Shining Mac Card Data Recovery is specially intended to recover lost data from memory cards. In this respect, the tool supports practically any card brand.
The application has a straightforward interface and a simple workflow. You can start by picking the desired drive. Luckily, it lets you choose one of the two modes: Standard and Deep, which differ both in scan time and accuracy of the results. It is a shame that you cannot set a filter based on file type, which could decrease the time it takes to scan the drive.
When the exploration is over, the results can be browsed in three different ways: by file type, path and time. Moreover, it is possible to preview the contents of some files, mainly images. Finally, you should select the location where you want the rescued files to be saved to, preferably on a different drive.
In general, Shining Mac Card Data Recovery can be the solution when you accidentally lost some files from your memory card. Good news is that it supports retrieving any file type. Good news is that a demo version of the app can be downloaded from its developer’s website.
