### 3/5 — Crashes

*2018-01-09, version 1.3*

Forgot I had this app tried to access it just keeps crashing.

### 1/5 — TERRIBLE

Endless Problems & continuous Ad pop-ups

### 3/5 — Please fix this app for iPhone 6

*2015-09-17, version 1.3*

Only picture saving app that doesn't immediately ask for money and doesn't limit the amount of pictures you can store.

### 1/5 — HORRIBLE

*2015-07-23, version 1.3*

Fix this app now. I can't export any of my photos. There are ads popping up everywhere. There needs to be changes made ASAP

### 2/5 — Good To Bad 2

*2015-07-16, version 1.3*

This WAS a good app, now it is not. I have been using this app for many years but after this last update I am starting to think I need to find a new Secret App.
Please fix the following issues:
The Decoy profile now has access to the settings. Only the Secret profile should have access to the app setting, or at-least the secret profile settings.
There is 3/8 of an inch at the bottom of the screen that is now dead space.
When you open a picture file and scroll to a picture you want to view and click on it, it now defaults to the first picture in the file. 
Please rename the profiles, using secret and decoy give the app away.
Please fix these issues.

### 2/5 — Good then bad

*2015-07-10, version 1.3*

This app was great for a long while! It held all the photos i needed and everything and then after a while ads showed up everywhere and would log me out every few seconds. I undated it thinking it would fix the problem but now there are ad videos and the layout doesn't look nice; it's a real shame!

### 5/5 — New update please? Still luv app!!

*2014-12-02, version 1.2*

This app is amazing! I love it but it would be nice if some of the crash bugs could be fixed!! Thanks

### 1/5 — PLEASE FIX BUGS!

*2014-10-07, version 1.2*

This app is GREAT for pictures! But don't bother uploading video's, you'll never get them back. Or to work.
PLEASE PLEASE update this app and fix the bugs! I have important videos on there I'd like to export but can't because it always crashes. And some I can't watch!
Please fix that bug and this app will be top rated! Thanks! 😊👍

### 4/5 — help

*2014-09-20, version 1.2*

when I put in password instead of opening it goes back to home page on my phone please help.  If I delete the app everything goes with it.

### 3/5 — Great except for saving videos

*2014-08-30, version 1.2*

App is great and does everything I'd want it to do but when I try saving videos back to my phone it kicks me out of the application.
