Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 66 reviews, most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. Many customers found the application effective and easy to use, especially for data recovery, with some successfully retrieving important files they thought were lost. People appreciate its user-friendly interface and the ability to recover a large number of photos and other data quickly. Several users highlighted its reliability and seamless operation, particularly for managing BitLocker-protected drives and connecting to various external storage devices. However, some people were dissatisfied with the application's instability, reporting frequent crashes and difficulties with installation or opening the app on their MacBooks. A significant number of users experienced issues with external drives reverting to read-only status or being unable to enable write access, leading to frustration and inability to transfer files. Additionally, some found the instructions for uninstalling unclear, the free trial non-functional, or the software not working as expected on newer macOS versions, with some reporting system freezes.

Waste of Time and Money

I spent my first 3 days trying to recover files (about 400GB). All showed corrupt. Contacted customer service they said keep trying and asked me to use another option.

I did.. I kept trying.
Now I asked for a refund and they said they wont give it.

The only thing thats left is to dispute a charge with my bank.

We sincerely apologize for the unpleasant experience when using iBoysoft Data Recovery.

Data recovery is a complicated case, not every data loss situation can recover lost data, it is why we provide a free trial version which can preview the documents, photos and play videos,audio after the scan completes so that you can see if your lost files are recoverable before purchasing.

About the refund, please check our 14-day refund policy statement in our official site.

I am reaching out to report an urgent…

I am reaching out to report an urgent issue I've encountered with the iBoysoft Data Recovery for Mac, for which I have recently purchased a lifetime license. Despite the successful purchase and installation, I am experiencing significant problems with the software's recovery functionality.

After running an extensive scan of approximately 65 hours on my drive, which is 1.65 TB in size, I've found that about half of the recovered files are inaccessible. While the files are visible post-recovery, I am unable to open any of them. This is deeply concerning as the files are crucial, and the software indicates a successful recovery process.

Additionally, during the overnight scan, an error message was prompted, and since then, I haven't been able to open any of the recovered files. Unfortunately, the error message closed before I could take note of the exact wording, and I am now at a loss for how to proceed.

Could you please provide me with guidance on the following concerns?

Why are the files showing as recovered but remain inaccessible?
Is there a way to resolve the error that occurred to prevent future recovery issues?
What steps can I take to successfully open the recovered files?

Bad software and outragous prices

Their software is utter garbage. I tried to get back some important data that I lost on a Bitlocker encrypted file. Their stupid software ran a whole day (At which point it wasn't even 50% finished) when it suddenly "encountered an unexpected error" and had to close. I am so glad I used the free trial version to scan. 200$ a year for such a low quality product is outragous. Do yourself a favour and no not pay these sharks. This software is hot garbage, and I do not believe for a second that big companies like Nokia use it. And if they do, they just lost a customer.

They show the cost of the software only after you installed it on your Mac. I removed soon after this very bad user experience! No idea if the software does what they claim it does...
