After losing all my data on my iPhone 7, due to an encrypted backup in which I didn't not set an encryption key, I cried for days having lost 25,000 photos, all my contacts, voice memos, notes, etc. I reread the Reincubate article. I had read it the first night, but by this time I became desperate enough to reach out. They were able to work with me to recover the password and I was able to restore my data! I have never been so happy in my entire life. I highly recommend Reincubate! It's been 5 days and I still can't stop smiling.

I lost 10 years of some incredibly important and emotionally significant info when I changed over from an iPhone 11 to a 13Pro and the app that I had been using all these years suddenly disappeared and was nowhere to be found. Contacting Apple was a TOTAL waste of time as they neither took responsibility nor offered any help. I saw the Reincubate program advertised when trying to find a way to get the data back; got the program and was able to extract a back up from my computer but could not get the files to open in any readable format. Contacted the team at Reincubate with little expectation that anything could be done and man oh man, apparently EVERYTHING could be done! They were so exceedingly nice, cheerful, kind, and patient; always responded so promptly and personably that it honestly kind of blew my mind. Several times ;-) Needless to say, I am thrilled .... and... they are SIMPLY AWESOME.
