Who is Dr.fone For – Main Features of Dr.fone

Since there is a series of products in Dr.fone toolkit, Dr.fone is for anyone who wants to recover or manage data on their phone.

Here’s the list the Dr.fone products and their main features.

1. Data Recovery – Recover lost data from iOS devices, iTunes/iCloud backup, Android devices (broken Android included), and SD card.

Our Test: In our iPhone photo recovery test, Dr. Data Recovery can only “recovered” photos that were still on the device itself, including the photos in trash folder. Also, the program can scan contacts, messages and so on.

Tip: If you intend to use Dr.fone to help you recover specific lost or deleted files on your phone, download the free trial before purchasing it. If the software does not find the deleted files with the free version, it will not find them with the paid version either. So you won’t waste money.

2. Phone Manager – Transfer photos, videos, contacts, messages, contacts between iOS/Android devices and computer.

Our Test: We use it to transfer photos from iPhone to computer quickly and successfully.

Dr.fone Review: The Verdict

Wondershare has focus on the mobile and PC software filed more than 10 years. Their products has better reputation in the industry and Dr.fone is one of its most popular toolkit.

However, when you check the reviews of Dr.fone online, you will find that it has so many positive reviews from publishers and professionals, but more bad reviews from its users? Why? I believe there are main reasons.

  1. The product is imperfect. I must say all products are imperfect. However, if take Dr.fone Data Recovery as an example, users have the reason to be angry. When you read the description on Dr.fone’s official website, it seems that you can recover almost anything on your phone. Then, you purchase the software but found that most of the files you want to recover are unrecoverable.
  2. Human Nature. People heed negative reviews more than positive ones. Also, customers who have a bad experience are twice to three times more likely to write an angry review than customers who had a great experience are to post a happy review. 
  3. Promotion. Some posts from publishers and professionals are really unbiased while some posts on the internet are promoted by Dr.fone itself. Unbiased posts will mention the pros and cons at the same time and take them equally important, but promotional post will mainly describe the positive side of the products.

Personally, we believe Dr.fone is a good toolkit to help you to recover, restore, protect, transfer, or manage your mobile data quickly and easily. Also, we think it is especially useful for elder people.
