After all, development does come with costs. ### 4/5 — Things I dislike and like *2025-08-12* I dislike that you have to pay for somethings I like that it hide apps **Developer response:** If every feature were free, how could we recover our investment in developing this product, including manpower, servers, and other resources? On top of that, our free features don’t contain any ads and generate no revenue at all. So if you think we’re doing a good job, please consider upgrading to a membership; otherwise, how could we continue providing even better features? What do you think? ### 5/5 — 5stars *2025-08-02* amazing!! **Developer response:** Thank you.

Learn proper English before coming back, okay? Very ‘bed’?” ### 1/5 — Never let’s you get rid of it -5/10 *2024-04-01, version 1.3.0* When I downloaded this app I was trying to hide just one app but then when I found out that the basic function on the app ( being a calculator) wasn’t there I tryed to delete it it would not let me I tryed to go to the App Store was not even on my App Library I had to go to the app settings and remove all of the power it had -5/10 tryed hacking my phone ### 2/5 — That’s expensive *2025-08-04* I like how you have to access with a code but I don’t want to pay to hide my apps it’s suspicious because the app itself isn’t well hidden **Developer response:** By upgrading to the premium version, the app itself can be disguised as a real calculator. When others open it, it functions just like a normal calculator and even allows you to customize its color and style. But when you enter your password within the calculator, you can access the actual app lock or view your hidden apps. ### 3/5 — When I try and block apps it doesn’t hide them *2026-08-16, version 1.3.8* I’ve been trying to hide one of my apps but when I press block it still appears on my Home Screen. I may just be doing something wrong but if not, I wouldn’t recommend ### 3/5 — Requires premium for many of the features. *2025-01-14, version 1.3.8* If you want to to turn the app into a calculator, you need to get premium for it which seems very unnecessary to me since it's one of the app's main functions. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best app *2026-07-20, version 1.3.8* This app is soooooo cool I search for how to hide my apps everywhere and finally I found it ### 5/5 — 好用 *2026-07-18, version 1.3.8* 客服回应很快 态度好 推荐 ### 5/5 — Maria *2026-05-08, version 1.3.8* It is an amazing app ### 5/5 — Mr puzzles here! *2026-05-05, version 1.3.8* Such an excellent app!
