### 1/5 — No Support

*2023-01-21, version 5.6.1*

I ran into huge problems with this app. I had Private Camera Lite on my old iPhone7 and when I tried to transfer it to my iPhone14 the app would not open. I then downloaded Private Camera Vault and was able to set it up but unable unable to migrate photos. I contacted Apple support and they were also unable to contact the developer. Finally the Apple rep suggested I simply reload my iPhone7 from the cloud, when I did that the app opened on my 7 and I was able to retrieve my photos and moved them to my iPhotos “hidden” file. Fortunately I still had access to my iPhone 7 or I would never have been able to retrieve these photos. In summary my advise is to always check out the developers and make sure you are able to contact them before placing any trust in their apps

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2022-09-19, version 5.6.1*

Best app!

### 2/5 — Not working

*2022-07-12, version 5.6.1*

App not working after I change my phone

### 1/5 — Photos gone

*2022-07-02, version 5.6.1*

Is there any support.  All my photos disappeared.

### 1/5 — iCloud on feature doesn’t work

*2022-06-29, version 5.6.1*

It won’t let me turn on the iCloud sync…it will freeze and exit out once I click on it.

### 1/5 — Photos can be accessed without password

*2022-04-05, version 5.6.1*

I just noticed if I go to my “Files” app and in device storage there is a folder called provate camera which contains all my private photos with no encryption or password whatsoever. 
I can’t stress enough how ridiculous this is.

### 1/5 — Password retrieval

*2022-03-30, version 5.6.1*

Haven't been on the app in a while and forgot my 4 digit password. There is no way to contact anyone to help retrieve it. If I had to use an email, I really don't know which one I used.

### 3/5 — Crashes

*2022-03-27, version 5.6.1*

Can’t get it to stop crashing

### 5/5 — Good job

*2022-03-27, version 5.6.1*

Thanks

### 1/5 — Worked like a charm-Not any longer

*2021-11-30, version 5.6.1*

The developer needs to update the app because as of now it’s useless to store pics or video. It’s simply useless because the app no longer opens with latest iOS updates. Once was great but left  untended it seems.
