Albums not showing when locking photos
Recently I am not able to select the Albums from the Gallery when trying to lock. I have to search the photos from Recents which is very tiresome. Waiting for an update to fix it. Otherwise have to switch to different app.
Can’t Remove Ads!!!
This app could really good, instead it is
garbage because the developers can’t
or won’t unlock the ads in their own code,
or did is it their code? Did they buy it? It makes a reasonable person wonder. If you aren’t infuriated by ridiculous ads you will be fine. If you are, move on to something that offers you an alternative.

No puedo pasar la cuenta mi otro teléfono al nuevo😌
Necesito ayuda
DO NOT DOWNLOAD
I had pictures and videos stored on the app and I haven’t logged into it for a few months and when I logged back in all my pictures and videos are gone!!!! Worst app everrrr!!
Not happy
I updated my iOS and all my pics included the app vanish from my phone, now I can’t get them back
Dishonest
This app is terrible. I constantly get false warnings that my storage is full, which is not true. I’m deleting it.
Way too many ads
Way too many ads, downloaded and deleted after having for about 5 minutes and being served about 10 ads that you're either unable or are difficult to skip
Useless app
It is a useless app that spends more time showing ads than anything. Does not accomplish what it says it would. Very frustrating!
My phone reset
My phone erased everything off of it and I had this app here now I can’t get none of my photos what can I do
Answer me
I have been enjoying this application for a whole year, but a few days ago I took out 300 photos and videos of my own, and when I took them out, I did not find them in the gallery. Instead, I found 300 empty photo albums in the gallery. The pictures mean a lot to me and I want to restore them. I contacted you via e-mail, but there is no response. Why? I want that photo back at any cost
lrap
تطبيق خرا
Sad
I had information about this application on an Android phone in my gmail account, now I can't recover them because it forces me to use the iPhone account
Very bad
Very bad, I don't recommend it at all. I transferred part of my private photos to this app and it was all a very bad idea. I was or I don't know if they did it trying to hack my account. when I entered to see the photos it would not let me see them it was discontinued and it takes me out of the app every 👎🏻 I do not recommend them at all
Hard to use
This app is hard to use and there’s an ad every time you touch anything... unnecessary and not worth the download 👏👎
Sad
So sad I lost all of my pictures of almost two years, all memories gone because I uninstalled the app for just a moment. When I downloaded it back, everything was gone.💔💔
En androides de maravilla en iPhone no se que le pasa
No se que te paso en los teléfonos androides que eh tenido funcionas de maravilla pero en mi iPhone no me funciona bien y me salen muchos anuncios de cuando acá si esta era mi app favorita cuando vuelva hacer como era la volveré a descargar
Review
It didn’t lock my apps there was only space for photos wth
Logged out !!!
I recently changed my phone and now I can get it back,all my photos gone just like that 😤😤😤
Ads
Please allow to remove ads or something it is way to many
Great Idea, but absolutely HORRIBLE!!!
Under NO circumstances should anyone download this app! I love the idea of a photo vault but I cannot use the app at all because so many advertisements play consecutively.
It is my best guess that the developer is playing a numbers game to make money without concern for integrity and ethical business practices. I could only stomach 4 two minute advertisements before I decided I was done with being insulted. Now, if only 1 million people out of the 300 million+ population in the US does exactly what I did (watch 4 long and lame advertisements, or 2 every time you return to the main app menu screen) and as an “example number” the developer could earn $0.05 for every add watched. That is $50K or $50,000!!
I still gotta give credit to this “scheme” the developer has going. I’m sure so many others do this too. It is a really easy way to make a lot of money. Keep making “good idea” apps that are unusable because it really only about commercial advertising to keep revenue flowing. It’s not illegal, but it is too level lame. The fact this app is not even offered to purchase without adds says something, and I don’t think it’s good.

Too much ads
Please remove the ads or add premium option
Bombarded with Ads!!
This was my go to app lock for a few years but it now has Ads that never stop and you can't get out of them. Terrible terrible now.
Not satisfied
This app will need subscription this is not fare
Perdí todas mis fotos
Subí mis fotos ala app y las borré de mi galería de fotos y cuando quise verlas en la app lock también se avian borrado 👎👎👎👎👎
Not so good
Well it didn’t work at all. I thought it would since it said it had good reviews but I’m just now seeing it doesn't have any good reviews so don’t get this app it is a waste of you’re time.

It’s ok
I bought the app to lock my apps but it wouldn’t let me lock my apps it would only hide my photos
Its good but has a huge deal
This app looks good but i test it by uninstal it and installing it back again i lost all my pictures thats really not the way yo go. Atleast like when i install it that it ask me something of a password that i enter before to reach my pics but not even that. When you install it is like you list every pictures and its back to step 1 back wihout getting the pictures you hide. Tell me if you can fix this
Upset
I had gotten a new phone and yes got deleted
