Hasty Judgment
I have learned more about the app and the developer. I raise it to 4-Stars.
My initial rating was premature. I still have concerns about the manner in which the app functions, but I am becoming more confident that some of my initial concerns are either addressed outright or through some workarounds.
More thought and exploration has been given to this than the simple UI belies.
In fact, it’s the simplicity of the app that caused my greatest concerns. Although still not as intuitive as I would like, I am finding it more robust than belies some more feature-rich app.
I questions myself, as a certified database designer, what has app tech done to me?
Much more thought out than I expressed in my initial review.
Well done, Mr. Sutariya.

Hi Ricco240266, Thank you so much for reaching out to me. Don’t worry, I am here to help you. Indeed, Trustful is meant to sync across iOS, iPadOS & macOS via iCloud 🙂. I will shared the steps here: Since you have already downloaded it on the Mac. You will have Trustful Emergency Kit which has Secret Key & Trustful QR Code. On iPhone, it will let you know that you already have Encryption setup. It will ask you to Recover Trustful Account. Tap on it & now Scan Trustful QR Code from the Trustful Emergency Kit on your Mac or Enter Secret Key manually& it will recover your Encryption on iPhone & it should be ready to sync across your devices. If you need any help with steps or want me to help you guide through the steps, feel free to reach out to me via mail (truemaulik@icloud.com) I am always here to help you till you are happy & satisfied 🙂🙏🏼 Thanks & Regards Maulik Sutariya iOS Developer & Entrepreneur.

Hi jessssheila, I really appreciate, you taking your precious time to write a review & sharing your feelings about Trustful. I hope you have a great experience using the Trustful app. Thanks & Regards Maulik
great, but manual sort?
No way to view filenames
Response from developer
Hi TEWILLIS_Author, Thank you for writing a review & sharing about your Trustful experience & feedback. Trustful already shows all the metadata & information related to Photo or Video. I am sorry to know that you were not able to find a way to view video or image names. I will help you with it. In Photos View, you can right click any photo or video & select Info fro menu to see all Photos or Video metadata including filename. And if you are in Photo Viewer, then you can tap on the info button on the top right to see the metadata of photo or video on macOS. It also shows file name & many more useful details as well. If you would have reached out to me via mail, I would have helped you there as well. If you have any feedback or suggestions or need any kind of help, please feel free to send me an email (truemaulik@icloud.com). I am always there to help you. Thank You 😊🙏🏼 Regards Maulik
Good but Slideshow Missing
To view hundreds of pictures your finger gets tired an you close the app.
Response from developer
Hi chbto, I am thankful & grateful to you, for taking your precious time to write a review sharing your Trustful experience & an honest feedback. It means a lot to me. And also, I am glad to know that you like Trustful & consider it as a Good app. I have tried to make the app in the best way I can without compromising on Privacy. Trustful has 100% Encryption for Photos & Videos both. So it's live decrypted whenever you scroll through photos and videos. And for videos, it can take time to decrypt due to which it can interrupt slideshow in between & make it pause. So Trustful does not have slideshow till now. But if it is something very important & needed, I will try my best to add Slideshow feature in the best possible way (maybe for Photos only). Feel free to reach out to me via email or iMessage at truemaulik@icloud if you need any kind of help. I am always there to help. Thank You 🙂🙏🏼❤️ Regards Maulik
Clunky but has potential
However there is a premium upgrade. Many of the features in the description of the app are hidden behind this payment, like encryption, but nowhere in the description does it say this, so you won’t know until you try to enable it in the app.
The app has a bit of clunkiness and inconveniences that make me hesitant to use it:
You can’t manually rearrange the order of photo albums.
Subfolders can’t be easily created in an album (first you have to create a “collection” on a separate tab and then add albums to the collection).
You can’t add an album to an album or a collection to a collection, so there is a 1 sub-folder depth limit
Photos cannot be imported directly to an album (they must first be imported to the app, then added to an album separately).
There is a photo import limit (9 photos at a time without premium) but the app doesn’t tell you there is a limit until after you select the photos and press “import”.
When selecting photos to import you cannot swipe to quickly select multiple photos (you must tap one photo at a time)
The app certainly has promise and with some improvements could be one of the better options for photo management. But in its current state it’s not the best solution for someone with a large number of photos.

Hi OldManSchwann, I am thankful & grateful to you, for taking your precious time to write a review sharing your Trustful experience & an honest feedback. It means a lot to me. And also, I am glad to know for your appreciation for Trustful & believing in its potential. I have tried to make the app in the best way I can without compromising on Privacy. Yes, you are correct. Trustful does not have any 3rd Party SDK, & therefore not even a single bit of data is collected by anyone in this world & user has 100% privacy & total control over his/her Trustful data. I have tried my best to keep most of the features available for user to have a small experience of how the app would behave & all the features. So, if users likes it, they can continue further with Trustful Premium. And Trustful is made with Minimalism & Simplicity in mind. And I have been updating Trustful with each update since its launch. And will continue to improve it in future as well. There are some features which you have mentioned, would soon be available in Trustful this year. I really appreciate your feedback. Feel free to reach out to me via email or iMessage at truemaulik@icloud if you need any kind of help. I am always there to help. Thank you for using Trustful. Thank You 🙂🙏🏼❤️ Regards Maulik

Nice, clean, and with zero data collected
Four stars because there is room for improvement, like being able to scroll through images from an album rather than going back each time, but I have no doubt this app will get bigger and better as time goes on.
Great app
This app is a joke
Just what I was looking for
This app conquers both of those needs. It can protect the photos with zero-access encryption, and uses your own iCloud to sync everything between your devices. It also has a very reasonable pricing model, and the developer was able to help when an issue arose.
When my subscription wouldn't sync to my Mac (after purchasing on my phone), I emailed the developer, and he responded within a few hours before pushing a TestFlight fix for my issue. I am now up and running after only a few days! Great response time and a great app!

Bugs
Completely useless without premium version
Response from developer
Hi Bogus542, Thank you so much for using Trustful & for sharing your honest thoughts & feedback. I have tried my best to give as many options free to the user as I can, so a user can get the idea, quality & the features of the app. You can import upto 9 Photos or Videos from Photo Library or Files. You can create albums & collections. You can also set custom Album cover & custom Collection Cover. You can checkout In-built Private camera. You can share & export the Photos or Videos from Trustful. You can also set password & use biometrics (Face ID / Touch ID) also. I think it’s more than enough to get an idea of how the app is, what it supports & what features are in Trustful. I am an Indie Developer and I try my best to come up with the best & the great solution for the user & constantly looking ways to improve the experience. I am sorry to know that you didn’t find the free features helpful enough. I really respect you reaching out & sharing your honest views. I wish you find something better & great than Trustful which makes you happy! I am happy, if you are happy. Thank you so much for using Trustful Regards Maulik Sutariya
