## What is TimeLock Pro Safe?

***** All photos and files are fully encrypted with AES-256 bit encryption algorithm.
***** ProtectStar™ apps are preferred by more than 1.000,000 users in 123 countries.

With TimeLock all of your data is securely stored in a vault. This is not a simple app with a lock, it actually encrypts in AES256.

A high-security vault for files, photos, notes and videos hidden in a clock
====================================================
With the new TimeLock™ PRO app, it is not only a timeless clock with an alarm function, but also a high security vault for your personal data, photos and videos. The vault itself is completely invisible, hidden in the design of the clock. 

TimeLock™ PRO integrates a powerful vault, which comprehensively protects all the backed up photos, videos, files and notes in it, while offering unmatched usability. 

With the latest security technologies the app keeps all of your data, files, pictures and videos militarily secure, because the entire contents of the vault is encrypted with the strong 256-bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) algorithm. 

The AES-256-bit encryption method is one of the safest in the world and is used, for example, for encrypting top secret documents in the military.


Perfect harmony between visibility and invisibility
==============================
The genius of TimeLock™ PRO is the safe, that is hidden and fully integrated into the functional design of the clock: With the hour, minute and second hands of the clock, you can easily set your six-digit passcode. 

Only you have selected your personal passcode, simply confirm it with the inconspicious hands button in the centre of the clock, to open your safe. You can close the safe by shaking your Apple™ device.

Self Destruction 
============
Should you lose or have your Apple™ device stolen, do not worry about the protection of your photos and videos stored in TimeLock™: Self-destruction of TimeLock™ PRO can be activated, to automatically delete all saved data in it after 5 incorrect passcode entries. It is not just simply deleted, instead the entire contents of the safe is securely overwritten.


Wireless and brilliant: The ProtectStar™ iFile Feature
================================
Securely upload or download your photos, videos, files and notes from your PC or laptop into TimeLock™ PRO.
The ingenious ProtectStar™ iFile feature allows you to store files, photos and videos securely from any PC or laptop within your own WiFi network, to view, manage and print them.

The high-speed data transfer between your PC and TimeLock™ means that no unauthorised person can eavesdrop, because when you upload your files, even the communication protocol is protected from eavesdropping.

### 4/5 — Review

*2019-05-26, version 1.16*

Good App, would prefer the option to store alphabetically instead of latest at top. Would also like a save to cloud with sync with other devices (iPad etc)

### 3/5 — Needs an urgent update!

*2019-05-16*

Love this app for the ability to securely store information, photos, and videos. However, as of right now, with the most up-to-date iOS running, photos and videos can no longer be uploaded to the app. This negates the whole purpose of having it! This is a serious bug that needs to be rectified immediately, especially for those of us who use the pro version of this app. We pay to have it, and yet cannot use it. Please, please, please fix. Else we will be forced to look elsewhere for our storage needs, and nobody wants that.

### 1/5 — Not that good

*2019-05-12*

I can not save pictures taken from my phone in the app. Only when I made a screenshot of them...

### 5/5 — IT Security Consultant.

*2018-12-12*

This is amongst my favorite and recommended apps.
Most of the “security” apps which capture and secure files only keep them inside in the app (means they may be retrieved with phone and iPad unlock and file viewing with forensic software - software which may be purchased on the internet.  
This app, however, actually stores AND encrypts the files.  I am able to view my files in other apps (files that exist in my phone’s memory) but not the files in this app.

### 1/5 — Does not work for iPhone XS max

*2018-10-31*

Need to come out with update to fix bugs hello when are you doing to fix this problems?

### 1/5 — iOS 12?

*2018-10-29*

The standard version worked well for me for many years up to iOS 11. After I upgraded to iOS 12 nothing worked and every time I tried to enter my passcode it automatically shuts down. I bought the pro version thinking it would help but it does the same thing. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Please advise when this program will support iOS 12.

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2018-10-21, version 1.13*

Doesn’t work with ios12
Can’t even get into the app after setting up

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with Faceid

*2018-09-21, version 1.13*

Doesn’t work with faceid. Currently locked out

### 5/5 — Protection Protection 🙂

*2018-07-15, version 1.13*

This would have to be the best app to date for protecting what’s important including those pictures and videos.

### 3/5 — It’s good safety gallery but

*2018-07-14*

Hello app team, there is some problem in the app i hope you improve it next update:
1: add feature delete pictures or videos from gallery after import it to the app , so you don’t need to search in the gallery to delete it manually.
2: make it more flexible when you want to choose import more files.
3: add more choices to view or arrangement files that stored in the app.
Thanks great team.
I hope you listen to your clients .
Best regards.
