### 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.

### 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.

### 3/5 — good enough

*2017-10-08*

The clock based code doesn’t let me move the second hand to set the last two digits, therefore I had to leave it the default 00.
PDF and Text files stored in the app are not readable, I have to export them somewhere which now is no longer secure.  The app needs to have at least a simple text or PDF viewer inside.  I was able to fool the app to copy my text file into a ‘note’ and serve the main purpose of secure text.

### 3/5 — Great

*2015-05-07, version 1.0.5*

This app is perfect for private files. It works as intended and extremely easy to use and to figure it out. Under a minute and it's all done. The user interface is really nice and discreet. 
Recommended.

### 2/5 — Pls don't change file quality!

*2014-10-22, version 1.0.4*

This app would be great but is currently useless as it saves my photos at different resolutions and quality than they were imported. Please fix it so I can save my files as they were originally!

If they fix this the app deserves 5 stars.

### 2/5 — Picture taking sound means trouble

*2014-08-07*

UPDATE: also noticed that pictures are reduced in size and they loose all the EXIF information (this can be seen when exported).This takes another star. 

 The app is really complete and I see good value on storing other content that photos or video like private notes. The interface is ok although not that intuitive at times. What I think is a big flaw is the Intruder detection system. Basically if you put the passcode in and it's not correct it will take a picture from the front camera of whoever attempted to unlock the app. While this feature is great, the implementation is not as it makes the typical shutter sound, letting know the intruder that his/her photo was taken. At this point the intruder may very well decide to remove the app or even disappear the iPhone knowing he's been discovered. Other apps allow taking the picture with no sound so it can be done. Another improvement would be that the picture is saved with the EXIF information , like date and time and also location. Exporting this picture to the camera roll other tools can let visualize that relevant information.

### 3/5 — Perplexed

*2014-08-04*

How are you going to have an app who's selling point is secrecy - masquerading as an alarm clock - yet it's titled "Hide photos+ p..."?? You spend all this energy to pull off this hoax, then announce it's function with a self explanatory title?? Preposterous. Maybe the title changes to "Clock" with an inapp purchase?

3 stars for that fact alone. When it shows up on my iphone/ipad and within my app center "purchased" list as something other that "hide photos", I'll change to the 5 stars for the programming. 

Unbelievable

### 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...

### 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

### 1/5 — Bubbly bob

*2015-03-14, version 1.0.4*

The most complicated software I've run across in my life. Nothing makes any sense to me so far with playing with it for a day now,and I've been using computers for 30 years. It's like "if I could only just get it started" you  from blank page to blank page with nothing to "tap" on . If you're not a software engineer the save your money because you'll have nothing but headaches with this app.im even typing this blind because it won't let me see what I'm typing. what a bad experience.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2014-09-29*

You don't even need to enter the correct password to view vault!

### 1/5 — Rubbish!

*2014-08-20, version 1.0.1*

Whatever you put in here disappears! Total waste of money - I want mine back.
This app is a con!

### 1/5 — Not a good apps

*2014-08-04*

It is not working I did the password and every thing but it is not working at all 
👎

### 2/5 — Fotos

*2018-02-27*

I can’t import Fotos into the Program
Maybe there is a bug

### 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.

### 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.

### 5/5 — Excellent 👍

*2018-04-03*

It needs a little fix for saving images back to camrra roll to its original quality
Other functions are excellent 👍

in IOS 11.3 can’t import images to the app
Plz check & fix

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2015-03-29*

This app is just what I was looking for.  Easy to use and secure.  I keep taking notes of various usernames and passwords for the many online accounts, too many to keep in my head and too risky to write down on paper.  I don't want this info just sitting in an unsecured file.

### 5/5 — Super

*2014-07-06*

Works very well.
I appreciate that.
5 out of 5

### 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)

### 4/5 — Elegant concept

*2017-11-16, version 1.11*

Well executed and elegant. Works reliably and easily. My wish list would include more control over video playback.  A very superior data vault and highly recommended.

### 4/5 — Works pretty good

*2017-06-06, version 1.9*

Simple and intuitive, glad to see it is being actively updated.   File system inflexible, pics and video placed in date named folders and you can't move them around and combine or split folders. AES 256 bit encryption boasted is good. I assume key is based on a hash of the four digit clock based pw. Optional fingerprint opening activates the same pw? Most picture vault apps don't make note if any encrypting is used and may just kinda hide the app data folder. Wish app name was bit more stealthy to casually appear as another alarm clock app.

### 4/5 — Works well

*2014-08-03*

Consider making a digital clock and entry system. It takes forever to select and move the hands around to unlock with my fat thumbs.

### 4/5 — Good app

*2014-06-23*

Good app but some problems voice memo does not work I like the app but hope you will fix this problem other than that I like it a lot fix this and I would give this a 5 stars
