Its ads are very annoying
★★★★ Emmanuel Mulinga 3/11/2026 v4.3.0
The worst app of it's kind. can't cancel once it starts scanning (which takes eternity!). And it scans till a baby becomes bald only to be presented with useless boxes, no thumbnail, no nothing to give you a clue of what the file is.... it's just prettyyyy baaaaaaaaaddddd
★★★★ Kaden Ward 1/22/2026 v3.9.5
Non stop ads, only found photos that weren't even deleted
★★★★ Jennifer Kilgore 1/22/2026 v3.9.5
this app is not truthful! It just gives you ad after ad after ad with nothing gained. every thing that you try to recover it tells you it was successful then shows you another ad. but it never says that it recovers your files but it does not I repeat it does not work! do not fall for it!
★★★★ Christian Forisek 1/15/2026 v3.9.5
no matter what you do, every step of the way you are forced to watch an ad. im trying to restore some files, not wanting to spend over an hour watching ads for something that claims to be a one click process.

Save your sanity and don't download. One of the worst apps I have ever gotten literally click bait. It doesn't actually recover any of my files just shows me some that I already have. Overwhelming amounts of ads aswell.
★★★★ Joesph LowəryKB (Joə) 1/7/2026 v3.9.1
ya 0 stars from me! all u ppl who praise this app are either fake n lying or real n haven't experienced this app really because dude, what tf is up with all these ads? I can't even use the app properly because of them! trash. uninstalling n never going to download from this developer again. you have annoyed me to the point of no return. I will not speak well of this app full of bs adds literally after every action in the app. na I'm good. 0 stars
★★★★ Andrew Waddilove 12/28/2025
Ads kept getting in the way of my search! I wasn't able to even start my restoration search because the continue button was underneath an ad that wouldn't go away even when I clicked on it.. and what's worse, it was an ad for something I already had! very aggravating and annoying! if you have to put ads on your app to survive, at least put the ads in a spot that doesn't interfere with the app's functions!
★★★★ Ernesto 12/9/2025
Useless ad delivery scam. And really bad ads at that.
★★★★ Sushil 10/21/2025 v3.6.3
Time loss
★★★★ Melvin Mass-Rosario 10/11/2025
I don't really understand how tu use this app
★★★★ MrWarriorProphet 10/9/2025
This doesn't work as advertised. It brings up files that aren't even deleted, and has intrusive ads that waste users time
★★★★ A Google user 9/15/2025 v3.3.2
this app clearly has a lot of fake reviews because it doesn't recover anything at all, it just shows you the files you already have saved, and it spams you with temu apps every time you press anything, what's the point in even making an app like this ? as soon as anyone installs it they'll see it's fraudulent and will delete it straight away, waste of time!
★★★★ jamie jones 9/15/2025 v3.3.2
BEWARE if you want to watch 3 ads per click and be bombarded with notifications like your phones a call centre this app is for you, if not dont bother. file it under B1N
