It looks like it has not seen developer activity / bug fixes in a while. I am experiencing app crashes when moving or deleting objects. I hope this has not been abandoned. ### 3/5 — Bulk upload *2026-01-31* I’d love to give it more stars but with only able to upload 20 at a time make it kind of difficult. ### 4/5 — Great little Media viewer! *2025-02-25, version 4.5.2* I’ve paid up for this app and it’s really worth the price! There are lot of setting to customise near enough everything you want. The only wish )which the dev said is coming!) is the ability to filter all videos or images in tabs per folder. That way you wouldn’t have to create a separate folders for different media type. Buy this app! ### 3/5 — Great on IPhone 15 .. 5 stars but IPad 2 stars *2025-02-20, version 4.5.2* Works great on IPhone but on my IPad the app keeps closing when I try to export pics & video. The export option comes up but it won’t open the iPad page to export the pics so effectively once your pics are in the app you can’t get them out to share ..On the IPhone the export / Share works fantastic. Both are running ISO 18.3.1 .. I really like how you can hide the app & use Face ID to unhide & than use the pin to open the app , so it’s a double layer of security to open. If my IPad worked like my IPhone would give it 5 stars . ### 3/5 — Crashes a lot *2024-12-30, version 4.5.2* The core function works, but things like renaming a folder, moving items, crashes the app. You can't delete a folder, will still be there after the crash. Adding items from Files must be done one at a time. App could use some fixes and quality of life improvements. ### 4/5 — Please add!!! *2024-11-22* Please add the ability to move photos around within an album!! That’s literally all this app needs now. ### 3/5 — Awesome. I love it. *2024-07-10* I have been using it since long. Best application. ### 4/5 — Question *2021-08-31, version 4.0.2* How can I get back my back up picture off iCloud ### 5/5 — MooCow *2021-02-04, version 3.1.0* Great app ### 5/5 — Amazing app, one probdjdjr *2021-01-27* This dndnndndbdhhchdhdapp is simply amazing. The only problem is it takes a while to add something to the app, and I end up having to add it again. ### 4/5 — Its greatei *2021-01-25, version 3.1.0* Dodos ### 5/5 — My fav!!! *2020-10-28* I loved MooCow from the mere pic n cuuttee cow that sounds like some farmyard kid game....I’ve had for some time n just feel more secure uploading any pics vids be it secrets or evidence in legal matters or relationships with cheating or abuse!!! 5 stars from day 1 n nice improvements...thank you to developers!!!! ### 5/5 — Just what I needed! *2020-09-14, version 3.0.1* I love this app. It’s perfect for keeping photos for your eyes only. And the cow is adorable! Lol ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Broken app *2023-11-10* When I add a certain amount of media the app no longer wants to open. It opens very slowly at first, does faceID then freezes & just doesn’t open. Why? Memory issue? My whole phone stays on empty 9/10 times bc I use a cloud service so I don’t get it. ### 1/5 — Cool *2021-08-01, version 4.0.1* Cool ### 1/5 — No Live Photo Support! *2020-12-29, version 3.1.0* Live Photos are imported as .mov files instead of maintaining their Live Photo format. Nor does it export the .mov back to the Live Photo format. This is a deal breaker, as I want to keep the LivePhotos as is, not import them as .mov (or still image!) .. There are other similar apps that support Live Photos so there’s no reason this one shouldn’t ### 1/5 — Worked great now won’t open *2020-10-06, version 3.1.0* I’d give 5 stars if it still worked. Now it won’t open after entering code-just says “success.” Worthless and if I lost my pics stored there, really bad. Have had it for several updates but now, no good! ### 1/5 — Was hopeful *2020-07-30, version 3.0.1* Installed about 2 weeks ago. Everything worked great until a few days ago now it hangs up when trying to open the folder with most of my photos in it. Emailed the developer but haven’t heard back from them. ### 1/5 — Meh *2020-05-11, version 2.2.2* Meh ### 1/5 — It’s ok *2020-01-31, version 2.2.2* I wish all the cool settings without having to pay for premium. ### 2/5 — It’s almost great *2024-04-10, version 4.4.1* It works fine except for the fact it doesn’t play video and randomly crashes ### 2/5 — won’t open *2021-06-26* I sort of figured this was too good to be true. Once i got around 10 gb worth of pictures and videos on here, the app won’t even open, it loads for a good 10 seconds and then force closes. insanely unfortunate. i paid for the premium thinking this was everything i wanted but now it’s unusable. is this something that could potentially get fixed in the future? ### 2/5 — It’s so so *2021-02-04, version 3.1.0* This app is so so ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best Vault for Pictures and Videos *2026-01-14* App works great. Best one time purchase App for hiding Pictures and Videos on the AppStore to a more than fair price! Keep up the great work! ### 5/5 — Keep *2023-09-09* It has taken me a bit of time to learn how to manipulate the app now having a good time ### 5/5 — BEST APP *2023-03-31* It’s good but if we forget our password the we can’t restore our file that’s lil bit bad in this app ### 5/5 — Pretty cool app! *2023-02-01, version 4.3.1* So I just donated to the dev & requested a feature that *facepalm was already there… Anyway this app is pretty great if you want to hide some photos on your phone because of course remember that Apple ultimately controls the file system so… but anyway I know we have hidden photos in our default gallery but I like this all & I like the auto delete features & the fact that sure the photos are on my phone but they live in their own place. Anyway I highly recommend this app. The dev is still maintaining it & it has a pretty cute name. ### 5/5 — Keep *2022-07-06, version 3.2.0* It has taken me a bit of time to learn how to manipulate the app now having a good time ### 5/5 — Great! *2021-06-14, version 3.2.0* Great! ### 5/5 — Love it *2021-05-09, version 3.2.0* Awesome ### 5/5 — MooCow *2021-05-08, version 3.2.0* It’s a really good app ### 5/5 — Nice!! *2021-03-07, version 3.1.0* Very discrete! ### 5/5 — opinion *2021-03-03* The software idea is very good, the function is also good, but very card photo many will flash back, hoped that the improvement had better add a photo sorting function!thanks --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
