Crashes with new iOS. I want my money back! ### 1/5 — Odio esta aplicación! *2013-12-29, version 1.3.0* esta aplicación es malo! Ni siquiera podía configurar una contraseña. cada vez que me gustaría probar que me daría un mensaje y no me dejó salir de ella. no malgastes tu dinero en esto! ### 1/5 — Upset *2013-12-17* It worked good for a year and I had a lot of pics in there and now it won't let me back in its telling me to set up a password and it won't let me I'm more upset about loosing my pics now ### 1/5 — Won't work *2013-11-30* Man!! This app Won't even open it keeps crashing! Do not buy this!! ### 1/5 — Can't access after restoring *2013-11-28* My pictures are backed up to the cloud but when I launch the app it tells me to put in a password followed by an error and pressing ok does nothing it just keeps popping up saying incorrect password. Don't know what to do. Can't access any of my photos ### 1/5 — Does not work *2013-11-16* I paid and downloaded this app. It wouldn't let me make my initial password so hence couldn't use the app(tried re downloading it and still didn't work)- waste of money.... ### 1/5 — Upset *2013-11-16* I loved the app up until i got on it one day and now everything i get on it, it tells me to put in my password and then before i can put in my password it says error please put in passwork. Please fix. Ill give 5 stars if fixed ### 1/5 — Waste of money!!! *2013-10-29* Won't let me input a password. Each time I try it gives me an error message. DO NOT WASTE YOURE MONEY DOWNLOADING THIS APP!!! ### 1/5 — Does not work *2013-10-26* The app opens and then cycles between a message saying to set it up and an error message. It will not allow you to go further. Either a bug or a scam app. Either way a waste of money. ### 1/5 — Great Idea But.... *2013-10-07* After installation, it just toggles between two command windows: input password, OK. When you press OK, another window appears saying: Error, input password. OK. You press OK, and the first window appears, and so on ad infinitum. You can't actually access the keypad to punch in your password. Tried the usual reinstall, reboot, but no success. Please fix, thanks. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work! *2013-09-28* I would not rate this app even 1 star! Has a glitch that does not even allow me to enter a password to begin with so I can't get any further into using the app. ### 1/5 — Kmt *2013-05-28* Does not shake !! Poor app ### 2/5 — No video hiding *2013-05-18* Not worth it because will not hide videos and no way to select what you want to hide if it can't see it. ### 1/5 — Not good *2013-04-20* Wish I didn't waste my 99 cents on this. I thought it moved the files but it just copies the photos into private but they are still visible from my gallery. And it doesn't even put them in the order you transferred them it just throws them wherever. I like the other my calculator app better but it's not available to iPhones I don't think. ### 3/5 — It is a pretty good app. *2013-03-07* I like the app and the security of it, but there is problems with it as well. Sometimes it crashes on me not often but sometimes. It does not have folders like some other apps like these. It cannot upload video which i really wanted as a feature. I think just if they added video this app would be a lot better ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Crap *2016-11-02* I downloaded it, and it never even worked. Couldn't even put a password, couldn't do it after a reinstall. This is a piece of crap. ### 1/5 — FIX THE BUG!!! *2015-03-17* You need to update it,it doesn't work at all ### 1/5 — Need a fix *2015-01-29* I just downloaded the app and it told me I needed to put in my password clicked ok and it said "error put in password" and goes back and for the between those never letting me try to put in a password ### 1/5 — Haven't been able to get my files *2014-11-14* I've been trying since 2013 to get in to this app and retrieve all my files and pictures and I've yet to be able too. I continue getting an error message despite me uninstalling and reinstalling the app. I also see the developers haven't updated this app since last year. So my question is this, is there any possible you guys can contact me individual and tell me what I can do to get all of my pictures and files back. Because I need them, and unfortunately I was depending on this to keep those files safe and now I can't even get past the error message. Please help me out, thank you. ### 1/5 — Dosent work *2014-10-14* Cant even set a passcode ### 1/5 — Don't download - Unpassable bug *2014-07-29* It used to work great, it had a decoy pin to a fake album incase someone made you enter in. It let you sync photos to and from the app through iTunes. But now, after a clean restore and everything this app won't let you through to pick a pin. Do not download. Seems like a dead app with no updates. ### 1/5 — Scandle r us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *2014-06-27* Jokers for pence all adds up and apple suppose to be a secure network not happy at the principle!!!! Didn't pay £500 to be mugged over 69p ### 1/5 — 👎👎👎👎 *2014-06-08* This Is A Complete Rip Off! I know it is only 99 cents but come on. I bought it and it wont let me store any pictures. All it tells me is to "enter my password" i wont even let me do anything. I am so disappointed with this app. 👎👎 ### 1/5 — Worst App Ever *2014-03-28* WASTE OF MONEY!!!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — DONT BUY *2014-01-08* THIS APP DONT WORK. Daylight robbery at its best!!!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app *2013-08-22* This app is very useful, just remember to delete the photo in your camera roll After you save it in the app otherwise the pic could still be visible to anyone I highly recommend this ### 5/5 — Not bad *2012-12-27* It actually works and isn't a rip off. I can keep private photos of me and my girlfriend with no one knowing. Great security cause I doubt no one will know what to do. ### 5/5 — Video *2011-06-22* Please put allow videos on this app ### 4/5 — Problem *2013-12-05* DEVELOPERS please fix the problem, I re downloaded it, and it should still have my pics, but I go to try and enter my password and it keeps the greati go screen up and asks to enter passcode then asks to repeat! I need my pics! UPDATE! ### 4/5 — Needs some fixes, But overall good. *2011-09-20* Hello, I love the calculator safe app, looks and works fantastic and is an excellent concept but could definitely use some simple improvements that would allow transfer and support of video files from the camera roll, photos can't be rotated by turning the device making it difficult to view some photos in their full size and also the ability to transfer files back to the camera roll from the private area, and the ability to create folders to organize files would make this app complete. Calculator wise it doesn't register any zeros put in after placing a decimal point, so if looking to put 0.05 or 0.00005it doesn't recognize any amounts of zeros after the decimal and will always end up as 0.5. It may just be a camouflage app but it should still work properly, people will be suspicious of keeping a broken calculator app. ;) Looking forward to updates and fixes. Thanks. ### 4/5 — Very good but... *2011-06-16* Very good but... it just needs a slideshow feature to be added!! ### 4/5 — Works well *2011-05-30* Does what it says. Hide all images but will not do videos, even if you access phone thru a PC it still keeps it hidden. Well worth 59p if it keeps things away from prying eyes 5 stars if it took videos ### 4/5 — Amazing idea, poor execution *2010-12-18* It's a great idea but the icon is very poor quality and will bring attention to itself. Use the same pic but put it in high Rez. The only other slight critiscm is that when sliding between your private photos it can be a little bit clunky. It needs to be smoother. Very, very good idea! Just needs a little polish. For 59p you could do a lot, lot worse! ### 3/5 — Just started acting up *2013-09-28, version 1.3.0* Has been perfect for me until my iOS7 update. Idk if it's the new software, the updated version of the app, or new default settings, but as soon as I click 'okay' on the prompt for entering a password, it tells me I did not enter a password without giving me a chance. On iPhone 4S. Any solutions? ### 3/5 — advice to improve all *2013-06-25* the application is very good but it is no iphone 5 yet: (and if you could copy the photos and return them to the gallery would be great hope you come an update soon :/ --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
