Remo Recover for Android is one of the most popular data recovery applications for the Android operating system. It is indeed a program designed to recover files which were deleted or damaged by accident, and should also restore data after the SD card has been formatted.
Files that the program should restore are APK (Android Application Package), music, video, and image files.
To clarify from the beginning – even though the program is for Android, it is installed on a Windows machine, which you connect with your Android device after the successful installation. The program is suitable for both 32 and 64-bit machines.
