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. ### 4/5 — Great but a bug. *2014-05-01, version 1.2* When you used the fake password your not suppose to be able to get into settings but if you hit edit and it gives you the button for settings. And then you can just hit view logins and get your real password. ### 4/5 — App *2014-02-20, version 1.2* Great app does everything I need it to do. One thing though that it's lacking is a video function and also a better start up screen before the password entry. But over all I love it ### 3/5 — Login probs *2014-01-11, version 1.2* I haven't used it for a while and forgot my password is there a way I can get back in without losing those pictures? ### 3/5 — Can't export or view videos *2013-11-08, version 1.2* I can't view my videos or export them back to iphone. Allow us to zoom ### 3/5 — Trouble logging in *2013-08-22, version 1.2* I love the app and I use it a lot but I didn't use it for a while and I completely forgot my password. Is there any way I can reset it? I don't want to lose important things I have in there! ### 3/5 — Decoy user has full control of password *2013-08-20, version 1.2* Love the app dose just what I need it to do. My only problem is that the decoy user has full control to change password on me (intended used). Please fix!!! The setting button should not show up after hitting edit>back! ### 3/5 — Fix/addition? *2013-08-16, version 1.2* It would be so much better if you could easily zoom and rotate pictures.. Other than that I love the app and the two different folders you can log into. My woman thought i deleted a bunch of pictures but I still have em... ### 3/5 — Worse now *2013-08-16, version 1.2* It did exactly what I wanted to before the last update but now your recommended apps are in the way of adding new pictures to albums. But I love the 2 different password thing! ### 4/5 — Almost there *2013-08-16, version 1.2* Very good app, just needs adjustments. Need to be able to zoom in on pictures and rotate the ones that come in sideways. And now the videos are messing up, the first video in my file wouldn't play, I deleted it then the next one wouldn't play, but the rest would. ### 4/5 — Need to fix *2013-08-12, version 1.1* I love this app because I get to hide my private photos but now I can't erase or export them back because of the stupid adds so please fix that ### 3/5 — New update *2013-08-11, version 1.1* The new update making it so you can't add new photos. The adds are now in the way of the buttons on the bottom. It would be great if this problem could be fixed! ### 3/5 — Was good *2013-08-08, version 1.1* With the new update, your bottom add blocks the ability to be able grab a photo out of your app. Incase I wanted to send the pic out anywhere. Now, the app is more like a museum for our photos. Please fix this ### 2/5 — Some problems *2013-08-08, version 1.1* There are some problems with the ads on the app interfering with the buttons. I cannot click the button that allows me to add photos or anything on the bottom bar. ### 4/5 — Good *2013-07-02, version 1.0* This is a really good app. It serves it's purpose. However, when you log in with the decoy password, the settings button is still there. Someone who has the decoy password (which is meant to help stop break-ins) will be able to change the password. This is a huge security concern. Fix this and the app will be worthy of five stars! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — TERRIBLE *2017-05-10, version 1.3* Endless Problems & continuous Ad pop-ups ### 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 ### 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! 😊👍 ### 1/5 — Problems after update *2013-08-09, version 1.1* The app worked great until this most recent update. Now I can't click anything at the bottom so I can't import my own personal info from the app because ur ads are blocking the buttons. Plz fix. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work. *2013-02-13, version 1.0* If you log into the decoy and press "edit" twice, the settings become available and you can easily change the original passcode and log into it. ### 1/5 — Not safe, lame AD *2012-03-31, version 1.0* If you login via decoy simply clicking the edit button and not editing anything will make the settings menu appear where you can reset the real password ### 1/5 — Sketchy privacy *2012-03-18, version 1.0* When I attempt to add media to the private folder the app asks me to grant it access to my location. Why should a private folder app ask for location info? I wonder if this developer is trustworthy... ### 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! ### 2/5 — Suggestions *2013-08-16, version 1.2* You should be able to zoom in on pictures in the app and turn them sideways ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 ### 5/5 — Nice app *2014-01-05, version 1.2* Folders works really good keep all my pics safe ### 5/5 — App *2013-08-23, version 1.2* Its a good app but it keeps crashing on me and I can't view my videos now. HELPP ### 5/5 — Make a better layout for startup! *2013-08-16, version 1.2* If you make a cleaner and more smooth login startup and when you enter the password it would be way better. Also it crashes when I login sometimes! ### 5/5 — Export *2013-08-16, version 1.2* Love the app, just I am having a little trouble exporting back to the iPhone. ### 5/5 — Just what i need *2012-10-01, version 1.0* I've been looking for an app to keep certain things private, and this app is perfect for the job. ### 5/5 — Love it!! *2012-09-15, version 1.0* This app does exactly what it needs to. I have no problem exporting back to iPhone and always runs very smoothly. Of course the decoy idea is great but like said before your password can be changed. Other than that no complaints. ### 5/5 — We all know why we bought this *2012-07-14, version 1.0* To hide nudes. And if that's the case, works great ### 5/5 — Great but... *2012-04-14, version 1.0* Where do the break in attempt pictures go? ### 5/5 — Forgot password *2012-04-03, version 1.0* Locked out of folder forgot Password anyone know How to Reset? --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
