Recover Data Directly from iOS Devices

There may be many other Data Recovery Software. But, The PhoneRescue is different. Because It is designed in that way that it can recover data directly from iOS. So, If you have an iPhone and have lost some of your favorite photos and videos or even music, don’t lose hope. This data recovery software can recover them very easily.

Preview, Selected Restore and Fast Speed

PhoneRescue gives users the freedom to choose any file and preview them and at last restore if the user wants. This is actually a very good thing. Another fact you will notice that this software recovers files within a very short time. The data recovery speed very pleasing.

Restore App Data

It is one of the amazing things for any iPhone user. PhoneRescue can scan and restore lost app data. It means if you have lost one of the Apps’ data that matters for you, it can be recovered. Especially, If you want to get back your deleted WhatsApp, Line messages, this software may show you some luck.

However, The app data restore works for only Whatsapp, Line and some other apps.

Recover Wide Range of File Types

PhoneRescue can recover many types of data. It includes Photos, Videos, Music, Thumbnails, Contacts, Messages, Call History, Safari History, Bookmarks, Notes, etc. In fact, You can recover any type of data your iPhone supports.

Repair iOS Problems

iPhone users may encounter random problems anytime. There are some common issues that appear more. Users are also familiar with these types of errors like the iPhone stuck at apple logo during startup, app crashes, etc. PhoneRescue can fix many of these problems.

Recover Lock Screen Passcode

This feature can be pretty handy for any iPhone or iPad users. I see so many stories about forgotten Passcode. Some users also get the phone disabled due to too many attempts. In this type of situation, Don’t give up. If you have PhoneRescue, you can bring your disabled iOS devices to life. However, It will erase the phone during the PassCode recovery process.

PhoneRescue Review: User Interface

If we look at the User Interface (UI), it looks pretty well. It looks very modern and user friendly. Every option is very easily accessible. So, No one should face a problem while using it. In a white window all modern icons, fonts, and options look great. However, I would be happier if it had a dark mode like AnyTrans (Another software from iMobie).

PhoneRescue Performance and In-Depth Review:

It has some amazing features indeed. But, Question is how it performs when the users start using it. In this part of this PhoneRescue review, you will get the answer of this real question! So, Let’s know about the performance.

Personally, I have used this iPhone recovery software to have the actual idea about performance and user experience. If you want to know the experience in one word, I will say it’s amazing. However, It is better to know about some tricky things If you want to use PhoneRescue.

After opening the software for the first time, you may need to install iTunes. Because, Without iTunes installed on your PC or Mac, It won’t work. Again, Don’t keep the iTunes open when you use the PhoneRescue. Because It can cause a problem.

In the home window, you will see two sections. One is for Data Recovery and another one is for Device Rescue. Each section has its own purpose that you can know by their names.

PhoneRescue Data Recovery Performance and Details

Let’s talk about Data Recovery. If you want to recover some long lost or deleted data from your iOS devices, you can connect it with PC/Mac by the appropriate cable. Then, Start scanning it. The scan speed depends on the device and cable. However, Generally, PhoneRescue will take a while to complete the scan. Before scanning, you will have options to choose which types of data you are going to recover. By the way, In my experience, it has found a lot of lost data. I have also visited various forums and websites. Almost, Everyone had the same experience. Its detection rate is very good.

However, After the scan is done, you will get the options to choose which files or file types you want to recover. You can recover specific data or everything it has found. The data recovery speed is fast and not slow like the scan process. However, It also depends on the Apple iOS Device, Lightning cable, and the file size. But, The overall speed should be good. At least, My experience supports this statement.

iOS Device Rescuing Performance and Details:

In most situations, It should successfully rescue your iPhone/iPad/iPod from various problems. If you talk about the Passcode remover, in one word it is great. However, Before trying this feature, you should know that it will erase your device to remove the passcode, Touch ID or Face ID. To complete this process, you may require your Apple ID credentials. So, Before trying this feature, I suggest you take a backup of your iPhone/iPad/iPod.

If you want to use Screen Time Passcode Recovery feature, it won’t erase your device. This feature is equipped with NO-DATA-LOSS technology.

The overall performance and experience with PhoneRescue is quite good.

A Few More Things about PhoneRescue:

However, You should be cautious about a few things. These are –

• Don’t keep iTunes opened while using iMobie PhoneRescue
• Don’t use problematic Lightning Cable
• Also, Don’t unplug during the data recovery process is running
• Make sure the USB port you are using on your computer is 100% functional and in a good state

Also, keep in mind, If you use iCloud Photo and enabled Optimize iPhone/iPad Storage, in some cases, you may face some rare problems. It’s not actually a problem. If the first iPhone has the original photo and second iPhone has the same photo from iCloud but optimize storage enabled, the original high-quality photo actually doesn’t exist on the second iPhone. It just shows you the thumbnail. But, If you open the photo on the 2nd iPhone, the original photo only then gets downloaded. So, You understand that not all original photos will exist on the 2nd iPhone or any other iOS devices except the first one. In this type of situation, if you use PhoneRescue for the second iPhone or other, you won’t get the original photo recovered but a thumbnail instead. As it has the option to recover from iCloud, you can use that to get the original one.

Cons:

In fact, PhoneRescue does its main job well. The only major downside can be it is not free. Else, Some of the features like recovery from iCloud are not that impressive. Another thing is, you must need the iTunes installed on your PC to use this software.

Price:

As it is a premium software, it’s not free. However, there is an option for a free trial with limited functionalities. You only can scan and preview by the trial version. By the way, The pricing of PhoneRescue starts from $49.99 USD/Year for a single Computer. A lifetime license costs $60. However, TechClassy audience can get a lifetime license at $39.99. That is an amazing deal indeed.

But, If you ask me, I would say you definitely can use this software. It is one of the very few products that can rescue your iPhone from various bad situations as well as can recover deleted data.
