### 2/5 — Use to love

*2023-11-03, version 3.0*

Not sure what’s going on but now it says my pass code isn’t right and I can’t fix or change or anything. I don’t want to lose the pictures I have in the app.

### 3/5 — Good but could be better

*2019-04-07, version 2.0*

I like it but you should make it to where you can store videos also.

### 2/5 — Ads: bait and switch

*2016-04-17, version 1.2*

Contrarily to the pictures shown, the app contains intrusive ads. I understand free apps need to generate revenue to be viable, but developers have to be honest about it
