it after my old computer died and I couldn't get to a folder of photos of my late wife. The software got most of them back. Support answered my question about the install within a day and was patient with me.

Compared to paying a computer repair shop to try and get my files back, this was a fraction of the price and I did it myself at my kitchen table. I checked a few options first and this one had the best reviews for recovering from a formatted drive. The scan was slow but it got there. Hard to fault really.

I needed it because I lost my final uni essay when my laptop crashed the night before the deadline, which was a nightmare. Downloaded it quickly and it found the file, so I'm really pleased. Tbh I'd have paid more for it at that point. Would definitely use again if I had to.

Got the lifetime one after my laptop started making a clicking noise and I panicked. It sorted out a load of stuff from the hard drive. Setup was a bit clunky, had to restart twice, but it got there. Not bad for the price.

Works, and that's the main thing. I've used this kind of software for years on client machines and it recovered a corrupted partition that two other tools gave up on. The deep scan option is worth the extra time. Licence activation worked on my machine and the support site has clear steps for the offline install. Good value if you do this for a living.

I bought the deep scan option for an external hard drive that had gone funny. It found a lot of old project files I'd given up on. Works well with the Windows setup I've got. Knows its stuff.

Ok so it recovered my deleted videos which was the whole point. The app kept asking me to update the software before I could use it, which was annoying. Once that was sorted it was fine.

Ok so the recovery worked, got my deleted uni notes back from a memory stick. Signing up took ages because the verification email went to spam and i had to ask for another one. Then the price felt a bit high for a one off job, would have liked a cheaper option for something small like that.

Wiped my camera card on holiday and the photo recovery got almost everything back, which was a relief. The whole thing took about twenty minutes from start to finish, I did it on the sofa at the hotel. Only thing was I'd have liked to see the preview grid a bit bigger on my phone.

I needed it because I'd accidentally formatted the card with our wedding photos on it, and I was close to tears. Ordering was quick and the code came through straight away. The software found most of the shots and the ones it couldn't were already backed up somewhere else. Honestly a relief.

I've been using this for years now, first with an old laptop and now the new one. Last month I formatted a USB stick by mistake and the deep scan brought back all my recipe notes and scanned letters. Support answered my question within a day when I got stuck on the settings screen. Happy to keep paying for it.

I needed this because my daughter's phone got wet and the messages and photos from her school trip had vanished. Bought it on the site during my lunch break, got the code by email and had it running that evening. It pulled most of the photos back. Not all of them, but enough that she stopped crying, so I'm chuffed with that.

Got the photo recovery version after I accidentally wiped my camera card on holiday. The scan picked up almost all the shots from the day. Installing it on my Mac was straightforward and the instructions were clear enough.

Compared to the free recovery tool I tried first, this one actually found my deleted stuff, so that's a win. Bit pricier though, and the checkout wanted me to tick about three boxes for marketing emails. Easy to untick but annoying. The recovered files were fine.

Compared to the other recovery program I tried, this one found more files in less time, and the preview before recovering is handy. Buying was simple and the key worked first time. The other one wanted a subscription, so this is better in my view.
