It’s a Great App, If you pay for it.

The only thing that makes me mad is they make you go through a lengthy process of importing photos, THEN they tell you that you must upgrade to premium to see your photos 🤦‍♂️

On top of that, it doesn’t say
*INCLUDES IN APP PURCHASES* @devs put that on the apps page and 99% of people will be less annoyed, and you’ll either get minimal downloads, or, A LOT, and A LOT of 5 star reviews

Hi, thanks for your feedback! I agree, we could definitely make it more clear before you import photos that you will have to upgrade. I have added this to our Featurebase as a task for us to tackle: https://encamera.featurebase.app/p/inform-users-that-there-is-a-10-image-limit-before We will get to it soon!

Great app

Great functionality, easy to use, and keeps photos private. Recommend for anyone who cares about privacy

Too expensive

If you want to access your photo, you’ll have to pay a subscription that comes around 2.50$ a month to be able to store your pictures on your phone or on iCloud (that you also need to pay for). It’s way cheaper to use your iPhone photo app hide’s feature

Response from developer

Hi, we’re sorry that you didn’t find enough value in the app! However, you should know that the “photo hide” feature on the photos app does not add extra encryption to the photo, only hides it inside the photos app. Encamera allows you to store media where you want, either in iCloud or on your phone. From the photos app you do not have this level of control. If you’d be interested in a promo discount please email me at alex@encamera.app. I hope we can change your mind about Encamera :)

Great app

Perfect for what I was looking for. An iPadOS version would be nice though too :)

Great and easy to use

Great app if you value privacy and encryption for your photos. Easy to use and reasonably priced

Looks pretty good but where did the photos go?

Tried the app by creating an album and import some photos. It was processing…. But then nothing. No photos anywhere. After killing the app and starting it again it just says the album is locked. Can’t see any photos. Not sure what this is all about but did not work for me.

Hi, thanks for your feedback and sorry you're having trouble. Could you get in touch with me at alex@encamera.app and I can help you from there. Thanks! -Alex

Love the concept

Being able to take private photos right from the Lock Screen is genius

Can’t get past Permissions step

I inadvertently declined microphone access, but after correcting in Settings it won’t proceed past that step. Deleting and reinstalling didn’t help. Edit: Confusing UI but basically can go back to the beginning to get out of the new user workflow.

Response from developer

Thanks for the review! This should be fixed in the latest release 2.0.1. If you have any other problems please email alex@freas.me. -Alex

Actually encrypted and transparent

This app allows me to store my personal photos right to my iCloud Drive or locally on my phone. I love how there’s no weird 3rd party cloud solution and that I can manage where my data goes. It’s the only one I’ve found that’s doing this and in a transparent way.

Thanks for making such a privacy, secure camera!

I was really looking for something that had true local encryption, and without tracking. This app is great for that. I can store everything securely on my phone now, and out of my camera roll 🥳
