I sent an email 2 months ago but no one replied and it still hasn’t been fixed. If you are not going to fix it again, please bring back the previous version. We can’t fast-forward the videos. Also, please add the 5-seconds back and 15-seconds forward buttons, just like on Android. ### 1/5 — Çok kötü *2026-03-26, version 1.3.3* Hiçbir şekilde artık uygulamayı kullanamıyorum reklam çıkıyor reklamı atlatamıyorum oradaki çarpı işaretine basıyorum saatlerce bekliyor ama uygulamayı kullanamıyorum bu kadar saçma sapan bir uygulama görmedim hayatımda bir iş yapacaksanız doğru düzgün yapın ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2026-03-20, version 1.3.3* I can’t open my folder even its a full of adds and hang on it even I can’t skip it Very much disappointed and frustrated ### 2/5 — Please Help *2026-03-10, version 1.3.3* How i recover All data after delete applock and reinstall applock please help i pay any amount if any one help to recover my data ### 2/5 — عفواً أريد استرجاع صور قديمه كانت معي في التطبيق وبعدها فقدت النقال *2026-03-02, version 1.3.3* هل هناك علاج للموضوع ### 1/5 — Deixou a desejar *2026-02-19, version 1.3.3* Aplicativo só dá erro em salvar fotos deixa a desejar ### 2/5 — No no no *2026-02-19, version 1.3.3* Con la actualización los videos no se pueden adelantar o atrasar y es un fastidio ### 2/5 — Acilllll *2026-02-16, version 1.3.3* Şifremi unuttum ve hiç bir şekilde yardımcı etmenler yok şifrem yenileme unuttum tarzında bana yardımcı olur musunuz içinde yeğenimin fotoğrafları vardı ### 1/5 — Como recuperar cuenta *2026-02-16, version 1.3.3* No me deja recuperar mi cuenta anterior ### 1/5 — سيئ *2026-02-12, version 1.3.3* كل بياناتي اختفت وانتهت نهاىي للاسف صور ومقاطع خاصه لها سنوات طويله اختفت نهائي بسبب هذا التطبيق المريض لا انصح احد به تبداً ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No tengo mis fotos *2026-06-10, version 1.3.5* No puedo entrar al gmail con el que había entrado antes, no sale una opcion ### 1/5 — Backup *2026-05-27, version 1.3.3* Tentei faser o backup de outro iPhone, no meu iPhone 13, mesmo icloud e o applock nem da a opção de restaurar ou sw quer logar, tenho que fazer uma nova conta, eu uso o mesmo icloud e tenho a senha do antigo ### 1/5 — Yardım *2026-05-25, version 1.3.3* Telefonumu değiştirdim ve indirdiğimde hiç bir fotoğrafım yoktu nasıl geri getireceğim ### 1/5 — Mala *2026-05-16, version 1.3.3* Es una basura de aplicación, solo muestra publicaciones y publicidad de Temu ### 1/5 — Ta bugado *2026-04-29, version 1.3.3* Nao aparece app nenhum função nenhum de bloqueio so uma pasta vazia quando abro esse aplicativo ### 1/5 — Rezalet *2026-04-27, version 1.3.3* Uygulamaya resim yükledim içine girmek için bir takla atmadığımız kaldı resime ulaşmak için video çıkıyor inirsende indirmesende içeri girmiyor tek kelime rezalet ### 1/5 — Worst performance *2026-04-26, version 1.3.3* Dear I phone users please don’t download this app when I use this app I found so many bugs and logs specially advertisements it’s too long and not be closed options.
