### 4/5 — Lost my pin

*2026-07-29, version 3.0.7*

I forgot my PIN and the master password how can retrieve it please guide me

### 3/5 — Images by date

*2026-07-02, version 3.0.7*

Would be great if images added by the date they were added from Photos library, currently the order gets jumbled up after adding :(

### 5/5 — Helpful dev

*2026-04-27, version 3.0.7*

I don't usually leave reviews but the dev actually helped me when i forgot my password.

### 5/5 — Secret storage

*2026-04-25, version 3.0.7*

This app totally fixed my privacy worries. Works like a legit currency converter, no one suspects a thing

### 2/5 — Any updates coming???

*2026-04-25, version 3.0.7*

My images in my folders are all zoomed in. I am unable to edit them or do anything with them. There is definitely a bug. Any suggestions?

### 5/5 — Easy interface

*2026-04-23, version 3.0.7*

Super easy to use and the interface is simple. I'm not tech savvy at all but I figured it out in like 5 minutes. The one time payment is what sold me cause I hate subscriptions. Also like that it stores stuff in my own iCloud but encrypted so I know it's safe

### 5/5 — Secure storage

*2026-04-22, version 3.0.7*

Best way to hide stuff from nosy people =) works perfect

### 5/5 — It’s good

*2026-04-22, version 1.10.4*

I very rarely write reviews but this app is worth it. works perfect and nobody knows it's

### 5/5 — Cool app

*2026-04-21, version 3.0.7*

Works on iOS 26 no crashes. i've like more than 800 photos in here already

### 5/5 — No cloud worries

*2026-04-20, version 3.0.7*

Super convenient. Don't have to store photos on my phone memory anymore or worry about cloud stuff and my wife can't just scroll through my whole gallery when she grabs my phone lol

### 5/5 — Reliable hiding

*2026-04-18, version 3.0.7*

I use it for hiding receipts and personal docs. works great

### 3/5 — Great app for hiding things, just needs a couple more tweaks and improvements

*2026-04-15, version 3.0.7*

This app is really cool and good at hiding any private pictures you don’t want in your IPhone gallery or in your hidden folder. 

However there is a glitch that if you’re pressing and holding down on an image, the app will go into select mode but the “Cancel” button would be missing and I’d have to exit out of the app and enter back in again for it to be fixed.

Last thing I really want the Developer to add is the ability to move your photos to wherever position you want to move them to. This applies to albums and such. That would be it. Other than that, great app! 👍

### 5/5 — Trusted vault

*2026-04-14, version 3.0.7*

My old vault stopped working after ios update. this one actually gets updated

### 5/5 — Hidden security

*2026-04-12, version 3.0.7*

I’ve been burned by so many "photo vault" apps that either stop working after an iOS update or try to charge me $40 a year forever. When I found this one I was skeptical cause the whole currency converter thing seemed gimmicky. But honestly it’s the best decision I’ve made. The disguise is perfect cause it actually shows real exchange rates so if someone opens it they just see a normal app. I’ve had friends grab my phone to check conversions and had no idea

### 5/5 — Disguised interface

*2026-04-10, version 3.0.7*

it even shows real exchange rates. so if someone opens it they just see a normal converter

### 5/5 — User favorite

*2026-04-08, version 3.0.7*

Best vault on app store. tried like 5 others and this is the only one i kept

### 5/5 — Customer care

*2026-04-06, version 3.0.7*

had an issue and emailed support. they replied within hours with a video. rare these days

### 5/5 — Data protection

*2026-04-04, version 3.0.7*

Switched from google photos cause i don't trust them. this feels more private

### 5/5 — Dev needed

*2026-04-02, version 3.0.7*

Subfolders pls dev!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — I cannot contact the developer

*2026-04-10, version 3.0.7*

Dmitry, please contact me. I cannot access the app. None of my passwords are valid. Apple support could not help me and I don’t want to purchase the Telegram app to send a message. I’ve been trying to contact you for a long time. It’s very frustrating. Thank you.

### 1/5 — Can’t access my files

*2026-03-06, version 3.0.7*

I had some of my files in the converter app and I used to enter my pin in the calculator and then press +. But after the new update Am not able to access them. I don’t remember the master password and the pin wasn’t even working.

