However, many report that the app does not reliably shred files, as deleted data is often recoverable. Stability issues include app crashes, lack of progress feedback, and login problems. The presence of ads and unresponsive support also diminish user experience. Recent updates have introduced significant problems, causing frustration and loss of trust in the app's capability to securely erase data.

Upgraded to Pro👍 I like the simplicity of the layout, the shredding algorithm choices and dark theme. Other apps couldn't find hidden or other directories. Shreddit does. It's so easy to shred by sharing files to the app. 4 stars because I need high pass algos (Gutman etc.)

After a few attempts, the app seems to be working well. The developer was helpful In getting it working.

I can shred a file using DOD set to 9000 passes and it completes almost instantly. That makes me think it's not actually shredding anything.

Not bad application, with ads. Most efficient is fillers, algorithms take a lot of time, after first pass percentage of the completion is gone. Environment - Android 13 OS. Support Email not working.

Great app. Only one issue... If while doing a shredding job i accidentally swipe and close the app from recent apps page, the job still continues but there is no way to see it's progress or cancel it. The only way I know the job is still running is because the app will not let me do a new task or change settings while a job is being performed.

This app is a sham! I've tried everything but it does not work. No matter what method I use I can recover the files easily on my computer. I would never trust this app to safely delete my personal data.

I am pro subscriber of this app because company data must be secured. Report bug option is not working. There is an issue with battery status in this app. It shows fixed percent, not the actual 'real time' percentage of battery. It is like fixed to * percent when you open the app, no matter what the actual percentage of mobile battery is. You should enable users to report the issues in your app. Besides, I have not tried to recover data after shredding but I will try it as well.

Update Review: I take it you didnt read my review properly or at all by the sounds of it. I challenge you to re-read what I said down below. and then reply with a different answer. "App dont work keeps requesting to grant permission for SDCard storage. I have granted it in app settings and still continues to request. So app dont live up to its name."

Truth: I've been on web 10+ years. This used to be a cool app. Changed my review from 5 to 1. Last update was horrid & half functions dont work, & I'm not paying. Can find similar apps just as good, free! What a great disappointment from developers. Greedy for money. Yuck! I'll uninstall.
