"Misleading - Not Actually FREE"
Version: ArtPlus Digital Photo Recovery 3.1
Pros
It found all 1357 photos of my last trip with my senior class. It worked great as it did what it said it would. It's not free but cheap, compared to the other softwares out there.
Cons
YOU NEED THE FULL VERSION of this software to actually restore the files. So it's really misleading. It's about 25 dollars. Well it's not expensive compared to the other softwares available for this. But in the end, it just tricked me to buy it.
Summary
It's a life saver. But saving lives is never free.

"I had taken over 6k photos and recovered 32k."
Version: ArtPlus Digital Photo Recovery 5.1
Pros
This program definitely works. I was able to view the photos prior to paying for them to make sure I wanted them. For the amount of photos that I had the program work fast and efficiently.
Cons
The only con that I could say about the program is some of the photos it recovered were not viewable and once I restored them were not able to be opened.
Summary
The bottom line is this program is terrific. It did what I paid for and we are happy. I was also hoping that it would be able to recover the pictures of the birth of my daughter that were lost but it wasn't.When you look at the big picture I paid $35 to get the software and have my pictures backed up to a CD what more could anyone ask for? The program did exactly what I paid for it to do and it recovered quite a bit more photos than I thought it would. Plus it gives you an option to view the files after recovering them to ensure you want to spend the money. As far as I am concerned, no amount of money is worth memories of the family, they are priceless!

"300 Images SAVED !"
Version: ArtPlus Digital Photo Recovery 5.1
Pros
Worked the first time to recover 300 or 305 images. Easy to download, install and use.
Cons
Should have some kind of "working" symbol since it almost seems to hang while recovering.

"Recovered some images, but not .mpg videos."
Version: ArtPlus Digital Photo Recovery 5.1
Pros
Simple to use, quite dummy-proof.
Cons
I was trying to recover some mpeg files. The program claimed it works for multiple formats, but did not recover anything other than jpegs. It did, however, recovered the thumbnails of the mpeg files that I was looking for, but were useless to me.
Summary
There is no guarantee what you can recover, so it's a bet. But if you manage to get what you are looking for, than it's well worth the price.

"Version 5 is not free"
Version: ArtPlus Digital Photo Recovery 2.3
Pros
It is easy to download, a bit slow, but recovers most deleted images.
Cons
I think it is dishonest to advertise a product as "free" and then demand $24.95 to recover the thumbnails.
Summary
The product works, but not for free as advertised.

"Scam, this is not a free program."

Pros
Does seem to work if you pay the money
Cons
you wait for it to recover only to be told you have to pay to finish. Happy to pay for a prog, but not by scammers who say free.

"Gave exactly what I needed and wanted"
Version: ArtPlus Digital Photo Recovery 5.1
Pros
Restores all your lost photos
Cons
Can't really think of any cons.
Summary
I lost 1300 photos from my memory card due to battery failure while moving the photos from camera to computer. This program gave 1666 photos back (so old ones too). Every photo was usable! Tried couple free programs which restored about 10 photos only, rest photos were tagged as "not able to restore".
Program was really easy to use. Only con comes from the photo tagging. I didn't want to restore the old photos, so had to click every single one of them to remove them from restore list.
