Actually, the software worked for me – but all I wanted was a 1 year license. They never tell you that it is set up as a recurring payment and you’ll be charged a year later. I’ve reported them to Paypal.
Never try. iSkysoft data recovery programme is terrible. You can lose all your data in your computer or cell phone. Sucks…

No data recovery software will increase you actual file size. Probably you are seeing some other file. Because data recovery software will recover all files hidden from memory clusters. It even recovers old files, you might forgot about those files.
