First, we test the management functions. On the one hand, it has multiple features for contacts and bookmarks. We can easily manage them on the computer, including editing, deleting, adding, and more. Powerfully, it supports to group our contacts. We can freely create and remove contact groups.

However, on the other hand, there are fewer functions for managing some data types. For instance, we can only export and refresh music, SMS, and videos.

Next, we test the scanning speed with our iPhone and iPad. It can scan most file types fast, even the large videos, although it scans text messages slightly slower.

Finally, we test its compatibility. It can work with all iOS devices that we tested, and load their files normally. However, as it introduces, it cannot detect or transfer notes on iOS 10 and upper. By the way, we exactly got a free license on its website. Thus, we can use it without payment for a whole year.
