My Opinion on Primo iPhone Data Recovery
Based on my test result, Primo iPhone Data Recovery is safe and can help recover many deleted types of files from iOS device directly, like iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. The interface of Primo iPhone Data Recovery is easy to use. And it also provides detailed user instructions.
Based on my testing result, Primo iPhone Data Recovery provided three recovery modes to enhance the recovery rate. When i use these recovery modes, i do not encounter any technical issues (like freeze, crash, etc.). But when I download Backup from iCloud, the speed is a bit slow. It takes more than 10 minutes.
When I recover deleted data from iOS device and iTunes backup, Primo iPhone Data Recovery scans out many files, Contacts, Messages, Photos, etc. But i am still disappointed about its recovery rate because Primo iPhone Data Recovery fails to recover any voice memo and social app data on my iPhone, whatever WhatsApps, Line and corresponding attachments. But it seems that complex nature of data recovery means that it’s not 100% guaranteed that I were be able to retrieve all of lost files using Primo iPhone Data Recovery.
Given my testing result, i think Primo iPhone Data Recovery is good data recovery software, and the price is reasonable which is cheaper than many similar products. If you just delete your important data, you can give the trial version of Primo iPhone Data Recovery a try.
Meanwhile, given the importance of your data, i highly recommend you to backup your data periodically to avoid any data loss.
If you want to compare Primo iPhone Data Recovery with other products, I recommend you to give alternatives as below a try.
