Seams to be getting worse
Was going to give this app at least a 4 star but it now is not letting me even add or remove pictures and documents from the app. Wish there was maybe an update or something?
Do not purchase
Files will not transfer and I do not get an error report. Save the 1.99
Crashes with IOS 14.2
The program crashes when trying to open ever since upgrading to IOS 14.2. Hopefully the developer puts a fix in for this because otherwise it has been a good program.
Login fails for no reason and no sort for files
For the most part this app does exactly what it is supposed to, with some limitations.
1. The login fails repeatedly for no reason, even though Iβm using the same drawn pattern.
2. Photos and videos are stored in the albums in seemingly random order, there is no logical sense to it and no way to re sort them. Initially these would get placed in the order I uploaded them to the album, but now is random.
3. Some types of video file are not compatible and wonβt import for any reason, but no error message is given by the app. The file appears to be transferable, but after completing all the steps, it isnβt in the album.

This app works great
Outstanding File Safe
Built in web browser, too! Just no .gif support for some reason.
Decent but hampered by problematic file import and other usability issues
Pros
- Once you get something in the app, it does what it is supposed to do - prevents access to your content unless the user can authenticate with a drawn pattern or touch/face id. Well done. A truly impressive percentage of these kinds of apps fails this primary objective.
Cons
- WiFi transfer (apparently the only way to get an actual file imported) will likely usually fail on modern computer operating systems with properly configured browsers, networks and firewalls. Not the developer's fault, but there's no workarounds or troubleshooting guide to help you understand why it's not working or what to try when it doesn't work. Import from a cloud service would have been a much simpler alternative to trying to make wireless transfers from a local device/PC work.
- My OC is incredibly triggered by the app having the name "PrivateCal copy" as the label on its Springboard icon. I really don't want to look at that ugly name every time I see the app's icon - this would be a 4 star review if the developer would have just taken the trouble to give the app a proper Springboard name instead of lazily accepting the default name that was no doubt generated automatically when he copied the project files for this app from another of his apps.
- Even though the app autolocks your content when you switch away from it, it bothers me that there is no easy way to relock your content manually before switching away. You can do it from the app's settings screen, but there really should be a lock button on the main screen.
- Having not gotten WiFi import to work, I resorted to using the device clipboard to import the contents of the text file I failed to import into a "Note". This suffices for my purpose, but I can't work out how to change the Note's title to something other than the awkward name automatically generated from the Note's first line of text. Developer - please tell me there is a way to do this that I was just too dense to discover. I'd really like to change that Note's title.

Excelent
Exactly what I was looking for secure my special files!
Great
Great app. Easy to use.
file locker
when i first installed this, i was somewhat skeptical about how to use it. now this is my "go to app" for private files. it can handle about any type of file. and it is very easy to move files to other apps. highly recommended.
Uh
What's going on? Why is it not letting me import photos anymore..?
The best
Great for keeping your important files safe
Great app
Fulfilled all of my expectations. Highly recommended.
Dope
Perfect App!
YouTube change
The browser should be changed to support YouTube. When I type it in I get a "not supported" message. And when I type It into google and just click a link it isn't supported anymore. I'm not satisfied with this app and I hope you can update it to the liking of everyone.
Great app
I wanted an app to lock some files and this is probably the best one I've found. Tried keepsafe but they charge monthly. This app works great once you figure it out. Easy to upload your files over wifi and flawless with Touch ID.
Not So Great Update
The latest application update for IOS 8 now causes the available screen size on my iPad to be reduced by 30 percent, with no adjustments possible. The worst of this is not just the reduction in screen size, but the fact that a third of the picture, document, video is not visible on the screen.
Great app
Simple, don't need online registration.
password works sometimes, but not other times
how come i can only get into the app half the time while using the same password? also, add mp3 recordings please. from my voice memo
Ajuda!!!
Esqueci a senha para desbloquear e ver arquivos, como faço???
