### 5/5 — Any chance of landscape

*2026-06-21, version 2.1*

This app is good

### 4/5 — 有bug

*2026-04-29*

新版本有些bug，1播放视频不能横屏2导入后并不能从相册里删除，app里显示已删除，实际并没有3播放视频取消了前进后退15s的按钮，反而不方便了4播放视频下方拖拽进度条并不好用。暂时就发现这么多，希望app能变得更好

### 5/5 — 最好用的隐私相册软件

*2026-01-30*

没想到这么多年还会更新，适配了ios26让ui不那么“陈旧”了。
就是有点小问题，现在导入相片后显示自动删除相册相片，但是没有执行成功

### 1/5 — Better apps for free

*2026-01-17, version 1.2.1*

This doesn’t save your photos if you delete the app and reinstall so you can’t get your photos on different devices. Also doesn’t do Live Photos. Don’t waste your money.

### 1/5 — Forgot passcode

*2024-04-05, version 1.2.1*

Anyone know how to recover a forgotten passcode?

### 5/5 — 密码忘记了 怎么办？

*2023-11-05*

密码忘记了 怎么办？

### 5/5 — Worth every penny

*2023-10-06, version 1.2.1*

Great for storage especially if you don’t need web servers as extras

### 1/5 — 从来没有见过这么差的相册保存软件

*2023-04-20*

在下载很多免费软件使用以后，在来重新买她们的这个付费软件是真的花钱有难用，甚至是直接用不了。大家千万不要买，用着用着都是一肚子的气，不要买 不要买 不要买

### 5/5 — No fuss app

*2023-01-19, version 1.2.1*

A nice app that does exactly what it should. A big bonus would be the addition of video files. Update: works with video files !!!

### 5/5 — 这个开发者能不能联系一下，很急

*2022-12-19*

这个我玩没玩明白，手机里的泉删了，能帮我还原一下么
