No longer works.

Bought app and doesn’t allow me to add any locks. Update it or remove it from the store.

Crashes when using camera

When I choose “take photo” and it tries to open the camera it crashes.

Missing obvious features

The idea is really good but it's missing two obvious and easy to implement features. 1) The ability to start the timer from the time you actually try to open the photo vault, not just from the time you created the vault, and 2) to relock the vault after it is unlocked and restart the timer. Those two simple features would make it actually useable for a lot more people. The way it is now I requested a refund from Apple.

Great App

Really like the simplicity. Very easy to use. I would however like the time limit to include years, not just days.
Also, when taking a photo of a combination, the thumbnail is still visible until you choose not to display it. Would be great to have blur thumbnail setting. Just to make sure you have all the dials included in your image but not to be able to see the actual digits.

No longer works

Used to be great now it just crashes when trying to load

The creators of this app never respond to emails. Terrible customer service

Doesn’t work!!!

They claim that the time can’t be tampered with. If you change the time in the iPhone settings it effects the time on the app, hence tampered with. Due to this, the app is absolutely useless and a waste of $10.

Response from developer

Dear Customer, This app uses NTP to verify your local time to prevent people from get item unlocked earlier by changing the local time to a future date. You can easily verify this by creating a locker and then going to your system settings to change to a future date, and if you come back to the app, you will see “system time is not matched” warnings under your new created locker, you can not unlock them unless the system time has been changed back and the schedule unlock time has been reached. Hopes this explanation can solve your concern. Regards

Simple and elegant solution

Easy to navigate interface and perfect functionality for the intended purpose. I appreciate the ability to take photos within the app and not have to mess with photos outside of the app.

Just doesn’t work

I have an updated iPhone 6. This app has to connect to the internet before it does anything; “anything” meaning EVERY time you look at it; however, it “can not connect to the internet” because it doesn’t work, even though there is Wi-fi and mobile data available and enabled. So, as a result, you cannot create a new timelock without several faffs of opening and closing or retrieve an old one if you have managed to create one in the first place.
I have emailed the makers three times but to no response.
It’s completely unreliable, frustrating and expensive, don’t waste your money.

Five stars

Excellent idea, functions as described.

Great Upgrade

The upgrade to this app is very good. Over the past several months the app wasn't working well with recent operating system upgrades. I like having the ability to extend the time on it but are should be taken since an inadvertent tap can cause the extension of time to be added, and that can't be undone. Imagine being locked up several intervals longer because someone -- intentionally or by mistake -- taps on the extension bar. There should be a confirmation selection before the extension is applied.
I still give this 5 stars though, because it is absolutely unique. There are no other apps that can take a photo of a combination lock and hold it for the prescribed time (now extendable), and give it to you at the end of the time period. I'm amazed more people haven't found it.

Works as advertised and works well

Before this latest update this was a 1 star app in my book. That was due to major bugs.

But this is no longer the case. The developer has fixed the bugs and I just tested it myself.

The app works great now.

Needs an update, buggy!

Overall, it's ok. The passcode unlock option is supposed to be a permanent decision for each pic, but when I close and reopen the app, I am able to reverse that decision. Also, when I try to leave feedback, the program crashes. Also, I'm supposed to read I help manual that apparently does not exist.

Buggy

Key holder feature buggy in several different ways.

Expensive, but it works.

The user interface is well thought out.

Works Great!

5 Stars because it does everything just like it says.
Request for additional features:
1. Can e-mail/text the photo to someone and doesn't keep a copy of E-mail or text on phone.
2. Able to add time during session.
Bonus: complete override privileges can be granted to another user prior to setting time.

Almost there

App works flawlessly and basically what you paid for. The only reason it didn't get a 5 star is because I'm paying $10 and it can't extend time on already locked photos. Would be an epic feature that I'm sure many people would love including myself.

Great app!! Would love to see a random feature, set with min and max time limits.

MC tested

This is the perfect app for using along with a holy trainer MC. It is very easy to take a picture of a lock combination without seeing the numbers.

Works Great. How about location option

Works really well and flawless execution. Could be enhanced with a location unlock feature. Lock picture until you go to a certain location or a string of locations. How exciting!
