Secret Photo Vault Lock Photos

I created a folder, and stored important files. After not using the app for sometime as I thought I had lost it completely, (found out the icon was changed from a calculator to an umbrella, without any notice or warning, and a couple of days ago, the icon was changed again to some kind of a shield). Tried to open my folder and realized I’d forgotten the password. I followed the instructions in the app to recover the password, but the app keeps asking for the forgotten password. The developer offers some “help”, so I eMailed him -three times - asking for help, but he just won’t reply. I’m deleting the app, since I consider my documents lost already. So much for support!

Overall decent app, but comes up short and needs some work. At first, I really liked it. I like that I can categorize and sort my files by different criteria, and I love that I can back up my files on the cloud (this was the biggest issue with the previous app I used, since I lost a ton of stuff when my phone was stolen). However, I set up a “decoy password” so that someone could log in and only see what is in that vault, but the items in cloud storage on the main vault still appear in that vault, which defeats the purpose for hiding them in the first place. Also, GIF files do not show an animated preview, only a still shot of the beginning of the GIF. The cloud not remaining hidden puts it on par with the previous app I used, with the bonus of more sorting options, but the cloud was one of the big reasons I selected this app. Between that and not being able to view GIFs, I’m going to have to seek out another app or go back to the one I was using before.

Awesome app for backing up and protecting files and pics you don’t want others to see. I especially enjoy the filters it has to allow me to organize my photos by size (and other options) so that I can go through them and delete any unwanted duplicates. The only feature that is not available that I would’ve liked to see is when selecting photos from my camera roll that I can drag my finger to select instead of tapping each photo. With a large amount of photos, this could be time consuming and monotonous.
