iBoysoft Data Recovery pour Mac

v6.1.5 is the current version, from 10/24/2005. It's a free download over at the Mac App Store, with in app purchases. It's now subscriptionware. 1 Month costs $90 (ouch!). 1 Year costs $100. The trial version includes: " • Free scan • Free preview recoverable files • Recover data from encrypted APFS, APFS, HFS+, FAT32, exFAT drive • Recover data from an unbootable Mac in macOS Recovery Mode

iBoysoft is the ONLY data recovery software that can recover APFS formatted drives with the same path and folders intact. The only issue is the high price. The other reviewer gave a low rating because he does not know how data recovery software works. The MacOS definitely needs to be reinstalled AFTER data is recovered, that is why the applications are called DATA recovery, not OS recovery. I highly recommend it if you need your data urgently. The high price is STILL cheaper than sending your Mac to professional data recovery centres to recover your data.

this is scam software, a rip-off of other apps, and not fit for purpose. if you do manage to get recovered files, many are unusable and will not open no support after purchase do not buy this!

I have a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2012. Last day, the machine couldn't be started. When I tried to reboot a few times and Mac still showed me the prohibitory symbol at startup. I tried to reboot in safe mode.. but it wasn't working. So, I decided to boot into verbose mode and the last message I got is: "ERROR! Could not find APFS system volume handle". I googled it to find out the problem and how to fix it. The first result was "[Solved] ERROR! Could not find APFS system volume handle" by iBoysoft data recovery. They suggested to Scan lost data by running a command on CMD terminal. The scanning process started and I was satisfied that the problem would be solved soon After a couple of hours of scanning. A window popped up showing the recovered data folders. And there was an option to "recover" the data. I clicked on it thinking, "finally, it's done". But then another window popped up asking for a $99.99 purchase or enter the purchased license number. I was not sure whether to go for it or not. I searched for it again on Google. Someone mentioned that after recovering the afps data, we have to reinstall the OS. Which needs disk partition, for that the disk need to be erased. I restarted the machine and tried to reinstall the software without data recovery by iBoysoft.. and it worked!! I don't know what's the point of recovering the data paying a hundred dollars when we have to erase the disk?

Absolutely useless after reformat. Found a lot of files, but all recovered files come out as damaged and are unreadable. Beware because there is no refunds at all even when contacted the support. Wasted $84.
