(I put the answer in but still doesn’t work). I have never paid for this app & in the help sections I am finding that’s it’s no longer free.. HELP???!!! ### 2/5 — What’s happening here??? *2020-04-19, version 3.1* My pictures are being replaced with other pictures in an entire different folder. What’s going on? Why is this happening??? ### 2/5 — Could be perfect with one simple change *2020-03-15, version 3.1* In file manager, if there was a way to select multiple files to transfer, this would be a much better app. As it is, having to select one file at a time is ok only if you don’t have many files to transfer. That one simple fix would put this to a 5. ### 3/5 — Update *2019-12-16, version 3.1* Is this being supported anymore ### 4/5 — Please help *2019-07-14, version 3.1* Is it possible to recover my photos stored on this app from an old phone that was stolen? ### 4/5 — Review *2018-12-03, version 3.1* I like the app but I forgot my password. How do I change it without losing my content?? ### 3/5 — Deleted photos still remain *2017-11-10, version 3.1* Used to use this app all the time, so was happy to see an update. But after deleting photos and loading new ones, the old photos are still displayed after clicking on the new thumbnail. Don’t remember this ever being an issue before. ### 2/5 — Contents visible in App Switcher Mode!! *2017-10-08, version 3.1* Really like this app but discovered that when you double-tap the home button to switch between apps, the contents (i.e. photo thumbnails) are visible. A bigger issue, if this app is running in the background and someone double-taps from another app. Please, fix. Love this App, otherwise. ### 4/5 — V3.0 *2017-09-24, version 3.1* In version 3.0 the touchcode entry screen (now grey instead of white) is unresponsive and I am unable to get into the app. I had no access issues prior to the 3.0 upgrade. Anyone else having this issue? Any ideas for a workaround of fix? Great app and frequently used. This is my first issue with it. Is this app no longer compatible with iPhone 5S? ### 4/5 — Great!!! *2017-09-23, version 3.1* Does exactly as it should. Only issue I can see is that you HAVE to first have photos in your Camera Roll before you can transfer them to ID. When I press and hold on a photo to save I wish ID would be an option of where I can save it to so I can bypass the camera roll all together. ### 3/5 — Please developers help me *2017-07-11, version 3.0* I can't get into my app. Please I've had this app for a few years now and I have information that is needed. Please help! ### 1/5 — Crashes every time *2017-07-07, version 3.0* This app is awesome when it works but ever since the new update it crashes every time I transfer stuff over please fix ### 4/5 — Portrait - Landscape Orientation *2017-07-01, version 3.0* This is a great app that I have used for many years. However, the recent upgrade does not adjust between portrait and landscape orientation… it works only in portrait mode. Hopefully, this will be one of the features that was available in the earlier versions to reappear in this new version with future updates. ### 1/5 — Photo Problems *2017-06-17, version 3.0* Since the update, when I go to view photos, it shows photos that have already been deleted. I sent an email to tech support and it was returned undeliverable. ### 2/5 — What happened *2017-05-31, version 3.0* Had this app for years worked great too now when I updated my iPhone 6splus and lost all my content and been emailing support with no answer back I hope they fix this so I can get all my saved data back I will change my review after ### 4/5 — Does what it's supposed to *2017-05-29, version 3.0* Works well and can even encrypt what you upload. First update in a while which will (hopefully) mean it will keep working for years to come. Once you get past the learning curve it's very easy to use. Definitely recommend. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App disappeared from phone and deleted my data *2023-01-09, version 3.1* This app randomly disappeared from my phone and wasn’t available in the AppStore for a period of time. I’m located in the US. It then came back and all of my data was gone. ### 1/5 — I got this app to hide texts—doesn’t work *2022-04-16, version 3.1* The only reason I got this app was to hide texts and I can’t even do that. Worthless ### 1/5 — Used to be good *2021-07-03, version 3.1* This used to be an amazing app. But the fact that it hasn’t updated in three years has caused a lot of issues. The file manager stopped working. Sometimes it refuses to do multiple videos at the same time. Videos end up without a thumbnail so it’s hard to tell what’s what. And now. The new issue. The protection of the key sequence password is defaulting to unprotected. So it defeats the purpose of the app. ### 1/5 — Would be good. *2021-06-25, version 3.1* App doesn’t load video from camera roll so it’s pointless. Needs to be fixed then I’ll give better review. ### 1/5 — I forgot mi passcode *2020-03-25, version 3.1* I dont remember my passcode and there is no way to contact support so they can can tell me how to restore my passcode ### 1/5 — DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY *2018-11-28, version 3.1* I haven’t been able to open this App since I set up my pattern. I created a simple one because I had the feeling that something may go wrong. I also set up a backup numeric passcode. How can I use that if the app times out after a few seconds? ### 1/5 — Uodate *2018-06-15, version 3.1* Great, this update made it worse. I can not download a photo from the app without it crashing. It I delete it then i lose my photos. ### 1/5 — NEEDS TO UPDATE. VIDEOS DON'T PLAY ANYMORE AFTER UPDATE *2018-05-29, version 3.1* THIS APP NEEDS UPDATE. VIDEOS WON'T PLAY AFTER UPDATE. PLEASE FIX ### 1/5 — Can’t contact app support *2017-12-10, version 3.1* Need help, but can’t get in touch with anyone because the developer website doesn’t exist. ### 1/5 — THE BEST *2017-08-11, version 3.0* The iDiscrete App is fantastic, and support is the best I have ever experienced with an iPhone or iPad App. The fact you can load from iTunes is a great feature. Before the most recent UI update it was great, but now the App refuses to landscape when the phone is rotated. A. