The 'unlock' to see more should have been a clue not to buy it! It does not work! Don't buy it! Customer service useless, doesn't even read the information I sent them.

Hello DaJuan,

I am sorry you had a bad experience.

Due to technical capabilities we cannot guarantee to recover a specific piece of data because several factors, including device usage, conditions, and the method of data loss. As Enigma Recovery couldn't recover your data you have been offered a refund.

Thanks

Luckily I realized this was fraudulent before I purchased a key to "Unlock" all my deleted messages. After you do your initial scan they give you partial access to a text message that has been supposedly deleted. My preview had a hotel reservation and message from the sender saying he/she got a job at Five Guys. The only person I've ever know that worked there was my son and he's never stayed at a hotel that's 50 miles from our house... I would give zero stars if I could!

Arbitrarily converted my "lifetime" license to a one year license. Refused to refund. Also, refused to refund a different license when software kept crashing. Horrendous service!

I spent 2 hours doing the preliminary scan for this product. The messages I needed showed up as "locked' so I purchased the program to "unlock" these messages. Of course the program didn't actually unlock these messages. TOTAL scam. I tried contacting the company and they REFUSE to help or refund despite their "satisfaction guarantee"... Luckily I can dispute the charge with my bank. Terrible company, terrible customer service, do not waster you time.

I used this recovery system because I was desperate to retrieve messages i accidentally deleted as I'm sure most people are when they are looking for a recovery program. It recovered messages from months ago but not from days ago. Makes no sense. I contacted support and of course they said well it works 94% of the time, lol that makes me laugh because I'm pretty sure 94% of people are going to fall into that 16% and it won't work. I got every excuse in the book but my favorite was well you updated the iOS so it wiped out older messages. Lol it was the older messages that it found so nope wrong. I wouldn't get this product it's a waste of money and they won't refund your money. They prey on the fact that ur desperate and you need to recover something important take your 50 knowing it most likely won't do what it's supposed to do then stand behind their 94% work and your just part of that 16% sorry. Stay away from this company.

Enigma is a Scam
July 23, 2020

They take your money and when the software doesn't work, they refuse to refund it. I ultimately ended up purchasing Decipher and it worked like a charm. Avoid Enigma. It is a scam

After having to purchase the unlimited data backup, the software quit working all together.
Everytime i would get on there to do a recovery something went wrong with it. Now that i have paid out over 100$ it will not do nothing. And forget about support helping you. It has a chat button, but unless your gonna stay on your laptop for 10 days, you can forget it.
The times i was successful it didnt give me any more info then what was already on the phone its self.
There are way better software recovery out there.

I purchased Enigma Recovery software for $79.99 to recover a missing note on an iPhone 7, however their product was not successful in doing what was advertised. I contacted customer support with my complaint but they refused to give me a full refund for my purchase - even after I deleted the software and told them I do not intend on using it further. They also stopped communicating with me after I told them I was going to escalate this issue through PayPay (note the case was closed in my favour haha). So, let this be proof that a great company like PayPal is smart enough to sniff out a fraud like Enigma Recovery. Had they been willing to refund my purchase themselves perhaps Enigma Recovery could have avoided this embarrassing review.

Hi Phil, I am sorry to hear you couldn't recover what you were looking for. On our website is advertised we have a 94% recovery rate and we give the chance to users to use the software before purchasing to check if the data is recoverable. Our refund policy says we cannot offer a refund if you couldn't recover one specific item. There are a lot of happy customers so definitely not a fraud.

This product I'm sure did the most it could, I'm sure when something is gone forever (overwritten) it truly is gone forever. However, deleting the backup files to my device after the scan was a pain, you have to manually remove the files from your computer HD instead of simply having an "erase backup" button on the interface to just click.
Maybe in a future update?

Thank you for trusting Enigma Recovery. You are right, when is overwritten, unfortunately, it is gone forever. We actually have an easy way to delete the backup, you can check how to do it on https://help.enigma-recovery.com/en/articles/4091954-can-i-delete-incremental-backups, it will remove only the backup you select :)

Rip off
June 7, 2020

Don't buy this crap. Their "amazing technology" didn't deliver and I'm an unhappy customer and they could care less.

