  • The latest update broke the widget

    This app is great at what it does and I use the widget for hiding and unlocking my app group all the time. However, after this latest update the widget doesn’t work anymore, and instead I have to go into the app every time I want to do hide or unlock my app group. Please fix this, as this has become inconvenient.

    Hello, We have indeed received some similar feedback, and our preliminary assessment suggests that this issue is caused by an iOS bug. Currently, restarting the phone is necessary to resolve it. We would appreciate it if you could help us gather more information about the device by sending an email through the long-press "Contact Development Team" option in the Cape settings. This will assist us in reporting the issue to Apple. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Best regards, The Cape Team
  • good app just one thing

    I love how this app completely hides apps for free and there is a one time payment for added security, but when I lock apps, the apps still shows up in my app library (they won’t load) and I have to relock the apps or turn off my phone to get the apps to disappear. My guess this is a bug/glitch. I hope this could be fixed in the next update

    Developer Response

    Hello, Thank you for your feedback. If you notice that hidden apps are still visible in your app library (but you are unable to open them), this issue is likely due to an iOS bug. We recommend restarting your iPhone and trying again. If the problem persists after these attempts, please go to Cape → Settings → long press "Contact Development Team", send us an email with the log file and describe the situation you encountered. We will use the log to identify the cause of the issue and fix it. Thank you for your understanding. Best regards, The Cape App Team
  • BEST APP FOR KIDS WITH INSANELY STRICT PARE

    Heard about this app from tips on how to hide stuff. My parents are insanely strict and invasive, scouring my phone every night and reading through all my text convos. This app. Is. A. Lifesaver. I would recommend the pro version to anyone who wants peace of mind, (at the time of this review it’s only like $8 and it’s a ONE TIME PURCHASE NOT A SUBSCRIPTION.) The pro version has a lot more app space (5 completely hidden vs 50), and can lock with a passcode. However, my favorite feature is the camo ability. If you’re being forced to open the app in front of others, you can enter in the decoy password instead of the real one and the app becomes a note app. It makes it just look like a password protected note app and you can even change the app icon to look like a notebook. The BEST thing that I use this app for isn’t even an advertised feature. I call it my panic button. In shortcuts you can make a fake app cover (tutorials on how to do this are online), and mine functions as an app I can press that instantly hides certain app groups. All in all, this app has saved me literally more times than I can count and I would recommend it to any kid with insanely restrictive parents

  • Love it

    This app is incredible for hide things from your parents, the only thing I don’t like it’s the re-ordering of the apps in iPad os so if the developers see this I will love if you guys try to quit that

    I buy the pro version and I love it it’s just this detail

    Thanks
  • Aidan

    I made a review over this app before and almost immediately my issue was handled, but for the past couple of days my apps have been failing to disappear when I push hide. I have also noticed that once I push hide my notifications are no longer silenced, before I would be able to push the hide button and have my apps hidden and my notifications for those apps silenced. I’ve been using this app for a long time and want to continue using this app. If the creators see this please fix.

    Developer Response

    Hi, if you are getting notifications from hidden apps, this is caused by an iOS bug, please restart your iPhone. If the problem still occurs, please reproduce the issue and long press "Contact Development Team" in the settings, send us an email with the log file and describe the issue, and we will investigate.
  • Amazing

    This is a must have app if you want some app privacy. At $8 it’s extremely affordable for the pro version, 1 x purchase, and the free version is great too. I hope they add vaults in the future so I can add pics, phone numbers, and notes and it will be perfect.
  • Insanely good

    I use this app a lot to hide stuff from my mom, since she’s terrifying. I wish the password of the notes app was free, but beggars can’t be choosers. I might pay for it in the future, who knows. I just wish it’d be able to hide apps from screen time, as in if my mom has a restriction on how much I can use my phone. I don’t know how that would be possible, but I think it’d be cool. 10/10 app though
