Safe Lock - Hidden Photo Vault

I purchased the pro license because it works as expected. My favorite part of this app is immutability of the data. So many apps have a mandatory recovery method in case you loose a password and this allows a choice. It’s a great way to organize and keep your stuff safe. Would be nice if there was a cloud backup feature where the data is an encrypted package that’s only recovered in the app with credentials. As it is now, delete the app and data is gone. I’ve not tried the slide show but it makes a nice photo album. Overall it’s super clean. Haha, might have a back door but my hope is the data is secure. My biggest request was immutability and internal encryption for safety.

I previewed a lot of similar apps before deciding to purchase the life long subscription. One of the key features was the decoy password which was advertised as only being available with subscription. After the purchase, I immediately began to set up the app. Surprisingly, the option to set up a decoy password disappeared upon purchase. Also, I tried to do a WiFi transfer and the connection to my device would not work. Both devices were on the same network and the IP was entered correctly. Long story short, I am very displeased with this app and strongly recommend these items get fixed or consumers stay away from this app.

The app doesn’t tell you this at first, but you only get the basic features for about a month or two before they become locked behind a paywall, at which point the app is just a worse files app. I completely understand that the developers would require some form of payment, but the amount of features that become locked once the subscription runs out is ridiculous. I tried to recover my photos back onto my phone, but for some outright stupid reason, you have to have a subscription to FREAKING COPY OR SAVE MORE THAN ONE PHOTO AT ONCE. I literally had to manually go through each and every photo I had in this app and save them back to my camera roll, which takes 100x longer than is necessary. Why can’t there just be a single app that allows me to put a passcode on my files without having some ridiculous feature or caveat included? Subscriptions should enhance a service, not remove the most basic quality of life features from it so that the app becomes intolerable to use.
