### 1/5 — This sucks

*2026-07-22*

Looked all of my app and can’t un download it do not buy

### 3/5 — Pretty good, but why money?

*2026-06-12*

I understand about the coding and stuff, but do you seriously need to have money add ons like premium? I see no point. I'm using this for privacy, and I am restricted with the amount of apps I can lock. I rather just have adds then money.

### 1/5 — DO NOT DOWNLOAD

*2026-04-20*

This app is honestly really bad It basically forces you into a subscription without clearly EXPLAINING ✌️it first, and once you’re in, it feels impossible to use anything without paying. The worst part is that it holds your photos and data inside the app and won’t fully let you access or manage them unless you subscribe like are we stupid hello💔. That’s not okay. A frickin app should never make users feel trapped or pressured into paying just to get their own stuff back. I wouldn’t recommend this at all. LIKE AT ALL this app is a fricken chud

### 1/5 — Daten löschung

### 1/5 — Rough

*2026-02-25*

Very glitchy moves pics around randomly replaces them with others

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2026-02-15, version 1.3.8*

Useless

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-01-26, version 1.3.8*

Could be better on code word

### 1/5 — No Recovery

*2026-01-08*

I got the app and I’ve entered every possible password I can remember but there doesn’t seem to be a way to reset my password and I’ve not gotten any help from anyone on staff.