### 1/5 — App changed and lost everything

*2026-02-02, version 3.0.7*

Reached out multiple times over months via email and got no response. App updated and started asking me for a passcode I never made and couldn’t guess. Lost all my pics. Do not trust this app

### 1/5 — Glitch

*2025-12-22, version 3.0.7*

I paid for the premium storage on and I keep trying to add photos from my iPhone hidden folder and when I enter my password to open the hidden folder inside the app, the app glitches and takes me back to the main currency screen. Not able to use it after paying.

### 1/5 — Lost excess to all my pics!

*2025-11-20, version 2.2.8*

I lost excess to all my pictures. I put in my IPad password and nothing shows.  Did not lose my password to open app. Does not even ask for my app. Password.  What is going on? When go to safari the developer cannot be contacted, his address on messenger is not correct.

### 1/5 — Not reliable or discreet enough.

*2025-11-11, version 2.2.6*

I’ve used the app for about a week now. I’ve found it to be lackluster in the security/discreetness department. The icon and splash screen of a converter are fine, but you can just access the library down below? Even needing a passcode, it’s still suspicious.

The uploading is abysmally slow. Even when not actively uploading, if the app crashes, which it has frequently, all of my files go straight into the trash, and all my albums are deleted, so I can only restore them to the default folder.

It simply is not reliable enough to be considered for a full-time, semi permanent solution to storage. I unfortunately will be requesting a refund.

### 1/5 — Unavailable

*2025-11-10, version 2.2.5*

Keeps crashing every time I try to open it. The update made me unable to access it.

### 1/5 — Glitches

*2025-09-20, version 2.2.4*

Ruin 2 videos of mine and won’t transfer all my info, out of the app in one go. Steer clear

### 1/5 — Don’t

*2025-08-07, version 2.2.3*

I had lots of pic and videos then I got a new phone and transferred everything it’s been months of it saying syncing and only 20 pics are there and there is no way of reaching out to get help

### 1/5 — Loading time & other issues

*2025-07-23, version 2.2.2*

I used to like this app but the loading time is ridiculously long and I lost everything here twice when I loaded back in so I wouldnt advise using it if you want quick access and reliable security.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Hiding library access

*2026-06-23, version 3.0.7*

Great app! Would love to see the access to the library be hidden behind a long press or double tap rather than just tapping the 3 dots which reveals the library too intuitively

### 5/5 — Vault Backup

*2026-05-14, version 3.0.7*

My old iPhone got water damaged and wouldn't turn on. I panicked about the photos stored only in the vault, but then I remembered the app syncs to iCloud. I logged into my new phone, reinstalled the app, entered my password, and all my private images reappeared.

### 5/5 — Document Safety

*2026-05-12, version 3.0.7*

I really appreciate the app's security, particularly that the vault closes itself the moment you exit the app, so if I happen to leave the phone unlocked, my most valuable documents are completely safe.

### 5/5 — Great Value

*2026-05-10, version 3.0.7*

price is fair for what you get. not expensive at all

### 5/5 — Lawsuit Protection

*2026-05-08, version 3.0.7*

Absolute best if you care about privacy. The app literally saved me from a lawsuit

### 5/5 — Peace Mind

*2026-05-07, version 3.0.7*

Honestly just nice knowing my private photos aren't just sitting there for anyone to see if they grab my phone. I have nosy family members lol so this gives me peace of mind. Works exactly how I wanted

### 5/5 — Affordable Photo Vault

*2026-05-06, version 3.0.7*

I was honestly surprised to find a photo vault that isn't trying to charge me every month. Every other app I found wanted like $40/year or something ridiculous. This one is a one time payment and done. Been using it for a few weeks now and it works great

### 5/5 — Trusted privacy

*2026-05-01, version 3.0.7*

The currency converter thing is clever cause nobody suspects it. My roommate picks up my phone all the time and never questions it lol. The encryption feels solid too.

### 5/5 — Secret storage

*2026-04-30, version 3.0.7*

A clever way to stay private. Converter looks and works like any normal app.

### 5/5 — Frustrating process

*2026-04-28, version 3.0.7*

The only thing i would change is the 20 photo limit when importing. i got thousands to move and it's taking forever
