Leave a Review Private Photo Vault
I love this app so much!!!
I literally have all of my pictures and videos in this. It’s a very secure app. You can have your Face ID, or a password for it so no one can get in it if you really like privacy. Also, if you have an iPhone 8 or an iPhone with a home button (which I had last year), you can have your fingerprint on it. You can organize everything so you know where to find certain things. You can have a bunch of Albums for everything you can think of, you can title them so you know what they are, and you can move everything around in the Albums so they are fully organized. You can also lock certain Albums if you don’t want just anyone to look at them. Like I said before, I have all my photos and videos in it. It works super well, and it’s very secure. I love the face that people make when they go to photos to look through to see what I have and it says “No photos or videos.” It’s so funny. It’s definitely worth downloading. I recommend it.Show lessBrynleigh22

Thank you very much for your feedback, we really appreciate it!Photo Vault
I would recommend this app for the individual who is constantly taking pics with their cell phone and do not have enough space on the cell to store all of those cherisible memories. I myself am an amateur photographer and digital artist and of course selfies! I have lots of storage on my cell but use several social apps emails and my little sweetie Kitty Bitty. She is a young female cat who’s owner passed away last year. I took over his apartment and Kitty Bitty needed to be taken care of. Photo Vault has given me the opportunity to save many memories that I would have had to delete. I am far from a techy kinda of guy and always looking for a pic and videos that someone wants to view or I want to do additional editing on the many editing apps I have. Photo Vault thank you for making my life easier that sometimes gets frantic. To all get the app you ask yourself how did I survive without Photo Vault
Thanks for listening

Perfect but
Everything is really really good. I use it all the time. Sometimes there is a bug where it randomly opens the music app. The issue might have been resolved already. Also, I organize my photos in a specific order within each folder. I know it is possible to move photos between other photos for organization if I hold down on the photo for a second and move it. I wish there was a way I could select multiple photos and do the same thing in the order i chose them in. That way I don’t have to go individually photo for photo and take a while to do it. But other than that, honestly, the app is great. Yes, sometimes there are ads. But it really isn’t that annoying.Show lessBosmal
Cloud sync no longer works
I have used this app and subscribed to its premium features for more than a year. Loved the app and the syncing across iOS devices until cloud syncing stoped working. New media will not sync to cloud because of a “cloud storage at maximum capacity” error message. You are then prompted to email the app developer to request more cloud storage. I have done this and was told that my cloud storage has been upgraded to 150GB. Despite this, the cloud sync still does not work. It doesn’t matter if my cloud storage is at 20MB or 10GB, trying to sync anything new will not be successful. This is very disappointing, considering I am paying for this service. To add to the frustration, attempts to contact technical support have been futile, with support only responding (days later) with “have you updated the app” and “we’ll forward your concerns to our developer team”.
Don’t wast your money on the premium features, which currently are not working.Show lessJwolf138
Great photo organizer!
Security works very well, as does the built-in browser. You can not only set up passwords for the app but individual photo collections as well. And if someone uses a wrong password it opens to a decoy version of the app.
Easy to organize and to customize my photo files. My favorites function is very handy. The built in slide show function is my favorite and most often used, I would like more functionality but for free it is very very good. Like maybe the ability to select multiple files for slide shows. Maybe a favorites function for whole files. And gifs, you can collect gifs I love that you can save playable GIFs. The slide transition isn’t keyed in the the GIFs duration time but you can adjust the slide duration and they play within a given slideshow time setting. So longer Gifs May play once or more and short gifs will play multiple times in the longer time frames. Great app!Show lessJoe Lee 2814

