Great App Until You Lose your Phone and all Pictures are Lost. I have been a regular user of photo vault. I started with the regular version and then paid to get upgraded to the pro version. Everything seemed fine even until I lost my iPhone in summer 2019 during my research trip and had to restore/recover lost data. Lol and behold, not even a single one of the over 3,000 archival/research document pics that I got and moved to the vault were restored; I mean, not even a single one. I tried restoring from my itunes and iCloud yet no way. Never trust this app to recover your lost photo files. To make matters worse, I wrote several emails to the developers and even went to their company website to lodge a request to Legendary Software Labs LLC and not even a single response. At least, if you cannot solve the situation, calm your clients and respond to a single request. I cannot believe that after paying the monthly fee, I cannot even recover any thing. I felt frustrated because I so much believed in this app and even got my friends to get it. Now, I am lost and disappointed to say the least. Thanks but no thanks.

Great photo organizer!. Security works very well, as does the built-in browser. You can not only set up passwords for the app but individual photo collections as well. And if someone uses a wrong password it opens to a decoy version of the app. Easy to organize and to customize my photo files. My favorites function is very handy. The built in slide show function is my favorite and most often used, I would like more functionality but for free it is very very good. Like maybe the ability to select multiple files for slide shows. Maybe a favorites function for whole files. And gifs, you can collect gifs I love that you can save playable GIFs. The slide transition isn’t keyed in the the GIFs duration time but you can adjust the slide duration and they play within a given slideshow time setting. So longer Gifs May play once or more and short gifs will play multiple times in the longer time frames. Great app!

So reliable and works!. I’ve used this on and off over the past few years and I’ll tell you, it works! I’ve tried several apps in the past where when you click out of the app and open it up again, the pictures show for a second before going to the password. Which obviously defeats the purpose. THIS app, it works! You can click out and open in a second and it’s already at the passcode screen. Also, even though I technically use the ad version, I’ve only ever seen two in the whole time I’ve used the app. I love this because I’ll just upload the pictures I want from my library and have the option to delete the copies in the library as well. I usually do, because having this app is kinda the point. Privacy. Even though I never have anyone go on my phone, I still have photos I wouldn’t like just anyone seeing. There’s always that time where you show someone a picture on your phone and they grab it and start scrolling. You can also make albums for the different photos. I have the main album and a second one for certain photos I want separate. I definitely recommend!

Cool if it worked. I use this all the same way everyone else does. Needless to say after an updated about a year ago, all the photos and videos I had disappeared. The photos and videos are still there but they don’t show and causes the app to crash. I reached out to support and they informed me that this was an issue <300 of a million people were experiencing and that an update was coming. After no luck I figured id upgrade to the premium app hoping I can restore the pics. After a year and several phones, the issue still persists. I figured I’d try the WiFi sync which I got to login but once I click the album, the app crashes on my phone and the page won’t load. I tried to export the photos and the same thing. Needless to say the developers have yet to address this issue and are blaming the way the phone is backed up, yet all my other apps seem to be working. If the photos are still there, it seems the app is failing to open them correctly. Hopefully they find a solution or a work around. Avoid the “first of all I’m sorry you’re experiencing this issue” response and resolve the issue or provide me on away to recover my stuff.

Great app, but I’m having trouble with the new version. I’ve been using the “pro” (annual fee) version of Photo Vault for a few years, and I think it’s a great app, but it recently stopped synching, and I see a small-font notice on the settings page that says that my version needs to be updated. When I go to the App Store, there’s apparently no version-update option available, only a brand new app with a new icon. There is no information about how my account will be handled if I activate the new app, i.e. will I be charged two annual fees?, will my synched photos be available to populate the new app (with the same folders)?, do I need to deactivate synching in the original app in order to activate synching in the newer app? am I at risk of losing photos on either the cloud server or my device (an iPad, primarily)?, etc. Revision: What I was experiencing (detailed above) was a temporary glitch…things are working fine now. Excellent customer service! Thanks for a great app.

Almost perfect. I’ve been using this app for a long time and have loved its ease of use. There’s only a couple of things missing in my opinion. 1. Permanent folder thumbnail. Yes the last photo in the album is the photo you’ll see in the album thumbnail but it changes every time you add more pictures. If only one picture of your choosing could stay as the thumbnail permanently, that would be great. 2. Picture preview by press and hold when selecting multiple pictures. There are times when you want to select multiple pictures but you can’t tell what or who is in the picture because it’s so small. If you could just press and hold a picture for a second to blow it up that would be extremely helpful. 3. App icon. Keeping your pictures safe is great but an icon with a lock on it called photo vault draws attention to an unwanted person on your phone. If there were multiple inconspicuous app icons to choose from would help immensely.

