Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 66 reviews, most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. Many customers found the application effective and easy to use, especially for data recovery, with some successfully retrieving important files they thought were lost. People appreciate its user-friendly interface and the ability to recover a large number of photos and other data quickly. Several users highlighted its reliability and seamless operation, particularly for managing BitLocker-protected drives and connecting to various external storage devices. However, some people were dissatisfied with the application's instability, reporting frequent crashes and difficulties with installation or opening the app on their MacBooks. A significant number of users experienced issues with external drives reverting to read-only status or being unable to enable write access, leading to frustration and inability to transfer files. Additionally, some found the instructions for uninstalling unclear, the free trial non-functional, or the software not working as expected on newer macOS versions, with some reporting system freezes.

Easy to use tool

iBoysoft NTFS for Mac lets me write to NTFS drives on Mac, great tool!

I’ve been using iBoysoft NTFS for Mac, and it’s a game-changer! With it, I can write to NTFS drives on my Mac without any hassle. What really surprised me is the speed—it’s almost as fast as using a local disk. Copying files back and forth feels smooth and seamless, and it just makes managing my Windows-formatted drives on Mac so much easier.

NOT Free

The info says "Free Download" but when I installed it and run it, I was asked to pay $69 to buy. Then, it is NOT FREE and it is mis-leading. I am angry to have wasted my time on a mis-leading advice.

Thank you for your feedback, and we understand your frustration. The "free download" refers to the ability to download the software at no cost, allowing you to try it out and scan for lost data. However, if you wish to recover the found data, a payment is required. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused.

Did not work for me (might work well for others). Lack of willingness for timely refund.

Update/clarification - company was very much 'on top of' technical support / assistance - I just needed a refund. Recently received, but would prefer to have received when requested instead of support going for "the save". Thank you.

Useful but...

My 4TB drive crashed and iBoysoft had helped to recover the data. However, it was painfully slow (to me) and it was not evident how long a particular folder might take for the recovery to take place, so that I can prioritise which folder to recover first, and when to schedule each folder (when I was not using the computer for work). Something close to 100GB could run longer than overnight. On occasion, iBoysoft also quit unexpectedly for unknown reason and I had to restart the process a few times. If the software can also provide a checklist of previously recovered files to enable the user to check-off recovered files that would be good.

Thank you for sharing your data recovery experience with iBoysoft. We understand how frustrating it can be when a large recovery process takes much longer than expected, especially without a clear indication of progress for specific folders. The ability to prioritize folder recovery and schedule it during non-working hours would certainly be helpful, and your suggestion for a checklist of previously recovered files to avoid duplication is great.

About the slow speed, the recovery speed depends on the read speed of your original hard drive where you lost data and the write speed of the destination hard drive where you save the recovered files.

Regarding the unexpected crashes, we are sorry to hear that happened and our tech support has contacted you via email, your feedback is valuable and will help improve the software.

Asked for a refund

Update customer service can through to help get my issues resolved quickly, thank you for the speedy action

Asked for a refund, because my drives won’t work. Which is stated as a reason in the refund policy, the drives have been destroyed, there is no way to recreate the screen shots. So I am out of luck with software I can’t use.