Thank you very much for your kind words! We really appreciate it!!CLOUD VAULT IS A SCAM
Do not subscribe or use the cloud vault. I have trusted this app to store over 5,000 photos that I value highly. The app itself works great. I subscribed to premium and used the cloud vault, and now the photos are impossible to get back. It says they need to be downloaded from the cloud to view, but it stays “syncing” forever and never downloads. When I go into the cloud vault, it tells me something went wrong and they are “working to restore the cloud vault”. I am afraid I will never be able to get them back now. They only provide one way to contact customer support, which is to “submit a ticket”. I’ve submitted over 3 and gotten zero response. To make matters even worse, they have somehow caused my account to be subscribed to their annual premium plan AND their monthly premium plan. Over $100 dollars for photos I cannot access, and again, no way to get in contact with them. Unless I’m able to get my pictures recovered or some sort of response or explanation, I can’t help but believe this is a scam.Show lesswt30000003
Good App Overall
This is a good app, but could be improved. I'd like to see a sync between the app on different devices. When getting a new device, such as a new iPad, one has to start over, I have not been able to move from the old one to the new with success! Also, as a backup it is awkward, so I do not see it as truly viable for that purpose at this time. There seems to be a hiccup for certain larger images. For example, I have some and when sending or putting back into Photo as a group, the program freezes unless one figures out which is the problematic image and goes one at a time through the group. I see the app's main value as ordinary privacy on each device; I have it on four. It's pretty good for that. I also use it to store things to show others, but wish to avoid wading through thousands of files in Photo. I also like the secure folder within the app for things "more private" or intended to be kept more secure. The photo editing program within the app is excellent. I use that and then send the edited photo to Photo or iPhoto in some cases to preserve the original in both Photo and the app. It's really good for this. JHCShow lessDrJHC
Very good storage. Good import & export. VERY GOOD folder system.
The app has GOOD FOLDERS, and keeps GIGS of photos in those folders without losing any of them. Putting on computer using the local app website address is easy & well-automated, but transfers as INDIVIDUAL folders in Zip Format. Devs, please incorporate a Transfer All Folders button if possible. Before this latest update, transferring pictures into the app put them in random order. I had to transfer pictures that in chunks to keep them in some kind of order. This HAS BEEN FIXED in this latest update. The app gives you the option of deleting pictures off the PHONE as they are transferred INTO the app BUT DOES NOT when transferring BACK to the phone. They CAN be easily deleted manually off the app with one or two steps. Another suggestion for devs. Previous versions allowed me to select photos and the select would automatically scroll down if I dragged down. Currently I can ONLY select a set of photos one screen's worth at a time (approx. 28). With over 400 photos per folder, that takes a while with no scrolling. Devs, PLEASE incorporate BOTH scrolling AND importing pictures in the same order they appeared in the phone.Show lessPaul Macintosh

Hi, thank you for your feedback, we really appreciate it. We are going to forward your suggestions to our developer team so they can have them in consideration for future app updates.Free version is unusable; not functional enough to pay for
The free option isn’t really an option. After a week of false security, the app gives you an ad about once every 60-90 seconds. The ads are full-screen, have loud sound, require two clicks to exit, and last 15-30 seconds. Perhaps even worse, the ads are so cumbersome that even the app can’t handle them: they make the app buggy (e.g., repeatedly pausing videos you’re playing within the app) or freeze it entirely.
When it is working, the app has some good features, like the ability to move selected photos out of one folder and into another with one click (which you can’t even do in iPhoto). But it’s missing enough basic functions (e.g., the ability to have folders within folders, or to sort folder order) that I couldn’t justify paying for it.Show lessCameron Meyer Shorb
Great but…
Update: Developer pointed out that I could turn this option off in settings. I thought I checked for an option but I somehow missed it. Thank you. I’ve updated my stars as promised. 🙃

When you get rid of the annoying “recommended for you” banner at the top, I’ll up my rating to 5 stars They’re MY photos…I don’t need you to recommend my own photos in a big banner. 🤷♀️ It’s very annoying. I have had this app a long time and love it. So easy to organize photos. I wish there were a way to turn off the passcode requirement to open the app. I just like the organization. I don’t need the secrecy. I know that’s the point of the app, but I’d like the option to skip that.Show lessLaall
