### 1/5 — Impossible to use if you forgot your password

*2026-08-19, version 3.4.12*

Literally there’s no way to reset or access or photos if you forgot your password I have research and there’s several people commenting on YouTube videos also complaining about the same issue. What pointless app

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-08-16*

Just a question i had accidentally deleted from my photos and trash of the app if i take the premium will i be able to get the recover of the ones deleted from the trash

**Developer response:** Unfortunately, if the photos have already been permanently deleted from the app’s Trash folder, upgrading to Premium will not recover them. Once data is deleted from the Trash, there is no recovery option available. Premium cannot restore permanently deleted data.

However, you can purchase the Premium subscription so that going forward, you can sync your data to the cloud and keep a backup, which will help prevent data loss in the future.
Thank you, Calculator# Team.

### 5/5 — App login

*2026-08-14, version 3.4.12*

I forgot how to use the app to log in, and I may need to reset my password. Is there someone who can help me get back into the app?

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2026-08-14, version 3.4.12*

Makes you watch like 10 minutes of advertisement’s every time you open the app before you can access your own pictures.  Do not get this!

### 5/5 — Password recovery

*2026-08-08, version 3.4.12*

I love this app but 
Please tell me how to recover my password!

### 1/5 — Bad App

*2026-08-07, version 3.4.12*

Can’t get into account after uninstalling the app, won’t send email.

### 3/5 — It’s ok

*2026-08-05, version 3.4.12*

The free version runs ads so constantly you have to buy the subscription just to be able to view photos. Very annoying, but bought the sub and it’s fine now. Updated to 3 stars because you shouldn’t be forced into buying the sub from the free being so bad. Just make it subscription only

### 1/5 — App just stopped working

*2026-08-05, version 3.4.12*

Lost my files because the app just stopped working

### 5/5 — Help

*2026-08-04, version 3.4.12*

I forgot my password

### 2/5 — No import possible

*2026-08-04, version 3.4.12*

Cannot import photos into a new folder so, unless I get some reassurance and instructions, I won’t be using this app much longer.
