Interesting to see today's Chinese developer tackling a core issue head-on with this question emblazoned on its home page: 'Why trust Rcysoft?'

There are -- somewhere -- 547 reviews of today's paid-for version and -- somewhere -- 2,845 reviews of the freeware version. Or so the website says. Millions of users worldwide positively LOVE Rcysoft. Or so the website says. Rcysoft Data Recovery Wizard Pro is the leading recovery software in 160 countries. Or so the website says.

The world, however, seems strangely coy about its enthusiasm. Rcysoft's website links (such as they are) lead to a crass Softpedia 'review' of the product and a reported 24 downloads, and to a download site's "Publisher's Description' with a reported 111 downloads. Evidence of the existence of a contented worldwide user base is short by many millions.

As GOTD comment threads exist to be of benefit as much to the developer of the day as to GOTD visitors of the day, here's a tip to Rcysoft:

Be it data recovery or any other kind of software, computer users really really do not like having to resort to truth recovery in order to figure out whether they should trust a product enough to install it on their machine.

In answer to that question then: 'Why trust Rcysoft?' the answer, in my case, has to be: 'I don't.' Thanks GOTD, but no thanks. More than enough known, established and trustworthy recovery software exists out there without bothering with something so deliberately misrepresented as this.

MikeR,

Not also to mention that it was apparently born in version 8.0, as Google cannot find any other version ever published. All these childish tricks and claims by Rcysoft only serve to answer the question of "Why NOT trust Rcysoft?". I wouldn't touch such a company with a ten-foot pole.

What a pity that Rcysoft has shot itself in the foot with behaviour that makes you think if you can't believe what it says about itself then how can you believe what it says about it's software? Competition is good for the consumer, and I for one would have been interested in trying this software and perhaps even purchasing it. Computer users are not hostile to new kids on the block. GAOTD users especially are likely to encourage them. Rcysoft had no need to pretend anything but because it obviously has done then like the poster at post number 1, thanks but no thanks. Whether or not Rcysoft intended it, I don't like being treated as if I am stupid.

Will this recover pictures, from unrecognized external hard drive? Mine is not recognized and I can not open it to retrieve files. Thanks, Trish

Trish,

There are basically 2 parts to an external drive -- the drive itself & the interface so that drive can be used by a computer. There's a chance that your problem is with that interface, & the drive itself is just fine. 1st try the drive with other PCs &/or laptops, then check the drive manufacturer's web site support for potential solutions, and if those routes fail, Google on how to access & use the drive itself with the make/model external drive you have.
