No longer works

Used to be great now it just crashes when trying to load

The creators of this app never respond to emails. Terrible customer service

Doesn’t work!!!

They claim that the time can’t be tampered with. If you change the time in the iPhone settings it effects the time on the app, hence tampered with. Due to this, the app is absolutely useless and a waste of $10.

Response from developer

Dear Customer, This app uses NTP to verify your local time to prevent people from get item unlocked earlier by changing the local time to a future date. You can easily verify this by creating a locker and then going to your system settings to change to a future date, and if you come back to the app, you will see “system time is not matched” warnings under your new created locker, you can not unlock them unless the system time has been changed back and the schedule unlock time has been reached. Hopes this explanation can solve your concern. Regards

Simple and elegant solution

Easy to navigate interface and perfect functionality for the intended purpose. I appreciate the ability to take photos within the app and not have to mess with photos outside of the app.

Just doesn’t work

I have an updated iPhone 6. This app has to connect to the internet before it does anything; “anything” meaning EVERY time you look at it; however, it “can not connect to the internet” because it doesn’t work, even though there is Wi-fi and mobile data available and enabled. So, as a result, you cannot create a new timelock without several faffs of opening and closing or retrieve an old one if you have managed to create one in the first place.
I have emailed the makers three times but to no response.
It’s completely unreliable, frustrating and expensive, don’t waste your money.

Five stars

Excellent idea, functions as described.

Great Upgrade

The upgrade to this app is very good. Over the past several months the app wasn't working well with recent operating system upgrades. I like having the ability to extend the time on it but are should be taken since an inadvertent tap can cause the extension of time to be added, and that can't be undone. Imagine being locked up several intervals longer because someone -- intentionally or by mistake -- taps on the extension bar. There should be a confirmation selection before the extension is applied.
I still give this 5 stars though, because it is absolutely unique. There are no other apps that can take a photo of a combination lock and hold it for the prescribed time (now extendable), and give it to you at the end of the time period. I'm amazed more people haven't found it.

Works as advertised and works well

Before this latest update this was a 1 star app in my book. That was due to major bugs.

But this is no longer the case. The developer has fixed the bugs and I just tested it myself.

The app works great now.

Needs an update, buggy!

Overall, it's ok. The passcode unlock option is supposed to be a permanent decision for each pic, but when I close and reopen the app, I am able to reverse that decision. Also, when I try to leave feedback, the program crashes. Also, I'm supposed to read I help manual that apparently does not exist.
