Review summary

Reviews are mixed. Many users report successful recovery of deleted photos/videos and occasionally other files, and some praise it when it works. However, frequent reliability problems, limited recovery scope (often only items in Trash or older deletions), concerns about fake/misleading behavior, and the presence of in-app purchases drive substantial negative sentiment. Overall, the app may offer value for data recovery, but reliability and scope limitations are common drawbacks.

Pros

Recovers deleted photos and videos (positive recovery stories)
Reportedly recovers other file types as well (e.g., Excel)
Some users consider it the best app for photo recovery when it works
Recovers data to the device gallery/album, restoring accessibility to files you thought were lost

Cons

Reliability issues; many users report the app not working or being useless
Limited recovery scope; cannot recover very recent deletions and may only restore items in Trash
Perceived fake or misleading behavior by some reviewers
In-app purchases are present/prominent, leading to negative impressions

2026-08-01	Ow*****	If I could give this app zero stars, I would. DiskDigger is hands down the most useless, frustrating, and pathetic piece of software I’ve ever installed on my phone. It has one job—recovering lost files—and it fails completely. I accidentally deleted some extremely important photos and videos, downloaded this app expecting a quick fix, and got nothing but false hope and wasted time. After running a painfully slow "scan" that nearly froze my phone, it didn't recover a single deleted photo.
