With Handy Recovery, scanning your PC and recovering selected files is a simple process--once you get over some initial hurdles. During testing, at first it wasn't clear that folders marked with a red X were the ones that contained deleted items, but we cleared that up by consulting the help files. Handy Recovery tells you what chance it has of restoring a given deleted file. It lets you search results by keyword or filter, and it also lets you filter discovered files according to various parameters. It can read raw disk data, which may be your last resort with damaged text files. In our tests, the program had no problem finding the majority of erased documents, although you're out of luck if your system drive has been damaged. Also, if you need to find and recover a large number of files, this program may not be the answer, as the demo only lets you restore one file per day for a month. Overall, Handy Recovery is best suited to home users undertaking simple recovery tasks.Publisher's description

Version: Handy Recovery 4
Pros: I have 3.0 version, and I gotta say this one is awesome. I live in town where we get power outage often when it's thunder storming. And we have a few seasons every year, so, of course, I've been in the situation where my power's out while I'm moving my files. This app is my life saver.
Cons: None really. You won't like it if it's the trial version. But it's worth to get the real one.

Version: Handy Recovery 4
"Company takes your money but won't send product license"
Pros: I've used their product before and it works great, but with the trial it only allows you 1 filie per day.
Cons: I'm in an emergency situation, I downloaded the product, found the files, ordered and paid for a license, and have now waited over a day for them to send me a license key. Phone calls and emails have gone unanswered.
Summary: Great product, but they have a LONG way to go on customer support. When you need your files recovered, you can't wait a day for their customer service to provide licenses after you've paid for it.
