Karl's comments are always useful. He did not "driven people wrongly"; he simply explained why he didn't complete his usual, very useful evaluation.

It is commendable that the developer follows these discussions and provides input. It is certainly something to be encouraged. For his benefit, I provide the following bona fide advice.

A simple, clear tutorial is a good, if not essential, feature.

But an even better feature is an intuitive use which doesn't require reading (and remembering) instructions or following tutorials.

I dare go even further and say from experience that, for the average user who is spoiled by well planned interfaces, the moment reading instructions becomes necessary, the program can be considered a half-failure.

If this was meant to be a list of freeware alternatives then it's very misleading.

If it was meant to be a list of cheaper alternatives worth exploring, then it's badly flawed as well as mis-timed, seeing as how today's giveaway is just that -- free -- and the only time when it would be worth checking out against commercial rivals is if a re-install is necessary or if you're so impressed with today's software, you're considering buying it at retail.

I won't be alone in grinning wryly at all the silly instant upvotes given so unthinkingly to your post -- upvotes which may well make others arriving here think oooh, look, lots of other freebies found by Mr Hick!! --so here are the facts, provided as much out of fairness to other GOTDers as out of basic courtesy to today's developer:

Easus Partition Recovery (actually it's Easus Data Recovery): $69.95

7-Data Recovery: $49.95

Remo PRO Edition: $99.95 (there are cheaper versions but anyone would have to be an idiot to fall for this particular developer's selling pitch whereby "different" file types are found but others not -- yeah, right;

Stellar Partition Recovery: $119

MiniTool Data Recovery: $69

As will be evident, "if you want to save your dollars" then staying well clear of REMO PRO Edition and Stellar Partition Recovery is highly advisable, so I don't know why you've come on here to publicise them.

As an aside, I do wish when people post stuff like the above they would CHECK FIRST. It's not GOTD's responsibility to do so -- but yours.

Finally, seeing as how today's developer is on here -- and kudos to him for doing so -- I really would recommend that you re-visit your price point. You're up against a really, really BIG name in the form of Easus so you're going to be much better off commercially, going for volume sales on sticker prices that undercut Easus rather than persisting in following the bonkers route of developers like REMO and Stellar.
