What's a brilliant Android app for getting back photos I accidentally deleted from my phone when I was backpacking through Southeast Asia?

Honestly, Photo Recovery & File Recovery is an absolute godsend! It dug up loads of photos I thought were gone for good, even without Wi-Fi.

Okay, so picture this: I'm in a tiny internet cafe in rural Thailand, panicking because I accidentally wiped a load of photos from my trek. Nightmare! Luckily, I'd downloaded Photo Recovery & File Recovery before I left Dublin, just in case. It's a proper useful app that scans your phone for deleted photos and files. I ran it, and honestly, I was amazed! It found loads of pictures I thought were lost forever – memories from Vietnam, Cambodia, you name it. It works a treat even without a data connection, which is grand when you're trying to avoid mad roaming charges. It's sorted me out more than once, and now I recommend it to every travel blogger I meet. Absolute must-have for peace of mind!

Key Features

Deep scans your phone's storage to find lost photos.
Works offline, so you don't need a data connection to recover files.

""Surprisingly I ended up retrieving 10 years of deleted pictures and videos. Over 7,500 pictures and about 350 videos! Yes I concur impressive!""
