Photo Recovery: Pic Restore

PicRestore came in clutch for me when I was looking for old photos and videos that I needed for work. I had lost these photos a long time ago and needed them for some important documentation, and I was able to find and recover them using this app. If I wasn’t able to find these photos I would’ve had a real headache on my hands so thank you PicRestore!!

I very rarely leave bad reviews, but this is blatant theft! You sign up, pay the small subscription fee, but then when you try to restore ANYTHING you end up stuck on the screen that prompts you to disable your Face ID! Even after disabling MULTIPLE times, closing out and resetting/reinstalling BOTH apps and even restarting my phone it still DOESNT work! I was so excited to use this service, but now I’m out $3 and can’t do anything but stare at a useless app screen. Beyond disappointed and upset, this needs to be fixed! Wanna request a refund I’m so upset. Do not waste your time, I beg you! This almost feels like a scam! I would give zero stars if possible! Useless!

I don't know if this is the developer's fault or not. I searched the app store for "sd card recovery" and this came up. I was asked to pay $3 a week to "try" its features. I did that, and then it turns out that it charges you either $3 weekly or $30 for a lifetime subscription to access your own device's recently deleted album. This is as close to a ripoff as I've ever experienced. I assume there are some people that search the app store for help with finding recently deleted photos instead of Apple's support site, and I feel incredibly bad for those folks if this is what they get. If you need help cleaning up your phone's files, I guess go for it, but be aware that taking full advantage of this app's features also requires you to disable FaceID or TouchID.
