Leider funktioniert das automatische Löschen beim Importieren nicht. Daher erstmal nur 3 Sterne. Mal schauen ob es Updates gibt. **Developer response:** Thank you for your review.

Thank you! ### 4/5 — Help…why can’t I see images? *2025-02-12, version 4.0* I used the app for a year and it worked great. Got a new phone and now the original images are blacked out. They are backed up but I can’t get the app to restore the images. Tried emailing but no response. ### 3/5 — Add *2022-05-12, version 2.3* They should add something to the app say you delete the app and you download it again you can still have access to your photos ### 3/5 — Password reset *2022-01-12, version 2.1* The password reset isn’t working ### 1/5 — Scam with all ads *2021-05-14* I wish I could give this 0 stars. Just serves ads and that’s all. Horrible UI also. Not worth the money. Will report this app as its only there to serve ads. No real value. ### 1/5 — 이거...this.... *2021-05-06* 이거 지금 어몽어스 잠금화면 앱이였는데.... 왜 이것으로 바뀌죠? This was among us! Lock Screen app but why did it changed??? ### 1/5 — This app is garbage *2021-05-06, version 1.5* This app is trash and disgusting. You make advertisements on YOUTUBE and on GAMES for us to download this. At first this looked promising but no it wasn’t. This app first of all has absolutely NO context on you have to pay for this. Your scamming children and I hope you feel great about yourself too. Second, you put literally 50 thousand ads in your app so you make enough money. Also we know your millionaires at this point because you make advertisements on YouTube and games we play, you make literal advertisements on your OWN game. So if your millionaires, why do you make us pay more than 10 dollars for literally a MONTH Or WEEK? 30 dollars for life time. This is absolutely disgusting. Your literally and genuinely millionaires and you still scam kids for 30 dollars. Your truly disgusting and I’m glad to say, even the most oblivious person is kinder than you. And also I’m glad to say your app will die down in literally a few months. Take this as advise to stop scamming kids and make your game free. Get a life. ### 1/5 — I don’t like it *2021-05-06, version 1.4* I don’t like it because I can’t make it work you got to tell me how to work it ### 1/5 — So bad *2021-05-06, version 1.4* You get adds after clicking 2 buttons not worth it ### 1/5 — Took my money and didn’t give it back *2021-05-05, version 1.4* Bought this and all my money was gone couldn’t get it back don’t do this it’s really bad ### 1/5 — Rip-off *2021-05-05, version 1.4* It not working for me so I kinda think it a rip-off sorry:< ### 1/5 — Bad *2021-05-05, version 1.4* You have to pay for everything.

Tries to charge you to save the photos back into your camera and if they were originally Live Photos, the format is ruined and it returns as a single picture. Very frustrating. Also does not save data in any way so if you transfer phones or something everything will be gone. Would not recommend this app to anyone. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Tr *2024-08-09, version 3.8* Vgvgg ### 5/5 — Geart!👍👍 *2024-05-22, version 3.6* Good app, Thanks🙏 ### 5/5 — Great *2024-03-03, version 3.5* Great ### 5/5 — Cartilla *2024-01-04, version 3.3* Cartilla ### 5/5 — Private Photo *2022-08-06, version 3.0* WHO ever put this app together did a great great job I like this app I might want to get it for $49.99-to on this app or get it for years and years ### 5/5 — Thanks *2022-04-07, version 2.2* Good app ### 5/5 — Thử mò mà ra cái này cũng khá oke *2021-10-12, version 2.0* Giao diện hay phết đệ ### 5/5 — WASTE OF TIME SO MANY ADS *2021-05-03, version 1.4* the only reason why i giving this app a 5 star is because so this review can stay BUT LISTEN THIS APP HAS SO MANY ADS AND ON TOP OF THAT I CAN’T EXIT OUT OF THEIR OWN ADS ITS A WASTE OF TIME AND EVERYTIME YOU PRESS ANYTHING A AD SHOWS UP THIS RIDICULOUS PLEASE DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP ITS A WASTE OF TIME AND AFTER THIS REVIEW I AM DELETING THIS APP! ### 5/5 — Jwhehejjsjdj *2021-05-03, version 1.4* Jehdhdhhsjd ### 5/5 — Eyshshhd *2021-04-30, version 1.4* Please dbguffifudufhfhfhhfhfhfhffjfhfhfhxhxhxhxc --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
