This App Isn't What It Seems to Be

Aug 2024. I'm a Mac user. I followed the directions exactly. After installing the app from the app store and paying the money for the FREE app (yuck) I let the web software override what was installed through the store. At this point I don't like where it's going but how can a lot of people doing the same thing go wrong (Doh! - forehead slap). Then I opened the app, clicked on the drive to check, and everytime the app closed, opened a webpage and didn't do anything at all. So after going against wisdom and doin all the choices I felt uncertain to do (hoping to restore my files), the app still doesn't work as promised. Hours lost. Money spent I had to cancel. Warning! This app is a waste of time. I'll try Disk Drill instead.

MIsleading and suspicious

It said at the top of their app page simple as 1-2-3, install, insert, start read-write.

f you do this, you can not write. You can already read without the app.

Here are the actual additional steps:

Step 4: launch the app: (Even though it said in the description "without launching the app, then you can start reading and writing.")

Step 5: subscribe for twenty dollars a year, with a three day trial. It does say this in the expanded description, if you first press "more."

Step 6: install additional software that bypasses the protections of the Apple App Store.

You can not write during the free trial unless you install the additional software. There may be more steps, I stopped at that point.

Bypassing the store seems pretty common for drive utilities, but I wouldn't. It is deceptive that they sell through the app store, but require you bypass the store to actually work.

Also this app should not appear under "free apps." A free trial is not the same as being free.
