Comments on Data Eraser - iShredder for Android

★★★★★ Souperman Campbell · Mar 27, 2026

If you know what it does, then it does what it does. Get you some. Pay for pro. Extra features are the stuff.

★★★★★ Guess · Jun 2, 2026

Great app. I have the Military Edition which works efficiently. But at times it reverts to the Free edition. I have to replace my account and password to gain the Military Edition. Still a good shredder.

★★★★★ Augustine Baratheon · Apr 18, 2026

Seems to do what it is designed to do. It creates random large files until it takes up all the space on your phone, and it shreds them, multiple times. In theory, this will make your intended deleted file unrecoverable.

★★★★★ FinkWorld · Jul 13, 2025

Wow, phone gets real warm when doing a DOD wipe, but nothing serious. I now feel comfortable selling the phone without worry of data lingering on it. Never really did trust the factory wipe! Price is very reasonable for the military grade wipe! Very good program, keep up the good work!

I have purchased a lifetime plan but from past few weeks my plan keeps dropping to free plan customer support via email is so not properly responding google say to contact developers!!!

★☆☆☆☆ M Young · May 16, 2026

Installed this to delete any lingering files in my phone before factory resetting. After running this app, it ended up still leaving files, text messages, and photos in my phone.

★☆☆☆☆ Pat Orchard · Apr 25, 2026

Tested this by deleting files and photos. Made sure that all the correct permissions were given in the tick boxes pre wipe. Constantly failed to wipe any of the deleted files.

★★☆☆☆ Arnut S. · Aug 6, 2025

No matter what method used (even Protect star ASDA 2017 in Military version with 95% Max Free Space Erase Overwrite, Updated Jul 7,2025 V.7.2), my personal data likes personal pictures, videos still can be recovery back after erased by Ult data App 😵 I used Android mobile POCO C65. Why they still can be recovery???

★☆☆☆☆ Hedi Kortas · Jan 29, 2026

Trash app to be honest everything is paid lol to delete an apk file you have to pay a fee y'all exaggerating I mean keep up the good work but seriously I just wanted to delete an apk file that's taking a lot of space and it's stuck on the device and to just view the file through the shredder app I have to pay lol
