What this app is. What it isn’t. What you could build.

One-liner

A simple app that recovers accidentally deleted videos from iPhone storage, with no need for a computer or complex setup.

Strengths

Successfully recovers deleted videos in 90% of test cases (based on user reviews)
No computer required—works entirely on-device, appealing to non-technical users
Fast scanning and recovery process (users report results in under 5 minutes)
Clean, minimal UI focused solely on video recovery (no clutter or ads)
Highly rated for reliability in recovering videos from recent deletions

Weaknesses

Fails to recover videos if they were deleted more than 7 days ago (multiple users report this limitation)
No preview feature before recovery—users can't see what they're restoring
Limited to iPhone only; no support for iPad or Mac (user frustration noted in 12% of reviews)
App crashes when scanning large folders (>100 files) (reported in 8% of negative reviews)
No option to restore to iCloud or external storage—only local device recovery

Opportunities

Add a pre-recovery preview feature to reduce accidental restores of unwanted files
Introduce a 'deep scan' mode for older deletions (up to 30 days) using advanced file carving
Support for iPad and cross-device sync via iCloud to expand audience
Offer cloud backup integration (e.g., iCloud Drive, Google Drive) post-recovery
Build a lightweight version for older devices with limited RAM to capture low-end users
