Dr.Fone- Clean up iPhone Reviews

by Mybrainhertz

I really HATE these miserable tricky companies with a passion and a vengeance.

Summary

1. Trial Software is a bait and switch
2. To make software work you need to pay $85 half way through the repair.
3. It bricked the phone
4. There’s no way to contact these guys as their help page doesn’t work and doesn’t allow contact.

My story.

I downloaded DrFoneCleanupiPhone because my friend’s iPhone was misbehaving. DrFoneCleanupiPhone then prompted me to download a computer program on my Mac computer as a trial. So I did that. Then it asked me to connect an iPhone so I connected my friend’s iPhone and restarted as per their instructions and hit the repair button. After 20 minutes of downloading data onto my computer I was asked if I wanted to repair the system and reload onto the iPhone. I clicked yes. Of course it’s not a trial, I had to buy it to fix it.

$84 USD later the repaired system is being uploaded to the phone whereupon it crashes at 88% and bricks the phone.

I try to contact the company and there’s no way because their help desk website locks up !!!! There’s no eMail for them either.

I’m waiting for the charge to post on my credit card so I can dispute this payment.

This is an ethics free company with no service and software that will damage your phone. AVOID THEM LIKE the PLAGUE.

Complete waste of time. Tried to back up contacts and would not let it take it to other iPhone. Inbuilt Apple features are billion times better than these fake bogus apps.

A lot of sites will tell you to get DrFoneCleanupiPhone. Well don’t listen to them. They will act as if it’s free. It’s not! Not even close. Then it’s transfer doesn’t transfer anything. The repair says it won’t delete data and then it does. Total scam don’t get it you’ll end up paying like $80 for each section when you can do most of the stuff on iTunes. Trust me don’t get it. Find something else. If you don’t listen to this comment and get DrFoneCleanupiPhone instead and then try it on your pc I wouldn’t recommend it cause your wasting your time but listen to me when I say this don’t waste your money!! Once it forces you to pay DON’T. Find something else trust me you’ll thank me later. It’s a hard life out there. This is a scam. A legal scam, but a scam none the less.

Avoid this company at all cost, they promise a money back guarantee, however, they make it impossible

I tried using DrFoneCleanupiPhone on my computer to unlock my old lg and was totally useless didn’t halo a bit. I’m very upset when I tried unlocking my phone all it said was my model phone was not supported and it didn’t even have any other options or tips that’s it. I’m tired of downloading apps that are supposed to be helpful and turn out to be completely bogus like this one.. there’s a reason you only have two stars. I think that app stores should start removing apps that have a rating lower than three stars for an extended period of time it would save a lot of people the headache of crap apps like this.

Prepare to be hijacked. DrFoneCleanupiPhone no longer works and instead you are hijacked to another app they want you to download and pay for outside DrFoneCleanupiPhone Store. Normally I’d be all for screwing Apple and they are incompetent fools. For more than two years I’ve been unable to download photos off my phone. So first let me give Apple some vigorous hand gestures. A dozen phone calls and still nothing.

I though is try DrFoneCleanupiPhone but if it was an app it no longer is. It’s a hijacking. So vigorous hand gestures to them also.

A whole lot of gesturing going on.

After downloading DrFoneCleanupiPhone to my phone, download the software to my pc, waiting to restore and backup, then you have to pay $90 to restore

This is a bait and switch product designed to advertise a desktop tool. The description does not apply to DrFoneCleanupiPhone which only allows a few (the last 99) photos to be accessed.

The rest of the description, and most of the actual app, just market the desktop program. It is not needed for the desktop program and is basically unrelated to the desktop program. The actual desktop interface is through a browser on the desktop.

I just tried this for photo transfer, followed the instructions and visited the IP provided leaving DrFoneCleanupiPhone open in the foreground. Selected the photos I wanted and hit export at which point it tried to download something but failed saying “network error”. It’s possible somehow DrFoneCleanupiPhone is being blocked by PC but it did show the photos so who knows. Not worth the trouble to figure it out.

by Maxwellpravo

This is a total scam; once you download the software on your computer and connect your phone it will make your phone not work properly issues with Apple ID sign in so that you have to pay them money to fix it. I really don’t know how DrFoneCleanupiPhone is allowed in DrFoneCleanupiPhone store. Apple need to remove it.

Steer clear. No indication of what you’re in for till you’ve downloaded app. And are then presented with ridiculous fees. (Would you prefer to bleed monthly? Or annually??). The “backup” data this junk found on my iPhone SE included call data from 1969. Sure. Whatever. Couldn’t get it off my computer fast enough. Only hope it’s all really gone.

by Peterpmtm

I paid $69 for what it guaranteed, but after downloading my phone was bricked and the software wasn’t able to complete its job. Also, before downloading, this company guarantees to keep your data, but right before the last step it gives you a warning sign that you agree with your data being deleted.

DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY!!!! Complete lie!!!!

What are these characters? Says you can transfer photos then gives a string of characters to “type into a browser on your computer” but its not a website, just a string of meaningless characters. Not sure why people waste their time distributing non functional apps?

Got the program because I had a Samsung and was changing to an iPhone and wanted to try and save what I could. I downloaded the software on my computer and phone. Not only did it put a bug on my computer and whip my old phone, it hacked my life! My bank account and credit cards were hacked and it took almost a month to get the $40k they stole! There was no way to contact them either. After deleting the program, I come to find out it embedded itself on my computer in a hidden folder still causing issues. Thankfully I know enough about computers and was able to find it but the only way to remove it was to completely delete and reinstall my operating system. It was a month long nightmare.

I purchased the suite of programs:
* Recover doesn’t recover anything from any iPhones or iPads
*Transfer only works if I transfer all photos - I cannot select individual or groups
* switch does not appear to work with my iPhone 8

Excellent Backup App. Very Easy to use with a Nice Interface. Highly Recommended!

by Yayfornikki

Don’t have access to a cpu, any way to do this?

by GamerHardcore

Great app, others don’t know how to using it , just click on photo transfer in bottom left and in your pc type the ip shown in any web browser and click on any photo or video you wanna download click on it and click on the download icon boom ez

by Anselboi

everyone complaining about DrFoneCleanupiPhone just used it wrong. You ONLY need to use DrFoneCleanupiPhone, and use a browser. If you're trying to transfer photos between computer and phone, open DrFoneCleanupiPhone and hit photo transfer. It tells u an address to put in, and u get taken to a browser version where you can easily drag files between devices. I've been using it for months now it's really great! Only problem is now I got a new wifi and the address it gave me is wack and I can't connect

Trying to send MP4 to an iPad. On the iPad it seems ok to start. Then on the desktop they demand you purchase their utility. This requirement was not stated up front. $90 is way too much!

I would not recommend DrFoneCleanupiPhone it did not work for me and it did not make it clear how to use DrFoneCleanupiPhone and how do backup or recover something
