Advertising itself as “the most comprehensive data recovery solution on the market,” Wondershare’s Dr. Fone for iOS is a desktop software (with separate versions for Windows and Mac) designed to recover and backup deleted data, including photos, videos, contacts, notes, and more. Additionally, it can also back up your device, if you do not like using iTunes and/or iCloud. Further, this application is extremely versatile. It functions on all generations of iPad and most iPhones, going back to the 3GS. It also works on the 4th and 5th gen iPod Touch.
Wondershare’s Dr. Fone for iOS can recover data in one of the three ways: direct scan, iTunes backup, and iCloud backup. Direct scan, as its name suggests, involves connecting your device to a home computer via USB and scanning it for any recoverable files. The iTunes backup method requires you to have previously synced your device with your iTunes account; from there you can restore the most recent backup. These iTunes files may be encrypted, so choosing a program that can deal with encrypted files is vital if you want to restore data using this method. The final method is the iCloud backup, which is similar to iTunes in that you must have previously synced your device with your iCloud account. The above recovery methods can be used for iPhone 7/7Plus/6/6 Plus/5S/5C/5, iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPad 1, iPod Touch 4, iPad mini 1/2, iPad Air 1/2, iPad with Retina Display, the new iPad, iPad 2, iPod Touch 5 and iPad 1. The software can recover items deleted from the camera roll, photo stream, photo library, contacts, MMS and SMS messages and attachments, call history, calendar, notes, reminders, voice memos, WhatsApp history and Safari bookmarks. It automatically scans for all types of files; once done, it tells you how many of each it managed to recover. Dr. Fone also features a preview function, allowing you to peruse the deleted files before recovering them so that you know exactly what you are recovering. This reduces unnecessary storage and allows you to verify each item to ensure its value. This feature is particularly useful if you want to recover iPhone photos that were lost due to accidental deletion. Wondershare’s Dr.Fone – iOS Data Recovery is available at $69.95. The company also offers a fully functional free trial of this iPhone recovery tool, which ensures that customers are confident in their selection of Dr. Fone before purchasing the software. In addition to the free trial, the manufacturer also offers a 30-day money back guarantee (with some restrictions) to all who purchase the software.
