Photo Vault | Hidden Album PV

Ive had and used this app for several years. It was always a decently reliable app that did what it was meant to do. The recent updates have ruined the app however. The app, which is supposed to be a "stealth" app is no longer stealthy. It used to be called calculator on your home screen, now its called photo vault. That defeats the whole purpose of the calculator function. The app now shows 5 second ads that aren't programmed correctly, as half the time you are unable to exit out of them without restarting the app. Photos can't be rotated in the app and everything is stuck in portrait mode. And lastly, the developer want $10 a month for the ad-free version! Many subscription services cost less than that! I might have considered a $10 one-time payment, or a $3 monthly, but there is no way this app is worth $10 a month. I'll be uninstalling this one and looking for a decent app to take its place.

I have used this app for over a year and it worked great. No complaints until today. I have years of personal photos and videos hidden in the app and I can not access them because the app keeps crashing. My fear is that the app will never work again and I will lose all of my content. If there is a way to retrieve my content from the app please help and let me know.

This app is excellent for storing large quantities of photos randomly, but if you want to later sort these photos into different albums, it is objectively impossible to do. This is due to the horribly buggy nature of the toolbar and even the storage itself. First off, the only way to move the photos is to tap the "select" icon in the upper right corner of the app, which will replace the import button with a toolbar. This sounds fine, but for certain albums, this will often times not actually replace the import button, meaning that you will not only be unable to move photos from album to album, you will also be unable to delete them. This means that if this happens to an album, you will be stuck with a "void album", which you can put photos into, but not move them out of or even delete. A photo app in which you cannot delete photos is not very well made. Another problem with this app is that often times when going into select mode, even if the toolbar works, many of the photos in the album will become invisible and be unable to be selected or even viewed. This is very annoying to deal with when you are trying to sort many photos into different albums, and often requires a restart that really shouldn't be necessary. In all, every tool that has been implemented into this app to sort photos has many bugs that often render them unusable. The password is also a 4-digit max password, which is less secure than I'd like it to be.