Here's the deal. I received a text one day at 9:10am. Accidentally deleted it at 4pm that day. Bought the software at 7pm that day. Didn't use my phone between 4p-7p. Bought 3 products- this crappy one for $60 and 2 others for $30. None of these products could get that one text. The next day at 5p I requested a refund from all companies because I knew I was out of luck. The 2 $30 companies refunded me. This, crappy company said "our software shows you recovered 12 texts so we can't refund you". The 12 texts were some random texts from years ago. No refund and they're not interested in customer satisfaction. Don't buy it.

I read their website that says that the software can recover data from a broken iPhone, but this is not case if you cant get past the "Trust Computer" stage. I asked Alvin for a refund, which was plainly refused. What a rip-off.

I've had several problems upon purchasing this program. I've been in contact with customer service several times, and they keep telling me to uninstall, and reinstall the program. They are extremely adamant that they DO NOT give you a refund at all. So I spent good money on a program i've never been able to use since day one, with no chance of getting my money back. I pray that nobody ever buys this program, and that this company goes under ASAP. Absolutely terrible buisness.

Hello Seth, I have checked your query. First of all, you purchased the software and later you realized you didn't want it, in that case, we don't offer a refund, it is said on our refund policy. Secondly, before getting a refund we need to complete troubleshooting and you didn't provide the information we asked you. I completely understand your situation, but I hope you understand ours, it is clearly said on our refund policy.

DON'T PAY THEM $60.00 FOR NOTHING. Their ads lead you to believe they can recover deleted information that still resides within the iPhone. All the software does is scan what is visible and allows you to put it in a doc format. What's more it's a one use product. Enigma is a good name for their product "a person or thing that is mysterious, puzzling, or difficult to understand"

Hello Roger, I am sorry to hear you couldn't recover what you needed. Enigma Recovery is able to recover deleted or lost data from your iOS device, in fact, we are one of the best-rated recovery software on the market. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee to recover a specific item or 100% and it is advertised on our website. Thank you.

Bought this product a few weeks ago and tried to recover photos from the cloud, every single time I've tried since then I get a technical error from there servers, it has not even tried to connect to the cloud once as the software doesn't work. As it says in their refund policy, any technical issues are a cause for refund. I emailed them, finally got a response saying they weren't going to refund me, despite my issue being a legit reason for refund, I have read the policy. So I wrote to them twice more in the last 2 weeks, no response still, obviously they know they're in the wrong and are refusing a legit request for a refund.

The software does not work as advertised, the iCloud recovery does not even work AT ALL, their "customer service" is slow and when you do get a response its from someone who does not even understand your basic request, you will not get a refund even when you have a legit reason for one. Its a simple scam, I should have read reviews before buying it I guess.

Good luck to the rest of you, save your hard earned money and take it elsewhere.

Enigma Recovery will not offer you a refund OR a store credit. They are a very difficult company to deal with. If you buy the software and it does not allow you to recover what you needed, you will have wasted nearly $100CAD for absolutely nothing. Their customer service is horrible, as other Recovery Software that I purchased all offer refunds. I spoke to three people from their company: Kent, Alvin, and James, and all three of them said NO to giving me any sort of refund. DO NOT PURCHASE ANY PRODUCTS FROM THIS COMPANY, YOU WILL REGRET IT.

Hello Diana, I am sorry to hear that you had a bad experience, but it is advertised on our website that we cannot guarantee to recover 100% of the data as it might be overwritten. The amount of data that can be recovered will depend on several factors, including device usage and how the data was lost originally.
More details can be found in our Refund Policy here: https://www.enigma-recovery.com/refund-and-billing-policy/, which details when we can offer you a refund and when we cannot. We do offer a Free Trial of the software for users to check that their data is recoverable before purchasing. I will speak with our Support Agents, and we will contact you directly to try and help you resolve this issue.

It does not recover any lost video or pictures that are lost. If it is not in your deleted they can not get it back... but why would you pay money if you can just do it yourself. WASTE! And they do not reply to your emails if you have a problem with this issue, they just ignore you!

Hello Michael, I am sorry to hear that, I will ask you some private details on a message and our support team will get you in contact to try and help you with your issue.

From the business

We are developers and sellers of recovery software for iPhones using Windows and Mac. We are backed by Boundary Capital and Mangrove Capital who are both venture capital companies.
We are based in Birmingham in UK and are doing our best to make the software as good as it can be within the constraints imposed by Apple on all external developers. This means that performance fluctuates but we offer relatively cheap licences which can be updated to the latest version of the software during the life of the phone.
