I mistakenly deleted a folder that has 8GB photos on my Toshiba hard drive, I thought I've backed up those photos to my Mac, but I didn't. All of the family photos on our trip to Paris were gone, you can imagine how desperate I were then. I searched in Google and decided to give Cisdem a try, though there were good and bad reviews about this app. Thank god, it recovered about 90% of the lost photos, in my opinion, the sooner you take actions, the more files you will get back. But there is a thing: it doesn't show all file names correctly, some are right, some are not, so you'd better use the icon view mode.

I emptied my trash bin last Thursday, but the next day I wanted to get several videos and photos back. I didn't have a backup. Installed PhotoRec, but it was difficult for me to run an app in shell. So I came to MacUpdate, downloaded and installed several data recovery tools to try. Finally I bought Cisdem Data Recovery with $59.95, because it found and recovered the files for me, also the price is nice, though it is a monthly license. I understand some users might fail to recover their files with this app in their cases. But in my case, I am happy with it, it is easy to use and indeed recovers a lot of file types. In addition, it loads the thumbnails of images very quickly. While for large videos, the loading takes a longer time.

All of their apps are garbage, and unusable. They are 3 or 4 MacOS versions behind. I think it's been since BigSur that we've had Dark Mode. It's a simple checkbox when they compile, but instead they are many years behind. The screens that come up are blinding bright, making their apps unusable. By default all they have to do is follow your system setting for Dark Mode. But it's even worse when they don't allow the user to at least change it. Again, if they followed the system preference, the user wouldn't have to do anything, and it would just work. It's kind of sad, there are very few companies out there that just don't get it, and this is one of them. It's clear that they have done this on all of their apps. They update everything else, but not the most important thing. Not blinding the users! Modern monitors are so much brighter these days, it's not 10 years ago. Some apps can be hacked, and manually forced to Dark Mode, but doing this rarely changes the backgrounds of the windows. It tends to just make the menu and window title bars dark. Update your compiler and check the box!!!

It does not happen frequently to lose the files, but I think it is necessary to have a program like this on my Mac in case I will need it in urgent some day. What's more, it is an affordable price with a lifetime license.
