Installed and registered without problems on a Win 8.1.2 Pro 64 bit system.

An US(?) company with address.(*)

Upon start a not needed welcome screen...

Oops, the internal program name is "DiskInternals Flash Recovery" in the version 4.5.0. A quick Google search leads to the real company and shows, that the actual program is a version 5.1

http://www.diskinternals.com/flash-recovery/

Okay, this is a second hand shop, selling the old version from June 2012. Now I understand the welcome screen. It hides the identical DiskInternals interface.

Nothing bad about second hand shops! If the price tag is lower, but it is the same price as the actual version 5.1 of Diskinternals.

Well the second hand shop share the same address as Mareev, Inc.

Should this be a trick to "sell" an old version just under a another name. Okay...

This is a media recovery. It searched and displays only Photo&video.
The interface is clear and understandable, you can create a recovery snapshot, a mountable .ISO for lossless searching. You can do a deep search or a fast one. The program works quick, the results are shown in a good way.

In my test does what it claims. One of the many recovery tools, with an interesting "marketing" construction.

Dear Maarew Inc. programmer. If you spend so much time for a new Internet page, I would spend some minutes too, to rewrite the programs header. LOL

Uninstalled via reboot.

Have a nice weekend!



(*) I do no forensic research on given address...

The week can't be complete without a recovery offering. There are too many both free and paid so I will pass on this. Let me be among the first to suggest this one. It's free and portable here...

and PC Inspector Smart Recovery (flash cards etc.)

It's always useful to try several programs and "deep scan" or even better: backup in time!

I have a question about both the companies Karl reveals... Neither of them are UK companies nor EU companies and as far as I can tell neither are VAT registered in the UK and therefore they are not legally entitled or required to collect/charge VAT(20%) Value Added Tax which is a UK HMRC taxation rate! With Diskinternals research the VAT is added in US$ too and takes the price, once you've removed the auto-added priority support, to $39.95
Mareew add the VAT on top of the $39.95 quoted here and take the charged price to $47.94!!! In UK it is illegal to list prices excluding VAT when the target customer is retail consumer and not a buisiness entity! I smell deception in product and company origin and versioning, pricing and potential if not probable Tax fraud!

Wow! I have to give Karl a lot of credit for his research. Selling an old version under a different name and company? What's up with that?
