Comments on iShredder: Secure Data Eraser for Android

★★★★★ 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.
★★★★★ Antoni Sitkowski · Oct 17, 2026
Message to developers canyon please restore my military subscription please?* ive had it for well over 5 years now... so why does it disappear??? I want it restored. And I've readcreviews other people have had the same liken...I paid twice for this, military subscription when I was refunded for one if them.wheh I tried to restore it it just made me buy it again they refunded one. But I want my original one that I purchased. Please restore this for me. There's no customer service for this
★★★★★ 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.
★☆☆☆☆ Jjjkkklll · Jun 5, 2026
I couldn't do anything useful in frre version. Is just a bait. Ask to upgrade aka pay
★☆☆☆☆ 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
★☆☆☆☆ 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.
★★☆☆☆ TommoLB · Mar 18, 2026
Seems to work OK sometimes. However. When doing some wipes it will get stuck at say 2% for a minute, then jump to 100% for that pass. Makes me wonder if it did its job. Using it to clear an old phone prior to disposal, so will be testing for photo recovery shortly after to see if it really works for not and will report back. Update : app fails to delete all photos. About 7 were recoverable, despite being only stored in the normal album and nowhere else.

Description by Protectstar Inc. Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
Securely delete the photos and files you no longer want on your Android phone. iShredder is a data eraser and file shredder that puts you in control: choose sensitive documents, private pictures, videos or folders, then select an overwrite method. You can also wipe unused storage to help reduce accessible traces of files you deleted earlier.

KEEP YOUR PHONE. CHOOSE WHAT TO ERASE.
An ID scan sent for an application, a downloaded bank statement or a private video may no longer belong on your phone. Use iShredder to select those files while keeping the content you still need.

FIND FILES WITH THE BUILT-IN EXPLORER
Browse accessible storage and choose photos, videos, PDFs, downloads and folders. Check file names and locations before starting, especially when a folder contains both important originals and unwanted copies. Supported internal storage and SD cards can be processed within the access your Android device allows.

ADDRESS FILES YOU ALREADY DELETED
File deletion and an unused-space wipe do different jobs. The wipe writes temporary data into available storage to help reduce accessible remnants of earlier files. Choose it when sensitive content has already been removed and you want to process unused storage where traces may remain.
Available space temporarily decreases during this operation. Let the process finish and check the result. This function protects privacy; it does not increase your phone's storage capacity. If interrupted, review the operation's status and cleanup instructions.

CHOOSE HOW TO OVERWRITE
Methods vary by edition and include single-pass and multi-pass options, with choices such as DoD 5220.22-M. Match the method to your task and storage. Processing time depends on the amount of data and the number of passes. More passes do not automatically deliver a better result on every device. Confirm the selected targets before you start.

KEEP AN ERASURE RECORD
Reporting options in supported editions document completed operations. Save a report for a device handover, a shared phone, a work checklist or your personal records. It describes the selected process and helps you keep track of what you did.

USEFUL BETWEEN DEVICE UPGRADES
• Delete temporary ID copies after an application is complete.
• Remove private photos, videos and confidential downloads you no longer need.
• Erase accessible work files after a project, following your employer's policy.
• Select sensitive documents for deletion before repair, lending or trade-in.
• Process unused storage after removing confidential content when appropriate.

GET STARTED IN THREE STEPS
1. Back up what you want to keep and select files, folders or unused storage.
2. Choose an available method and review the scope.
3. Start the operation, check the result and save a report where supported.

CHOOSE FEATURES FOR YOUR NEEDS
Additional methods and reporting options vary by edition. Some features require an in-app purchase or subscription. Check included functions, billing periods and renewal terms before purchasing. Choose tools for the files you handle, from personal documents to recurring handovers of shared devices.

APP SECURITY AND RECOGNITION
The March 2026 DEKRA MASA L1 validation assessed iShredder Android 7.2.3 against selected OWASP MASVS app-security requirements. Separately, iShredder received the Fortress Cybersecurity Award 2025.

ANDROID STORAGE AND PRIVACY
Access and results depend on permissions, encryption, flash storage and device support. An app cannot guarantee access to every physical flash cell or other apps' private data. Manage cloud backups and other copies separately. For a full device handover, also follow the manufacturer's account-removal and factory-reset instructions. Read Google Play Data Safety and Protectstar's privacy policy for data-handling details.
