★★★★ Philip Niddrie 7/2/2026 v23.07.40 release
Paid for premium membership, but am still being annoyed by ads. Have sent several emails to the helpdesk, but have received no reply, and the problem still continues.
★★★★ mark stricker 6/29/2026
Takes forever just to vault anything now. it used to do it almost instantaneously. And no, it doesn't matter the size of the file... it's all crazy slow now. Edit: while I appreciate you updating the app, it still takes at least 10 seconds for pictures to be vaulted, even just 1. So the issue still persists.
★★★★ A 6/29/2026 v26.06.25

★★★★ BTTheus77 6/14/2026 v26.06.01
not locking.....i dont know if its the ads or its the update but it doesnt lock anymore after inactivity and a search bar would be nice within the app.
★★★★ Hitesh dhania 6/10/2026 v26.05.21
Dear Vaulty Support Team, I was using the Vaulty app on my Nothing Phone 2a, where I had stored a large number of important photos and videos. Recently, the Vaulty folder became empty, and all my files disappeared. I did not intentionally delete these files from the app, and I am unable to find them anywhere on my device. These photos and videos are extremely important to me.
★★★★ Pete G 6/4/2026 v26.06.01
Cannot import old media from SD card because now, you no longer have the ability to point the app to a directory. So I am forced to decrypt my files on my old phone (thankfully it has the old version), and I had to find another app that does what I need it to do. Sadly, I paid for this app and have been for a very long time. Disappointing. Don't bother...there are free apps that do more now.
★★★★ Kumar Gaurav 5/29/2026

★★★★ Adnanov AW 4/28/2026 v26.04.13
every thing security is not working in free version no password lock and no hide app as a calculator , all features in this update need money
★★★★ blunk 4/21/2026 v26.04.13
It deletes a whole album of photos and videos mid-transfer and doesn't appear in your app tray. AVOID.
★★★★ Brendon Calumet, MI 4/8/2026 v26.02.05
They need to either reduce ads or reduce the subscription price. I've been using this app for years but I'm about to bail and find a new one.
★★★★★ Michael Kelly 6/30/2026
Used to be slow, then it got real fast, and now it's back to terribly slow. It's great for securing images of gift cards, resumes, logins, and anything with personal identifying information, but it used to take many seconds per image, then an update made it lighting fast, but then another update made it painfully slow. 2 stars until you fix that speed again.
★★★★★ 3!bsk 6/29/2026 v26.06.25
I have been using the app for a long time but after the recent update, it takes ages to hide any file.. why.. other than that its so fine..
