### 5/5 — I find this a great app to hide away sensitive videos and photos

*2026-05-14*

Back in the 32 bit days I used a program called Stash. Ever since it was pulled from the App Store 10 years ago I’ve searched for a replacement. With each update Video Locker is becoming that replacement. I sent a message with feature suggestions and got back a response same day. It’s nice when a developer listens to suggestions from their users.

Suggestions, ability to delete subfolders, ability to make subfolder icons larger like the 2 column option for the main folders, option to rearrange photos, and a slideshow option.

Keep up the great work.

*2025-04-29, version 3.2*

Well i try many apps for iphone which lock the videos and photo but there are lack of features as well as not expected this app most effective and the feature like quick exit and emergency pin which in case i have to give pin to some one i can share that pin which show only marked items to save my privacy.
