This App doesn’t work period.. plse don’t waste ur hard earned money on it
Great app
I really like it though a little pricy but gets the job done.
Odd
This seems no to be no different from the advanced app, not ok. Further, it is missing the app lock feature, the feature I was most interested in.
Wasted money :(
Feel bad that I bought this App, cannot transferable from PC from Wifi Transfers! (Choose file and it’s stuck forever) And No iTunes transfer :( wasted money!
Formerly good, now no Upload from PC
I’ve used multiple versions of Folder Lock over the years and thought earlier versions were great for uploading and securing pc files. Now with latest version on iPhone X and Win10 the app will not upload any files. Tried multiple reinstalls,advanced & advanced pro versions but no success.
Also, the app will connect over WiFi with my browsers, but does not recognize a backup PIN when prompted in the Chrome or Edge browsers. I had to resort to omitting touch/Face ID and use only a password to even get the app to open in a browser.
Time to move on...
(I was able to get the basic Folder Lock app to work appropriately, though ad-saturated. Took a gamble and paid for premium pack, app kept working & ads went away. Too bad I’d paid for the Pro version as well a year or so ago & it’s no good for me now.)

Doesn’t really lock
Because there is NO WAY to turn off the finger print recognition! Which means no matter how strong your password is for folder lock it’s only as strong as the 6 digit pin for your iPad / iPhone. I wish I had known this ahead of time I would have purchased a different app. Sure there is the plausible deniability with a fake pin but that would only work if there was a fake entry mode with a different finger print

Half Features Don’t Work
Half the features in this app don’t even work. Don’t waste your time. Asking for a refund from Apple for this.

Great app!! Love it!
Poor UI, files not encrypted, can't download from PC
I'm a big fan of Folder Lock for Windows, which is the best file encryption software I've found. But this app, and the regular Advanced version, are very disappointing. The UI is confusing and non-intuitive, making it difficult to figure out how to do the simplest operations. I was able to transfer files from my iPad Air 2 to my Windows PC, but could not transfer files from the PC to the iPad -- even after trying every conceivable approach. Although the descriptions for both apps suggest they encrypt files with advanced algorithms, there's no indication they actually do anything more than use the iOS built-in hardware encryption. This is somewhat safe, but my understanding is that someone armed with the unlock password can break it. I have two other apps that layer real 256-bit encryption on files, providing far more security. I paid $3.99 to upgrade the Advanced version, expecting real encryption, but it didn't have it. Then I paid $3.99 for the Pro version, which appears to be identical!

Missing some key functions
Yes, it does store your data and allows for a alpha numerical password. Most app's limit you to only 4 numbers. Good job!
Most data I have entered is via the "wallet". I found out that if you title the card incorrectly or need to change the name of the card you can not edit the title. You can edit the fields but not the name. You have to delete and start over. Need edit function here.
My biggest issue, and the one that makes me start looking for a new tool is the decoy folder. I can not log into the decoy folder, only the primary folder. I was shocked when I logged into the primary folder and found not only my primary files but starring at me were the files from my hidden folders as well. Not cool!
Access to the hidden files should be accessed via a different port or allow me to log into my hidden files via my hidden password. Primary and decoy files should be 100% separate from the phone AND the PC.
Fix this issue and I would rate this application with 5*.
