Crashing

Hi app is crashing on latest ipados 14.2. It was working fine until I updated my ipad pro 2nd gen

Very good

The shredding process is very fast compared to others

Exactly what I was looking for

I did not have a problem with speed. Having wiped many drives in the past, I knew what to expect. I have about 110GB free right now and I took a little over an hour to do a four pass “Mireth” wipe

Do not buy!

Ran the app twice. Phone never heated up. I was suspicious and tried to recover "wiped" data. Everything I had deleted I recovered in 5 minutes. Complete waste of money and time!

Not very user-friendly

So far I have yet to spend the required time to wipe an entire 128 GB iPhone. It seems the standard wipe takes over seven days to complete. Even if the app is running in the background you would think that the wipe we continue, but au contraire it eventually will stop at self before the wipe is complete. What a waste of money.
