has awesome potential!
i've been wanting to find a privacy alternative to apple photos for awhile now and i think i've finally found the one after so much searching. it literally has everything you could need like editing, sharing, metadata extraction, and password protection! with a built-in camera for photo capturing!! I LOVE IT!!!
i only have some requests that i hope the dev will implement or take consideration for, such as:
- making vault passwords optional
- have the app open a folder (that is not password protected) on launch as a custom default option
- group/sort images by date
- photo grid layout adjustments
- remove the green plus button when viewing photos (its distracting to look at 😭)
Response from developer
Thank you for your feedback! Reading how much you like the app, camera included, put a big smile on my face. You have great suggestions, and I'm already working on them, so expect some updates soon. UPDATE: Version 1.18.0 is out with your suggestions: Open on Unlock (start in a folder you choose), Sort By > Date Taken, pinch to zoom the grid, and the add button moved to the top bar. Instead of an optional vault password, you can turn on Face ID or Touch ID in Settings to open your vault quickly. If you need any help, email support@orlio.io. Thank you!

UPDATE: Thank you so much for updating your review! I’m glad Obscura is working well for you, and I’ll keep improving it.
Can't sort photos by date
Response from developer
Thanks for the feedback, and sorry about this. The "Date Created" sort currently uses the date a photo was added to Obscura, not the date it was taken, so photos added together stay in the order they were imported. An upcoming update adds sorting by the date each photo was taken, including photos already in your vault. Thank you for your patience.
