ADS

Notice that any good reviews are from years ago - the ads have become so atrocious that I actually felt compelled to come and give them a negative review. You literally cannot open a picture without getting an ad, but specifically the sketchy kind that take up your whole screen and have those hidden close buttons and glitch like crazy (one even continued playing audio after I closed it). It’s genuinely unusable unless you upgrade. Uninstalled, and extremely whack. Don’t respond to my review with some nonsense either just take this L with some kind of dignity (if y’all have any).

Used to be awesome now hidden behind paywalls. Greedy devs.

I’ve had this app for years and it worked great..that is until this year when they updated the app to include tons of ads. Now, you can no longer access the app until you pay for a monthly or yearly sub. As of now even if you watch an ad and you login, it makes you pay if you want to use the ad at all. You will get a merry Christmas if a “deal” to subscribe. If you don’t, then you don’t get to use the app. This isn’t even a live service, as the content you want to hide are still on your iPad, it is just hidden within an app. The app creator here just became greedy. Go search elsewhere for these kinds of apps. They just waited to garner enough positive feedback with a free model and then bombard you with ads and not a pay or don’t model. Stay way from this app!

Dear user, please remember this is a free application and you can enjoy some useful features. The push you received is just a promotion message. You can choose to click the ”X" to close it. Any problems and details are appreciated via galleryvaultvip@thinkyeah.com.

This app was free for years

I opened the app to see some old videos and now there charging to see them, i ended up deleting because they charge now and ive lost years of videos and photos! Horrible app.

What happened to the free version?

Locked out of pictures with no warning. Only option is to pay for subscription. Ironic that the subscription screen is a picture of a turkey!
I had decided to par for a Pro sub, but not now this stupid app has effectively blackmailed me to get my photos back. I won’t give in to blackmailers.
Unethical.
Useless.

Charges Without Warning

This “free” app changed to a pay for subscription service without warning, essentially keeping your photos hostage until you’re willing to pay. Do not get this app. There are several free apps with similar services

DO NOT USE

I’ve used this app for years and it’s worked very well until they got greedy! DO NOT UPDATE THIS APP. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS APP!! The developer has gotten greedy. They are now holding you in a captive purchase screen! Every time you open or do anything in the app a new ad pops up. Even switching between folders pops up a new ad. They hide this by saying “Optimize UI and fix some bugs.” And “Finally, Dark Mode is here”. I am currently looking for a new app as I don’t put up with ads or subscriptions.

Do not waste your time

Everytime you try to use it, the application will give you a minute long ad and its not acceptable!

Great app

Been using it for awhile now and it’s been good but i am having some issues where you can no longer pinch to zoom on live photos anymore which is some what inconvenient. Still a good app.

Nice little app

Helps keep private stuff private. Been using for years - amazing app.