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Please update *2020-09-27, version 3.1* Please update this app I’ve been using it for years I don’t want my downloads to go away ### 5/5 — Bug report: Hidden Content shows after lock screen *2018-08-06, version 3.1* OS 11.4.1 iPhone 6S + Need Bug fix ASAP! Protected pictures and text content shows if you press side off button, then back on with bottom home button. App does not show challenge screen awaiting password pattern. Other than that, this is a great app I purchased and been using for years— elegant, simple and useful! Also, thanks for update last year. Now please fix this blatant bug—no doubt an oversight in testing the protecting hidden content and kind of defeats the point of the product. Workaround is to close iDiscrete prior to hitting off button. ### 5/5 — Update *2017-09-23, version 3.1* Thanks for fixing the video landscape mode glitch. This is an outstanding app for keeping photos, videos, and text away from prying eyes (like children) ### 5/5 — Best security app out there *2017-05-28, version 3.0* Simply the best security app you can find. It's not the design (there are prettier apps about there), It's the brilliant concept. Read the description of the app. The last paragraph says it all. If you are looking for real security, look no more. You'll not find anything like this. Thanks for keeping iDiscrete alive after all these years ### 5/5 — NEARLY PERFECT *2012-02-10, version 2.2* Operates exactly as advised on sale page. Excellent design of login procedure so that prying eyes don't even know they failed to login. Suggested Improvements? Ability to save notes so that the failed login appears to be a true notetaking program. ...AND the ability to have videos play one after the other without returning to file list. ...AND the ability to shuffle files in playback would be cool as well. FIVE STARS, you know you have stuff you want access to but don't want prying eyes to see, and this app fills that need, almost perfectly. ### 5/5 — The best *2011-12-19, version 2.2* Nothing else can do what this app does. And the customer support is great. They've addressed almost every single issue that has ever come up, and on top of that, they keep adding great features in every update. It had its bugs at first, but even then it was a great app. Now, like a year later, the app is practically bug free with a few minor exceptions and is still getting better and better features. I respect a company that works this hard to help the customer get his privacy. Sorry for the long review. It was worth it. Great app. ### 5/5 — Everything I could want and more coming! *2011-12-02, version 2.2* My girlfriend and I enjoy making videos of an, uh, intimate nature, and with my iPhones HD camera its really easy to capture these moments. Unfortunately that meant that I couldn't let anyone just browse through my phone or use it without my supervision. Until, that is, iDiscrete came along! An example of it's awesomeness: My mother was browsing the apps on my phone looking for interesting ones that she might like. She opened the iDiscrete app, and after watching the loading screen open up into the notes, she just closed and it continued on. My personal girlfriend videos and pics are safe and sound! This app does everything I could ask for in a privacy app. They really have this whole thing sorted out. Talk about intelligent design! The developers are really responsive and have confirmed they are working on an iPad app that will allow wireless transfer of photos and videos so your devices are always up to date! They also told me they will be allowing batch uploading from a computer via the web server in version 3.0 coming soon! ### 5/5 — IDiscrete *2011-11-28, version 2.2* This app is definitely a must have for anyone who needs to keep their files and info secure. Whether it's personal photos, videos or work documents that need to be kept confidential and from prying eyes, IDiscrete is the answer. We've all been somewhere and put our IPads and IPhones down only to see someone who's curious pick it up and decide they're entitled to a browse through your device. Not anymore with IDiscrete. Simple to use, elegant in design and a wonderful asset to your IPhone. Cheap at twice the price in my opinion for the peace of mind alone. The IP / web interface for uploading files to IDiscrete is simply genius. And the app knows the difference between your documents, Power Points, and Excel spread sheets too. And I was surprised that it also knew several photo file formats and placed them in the proper directory. Let me also add that Customer / Tech support is top notch. Send a question or ask for assistance and it'll be in your inbox before you know it! ### 5/5 — Very good app -- exceptional customer service *2011-08-21, version 2.0.1* This app is excellent. There are a few things that could be improved and these are things that the developer is working on. So, I suspect that within the next update or so this app will have almost everything it needs. But what really pushes it over the top is the responsiveness and the patience of the developer to questions and requests for help. I sent a couple of emails and got really fast and helpful responses. They gave me workarounds to achieve what I wanted. Nice to know that VoteQuimby cares about its apps' users. Given all this (and all the other people who mentioned similar experiences and workarounds) -- the instructions could be more detailed. I was told things about what I could do by hitting certain buttons and icons that were totally not readily evident and not in the manual. That could be a real help. At any rate, more and better changes are apparently coming to this app that's worth the price, for sure. The peace of mind it offers is really worth it. ### 5/5 — Waiting for the 2.0.1 version. Amazing app!! *2011-06-19, version 2.0* I never had any issues with this amazing app.. Not until the new version came out. It has little bugs of course, but all I have to do is e-mail the creator & he responds & fixes the problem within hours!! This is a great app. I couldn't think of a better way to spend my money. Theres a glitch in the 2.0 but they are releasing a 2.0.1 version very soon. I talked with the developer and the update that fixes the bugs will be out any day now. They're just waiting on Apples approval. Great app! Great developer! Worth the money --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
