### 5/5 — Hi Developer

*2026-08-07*

This app hasn't had an update in a year, including people’s reviews. I'm just concerned that this app might stop working one day and that I'll lose all my photos and videos due to a lack of an update, I'm saying this because it has happened to me with other apps, in which they eventually stopped working when I saw that updates and people’s reviews were not being answered and left them out cold, that's why I hope the developer of this app will at least respond to what I had just said and put me a ease

### 2/5 — Баг программы

*2026-07-04*

Не работает Импорт из фото.

### 3/5 — Пожелания которых очень не хватает

*2026-03-13*

Сделайте пожалуйста возможность синхронизации между несколькими устройствами 🙏

### 4/5 — Excellent

*2025-09-16*

Nice app

### 1/5 — Password No Longer Working

*2025-07-24*

My previous password is no longer working. Tried every single other password I could think of. Messaged support and haven’t heard anything, and there’s no way to reset your password otherwise. So much for paying for the premium version. My pictures from the past 7 years are just lost.

### 5/5 — Great app but I need help..

*2025-07-12*

Hey I always used the app, I paid for the premium version last year, never had any problem until days ago, my pin code (password) didnt worked, it worked 1 min before, then 5 days later still not working, cant have acces to my stuff, Im still trying to have some help. My other password for the other "fake" folders work tho. Help ?

### 2/5 — App name is too obvious

*2025-03-28*

Developer needs to rename this app to something more discreet than “Photo Vault”.  It completely defeats the entire purpose of the app.  Unusable with this name.

### 5/5 — Five stores

*2024-11-29*

You for supporting

### 1/5 — Don’t Download it caution

*2024-08-29*

When you save your pictures here, you can only see 20 pictures. The app will ask you for a paid subscription if you want to see your pictures.

**Developer response:** You're right, that Full Version is needed to get all features unlocked but we have no subscription, just a one-time purchase. And you still can export your pictures back even with free version. Thanks.

### 4/5 — Ж
