### 2/5 — Not Yet There

*2011-02-27*

This application has a long way to go before it can be considered a serious effort. In escence it works, but not in an acceptable way. Yes, it can encrypt your files, but the photos are squashed to fit the viewing area, regardless of orientation, their ratio is deformed to fit the phone's portrait orientation. Navigation through the menus is still cumbersome, you have the feeling that you're clicking more than you need to to get to where you want to go. The instructions are badly written and the whole process leaves you underwhelmed, quite frankly...

I have the feeling they're going to get better though - there is a lot of room for improvement. In the meantime I recommend "Stash Free", for instance...

### 1/5 — Vraiment nul

*2011-02-22*

Cet app ne sert a rien!!!! Elle déforme les photos!!!!!!!! Voyons donc c'est vraiment stupide!

### 1/5 — Too many issues

*2011-02-14*

Import all did not work
Scroll to folder does not work when greater than 1 screen
Import 1 at a time is too slow
Appears only way to move photo is to bring back to Apple photo app and re-inport
Just has too many issues at this time

### 1/5 — Come on!

*2011-02-10*

Why do my pic stretch when I save them on here

### 1/5 — Not free

*2011-02-08*

Subscription based app. Subscription for what??!
