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 ### 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. ### 4/5 — Please fix *2026-08-03, version 3.4.12* I can’t seem to add photos after I already added my first ones great app though ### 3/5 — Ads every 5 seconds *2026-08-03, version 3.4.12* Works well but there are so many ads ### 3/5 — Great, but could use this *2026-07-31, version 3.4.12* It’s a great app for hiding stuff but it could use being able to acc do math. It’s a bit sus if you click and the shi don’t do nothing. So that’d be an amazing improvement and would make it perfect ### 4/5 — Help *2026-07-30, version 3.4.12* How do I get back my photos if I accidentally deleted the app ### 2/5 — Adds Impeding Utilization on Android *2026-07-30, version 3.4.12* I recommended this app to someone I know who’s currently in a DV situation. She was totally unable to utilize the app due to near constant and misleading ads telling her there are file errors and taking her to the Google play store. In 10 mins she was unable to upload a single photo. I purchased this for myself years ago and I’m not sure if there was a flat rate to remove ads, but I have never had this issue on iOS. The excessive ads on android are shameful and defeat the purpose of downloading it. ### 2/5 — More info *2026-07-24, version 3.4.11* Why can’t I add more videos. But I’m charged for this app and can’t input any more videos ### 3/5 — Stopped Uploading *2026-07-22, version 3.4.11* The app stopped uploading videos all of a sudden. It will upload pictures but not videos. Not sure what's wrong with it ### 4/5 — Great app but needing assistance *2026-07-21, version 3.4.11* I’ve been having an issue where I’m unable to view some items from my gallery. Would like some help with this problem ### 3/5 — Worried *2026-07-20, version 3.4.11* For some reason I’ve uninstalled the app. Later I’ve installed it but I can’t see any data of mine. Is there any way to access my data. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 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! ### 1/5 — Bad App *2026-08-07, version 3.4.12* Can’t get into account after uninstalling the app, won’t send email. ### 1/5 — App just stopped working *2026-08-05, version 3.4.12* Lost my files because the app just stopped working ### 1/5 — I used to like this *2026-08-02, version 3.4.12* The app used to be great, but now when I go to view my photos or videos I get nonstop ads and can’t clear them so I constantly have to exit and re-enter the app. Extremely annoying ### 1/5 — Forgotten password *2026-08-01, version 3.4.12* I had gotten this app a few years back, I know I had some important photos only on this app so I redownloaded it but forgot my password and can’t seem to get an option to recover or make a new password I am very upset ### 1/5 — Annoyedddd!!!! *2026-07-30, version 3.4.12* I accidentally deleted the whole app on my phone and now I can even access back to my old photos I lost everything. The moment I downloaded it again it rested like a first time user… ### 1/5 — Can’t get my videos and pictures back *2026-07-30, version 3.4.12* My phone had to reset and I saved my pics and videos to their “cloud”. When I go to check none of my stuff are saved and customer service is a joke. No number to call, no nothing ### 1/5 — Do Not Update Until This Is Fixed *2026-07-28, version 3.4.11* I paid for the full version of this app because it worked exactly as advertised. At the time, it simply used a calculator style password to protect my private photos and videos. After updating, the app completely changed its security system by introducing iCloud and other sign in options. Once the update was installed, everything I had stored was gone. Whether this was caused by the update or a migration issue, the result was the same, I lost access to all of my important files. There was no clear warning that updating could affect existing data, and I feel like I wasted my money paying for the premium version. I cannot recommend paying for this app if your photos and videos are important to you. Until the developers fix this issue and provide a reliable way to recover files after updating, I would strongly advise backing up your data or avoiding the app altogether. ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-07-20, version 3.4.11* Plays adds constantly ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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? ### 5/5 — Password recovery *2026-08-08, version 3.4.12* I love this app but Please tell me how to recover my password! ### 5/5 — Help *2026-08-04, version 3.4.12* I forgot my password ### 5/5 — Too many ads 😭 *2026-08-02, version 3.4.12* Love this app! But there is just way too many ads I can’t even go 5 seconds without an ad popping up. Other than that 5 ⭐️ ### 5/5 — I have a problem. *2026-08-02, version 3.4.12* This app is really great and helpful and it works as a calculator when I need it but I hid a video that’s 1.19 gb and I can’t open it idk if it’s a size issue or what but I need help ### 5/5 — Forgot how to get in *2026-08-02, version 3.4.12* I set it so that it looks broken but I forgot how to get past it. Any help? ### 5/5 — ... *2026-07-25, version 3.4.11* ᴋᴇᴘᴛ ᴍʏ ᴀᴏ3 ʜɪᴅᴅᴇɴ ᴀʟʟ ᴛʜᴀᴛ ᴍᴀᴛᴛᴇʀs ᴛᴏ ᴍᴇ (𓂂꜆◕⩊◕꜀𓂂) ### 5/5 — Hep Needed *2026-07-21, version 3.4.11* For some reason the # seems to have disappeared on the Home Screen to then continue as normal so I can access my app. Is there some way of resetting this so I can access the app?
