### 5/5 — Best app

*2026-06-12, version 2.9.1*

Fantastic app

### 1/5 — Terrible app support

*2026-05-28, version 2.9.1*

If you lose your password you can’t do anything and you are on your own. Password reset has to be there, doesn’t make sense.

### 3/5 — PERFECT WHILE IT LASTS UNTIL YOU MAKE A WRONG MOVE!?

*2026-04-06, version 2.9.1*

I was always relaying on this app to save my baby photos and my videos of me when I was younger. Until I made a terrible mistake, I regret soo much till this day. I deleted the app on accident.!I wasn’t able to get them back with was absolutely devastating 😩😩 I am absolutely heartbroken after this 😭😭😪💔💔

### 5/5 — Excelente Aplicativo

*2026-02-25, version 2.9.1*

Aplicativo fácil de usar e muito prático

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-01-27, version 2.9.1*

Does what’s needed

### 4/5 — 満足ですが、、

*2026-01-12, version 2.9.1*

非常に満足です。使いやすく、ほとんど不満はありません。
ただ、アルバムから複数枚選んで、その写真を手軽に直接LINEやdiscordに送りたいです。
ですか、1度写真として保存して、送るしか術がないように思います。

また、写真や動画を追加、の際に10秒ほど黒く固まるので、もし出来たらすぐに写真や動画の画面に移るようにしてほしいです。
ただ、すごくいいアプリです！とても助かります！
改善願いたいです。

追記
アルバムをランダムで見る際、写真ならば写真だけ、などの機能も欲しいです。
また、普通のアルバムから選んで動画を見る時、押したらすぐ再生して、何度もループして欲しいです。現状では、1度動画を押して、もう一度再生ボタンを押さないといけません。

### 5/5 — Good

*2025-12-25, version 2.9.1*

Su dung rất tốt

### 5/5 — Video

*2025-12-21, version 2.9.1*

It should have video auto-repeat feature.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2025-12-10, version 2.9.0*

Best app in my view to protect and maintain privacy in this time period. Best app to stop snooping 😊

### 4/5 — アプリ機能評価および改善希望点の報告

*2025-11-30, version 2.9.0*

写真を安全に保存できるというコンセプトは大変魅力的であり、日頃より愛用させていただいております。
そのうえで、いくつか改善を希望する点がございましたので、レビューとしてお伝えいたします。

まず、使用容量がやや大きい点が気になっております。有料版を利用し約3,000枚の写真を保存しておりますが、現状で3.5GBほどを使用しており、純正の写真アプリと比較すると容量が大きめに感じられます。

また、アルバムへ写真を保存する際の選択操作についてもご検討いただけますと幸いです。現状では一枚ずつタップが必要となり手間がかかるため、純正アプリのように複数選択をよりスムーズに行える仕様をご対応いただけると、操作性が大きく向上すると考えております。

細かな点ではございますが、バックアップ機能が備わっていないことも少々不安要素となっております。
とはいえ、全体的には大変使いやすく、今後も継続して利用したいと感じております。さらなる改善と発展を期待しております。
