My phones available storage was completely used up and my phone became glitchy with most apps becoming slow or not opening. Apps where also shaded black when searching for them. Some apps where also crashing. I turned off and on my phone and it became worse. Firstly, my lock screen was shown for a second until a black loading screen popped up. I then noticed the App Store, photos, camera, FaceTime, iTunes, news, and tips apps (could have been more I didn’t check all of them) where completely uninstalled after I had searched for them and looked in settings for them. I am scared that my info was stolen and I had to reset my phone to get it back to normal. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2021-12-15* IT DIDN’T RECOVER MY FILES! #cancelled ### 5/5 — Usefull for contact backup *2021-12-09, version 1.3.0* I use this app to back up my device contact (2470 contacts). It was work properly, free, fast. Thanks the developer ### 1/5 — Horrible *2019-09-07, version 1.3.0* If I could give it one star I would. So I am a YouTuber (2k Twins) and I made a mistake and deleted one of my videos off of my iCloud. So I looked up how to recover videos from your iCloud and then I found this app. I got so relieved until I tried to put my information in and it didn’t work until the fifth try. I finally got it to work and then when I pressed upload from iCloud, it just kept saying your action has fail would you like to try again. So I kept trying again. And it didn’t work so I came and looked at the reviews and it was mostly one star so I was like “wow” this app is fake and deceiving. Right now I’m scanning my computer to make sure that this app did not give me any viruses. Please do not download this app to your Microsoft software or to your iPhone. ### 1/5 — You need a desktop app to recover *2019-04-30* It asks you to download the desktop app which is not free before you can recover. ### 1/5 — Do NOT download! *2018-11-27* Immediately tells you there’s no data, then Wants access to your contacts, and asks to allow notifications. Again, DO NOT download ### 1/5 — Can’t get it to work *2018-11-07, version 1.3.0* The instruction are terrible. Also you can’t call for support, the only way to contact is texting. I don’t recommend this app unless the developers come here and help with instructions. ### 1/5 — Worthless *2017-12-01, version 1.3.0* Absolutely useless ### 1/5 — Useless *2017-06-11* Just a web portal to dr. Fone's page, useless ## Frequently asked questions about Recover ### What kind of data can this app recover?