Great app for those pics. I paid a couple extra bucks to get rid of the adds. Great app. Decoy option works without fail. My only suggestion to the developers would be to come up with an icon that would "blend in" better. I feel like a file folder with a key stuck in it screams "open me." It's all password protected but if I could have the options and features of this app in the calculator front the competition has adopted it would be the ultimate hidden high security safe for all of those pics you can't have elsewhere. Maybe a cloud based server isn’t as secure but it sure would be handy if I could access everything from multiple devices

Love this app.. This app does anything you could ever hope to have in a photo vault app. It has a Password lock, it locks whenever you leave the app, it even has a DECOY so you can, if you want, tell people about it and have innocent pictures in the decoy section. Sort of a “hidden-in-plain-sight” thing. It allows you to delete the pictures you import directly from the app, and it saves their original quality. Their support website is helpful and to the point, and very easy to navigate, just like the app. I have very strict parents tbh, and that’s why I use this app. It’s by FAR the best out there. I have a really, really big amount of appreciation for this app and I would totally donate a few bucks via in-app-purchase to ensure it stays awesome.

Great App But. . .. This is definitely the BEST photo & video storage app, hands down! It quickly uploads all of your photos & videos, regardless of how many you have selected. However, this photo app takes up a lot of storage on your phone. It’s really no different from you just keeping your photos & videos in your camera roll to be honest. My main issue with this app is that there is literally no way of your pictures & videos being backed up. I tried to transfer all of them onto my laptop but after multiple attempts, I gave up. I was trying to transfer my files from this app to my laptop for hours but it doesn’t allow me to do so. I can’t trust this app because I lost hundreds, probably thousands of pictures/videos about 2 years ago when my iPhone 7+ stopped working out of nowhere. My iPhone was in this restart loop where there was no way of me manually turning it off or being able to access the lock screen. It was in this loop where it continuously restarted by itself. I was hoping that after the battery died, it would go back to normal once I charge it but it didn’t. I had to replace my phone with a new one. The huge disappointment was when I realized that nothing was backed up into the app when I downloaded it on my new device.

Cloud sync no longer works. I have used this app and subscribed to its premium features for more than a year. Loved the app and the syncing across iOS devices until cloud syncing stoped working. New media will not sync to cloud because of a “cloud storage at maximum capacity” error message. You are then prompted to email the app developer to request more cloud storage. I have done this and was told that my cloud storage has been upgraded to 150GB. Despite this, the cloud sync still does not work. It doesn’t matter if my cloud storage is at 20MB or 10GB, trying to sync anything new will not be successful. This is very disappointing, considering I am paying for this service. To add to the frustration, attempts to contact technical support have been futile, with support only responding (days later) with “have you updated the app” and “we’ll forward your concerns to our developer team”. Don’t wast your money on the premium features, which currently are not working.

Just changed my review from 4 stars to 5 —> I’m pleased with Developer’s response.. The developer emphasizes in the app description that Private Photo Vault employees can’t view user’s photos and videos on the Cloud Vault Backup, but would that privacy also applies to photos and videos on users’ physical devices such as phone or ipad? The developer also mentions that user’s data such as user’s content (photos and videos) could also be collected, if I understand correctly of what it says on the app description. The two paragraphs above are conflicting to each other. Can you explain it please. It would be nice if the app allows user to change the private folder password. As of now, once I set my password for any particular folder, I can’t change the password of that folder. Other than that, I love everything else about the app. I have used it for several years now.

Not a good look. Since starting high school I’ve had a lot of use for this app. Starting in 9th grade I asked my friends what app I should use to store photos and they recommend this however, I wish they didn’t. I went along my high school journey quite smoothly using the app with minor or little problems but now I just finished my senior year and I am about to enter college and my photos are completely erased. It’s been like this for at least 8 months maybe a year. I had two albums inside the app. One for videos and one for pictures. All 600 pictures in the picture album have become corrupted because they all show a standard image. However with my videos I can say that around only 30 out of 130 videos are corrupted. I don’t know how this occurred and I’ve Tried everything to get them back but nothing has worked. Keep in mind when you add any photo or video to an album they give you the option to delete it from your camera roll. I did this and now the pictures and videos are lost forever I guess. So if you plan on using this long term I would suggest finding another app because you will be heartbroken once you see everything is corrupted. :(

Love it so far. The Ap Opens lightning fast unlike the calculator vault that takes forever to open if it does at all and usually takes multiple tries. You do have to upgrade this Ap if you want the Ap to do what you downloaded it for, but that's just business. So far I am very pleased so far. I also like that I can move pics in the folders and edit them there and it's all seamless and very easy, also not available on the previously mentioned Ap. A nice upgrade/Fix would be to have the option to see the folders in a Grid/Window option along with the default vertical folder view and folder auto-alphabetic orginizing would be Stupid proofing what I already do myself. NO COMPLAINTS thus far, I highly recommend this Ap!

Photos disappeared then got restored. Just like another user who seems to have just reported the same problem on March 17, I've used this app for years without any issues. Then one day I logged in and the app acted like I had just downloaded it, and all my photos were gone -- same exact story as "Thedoomsong" user described. I also never deleted and reinstalled, no issues with my Apple account. iOS still thinks that the app has my photos based on the total amount of storage used by Photo Vault, but the app doesn't see them. I've reached out to customer service twice to see if I could salvage the photos and got no response. To say that I am frustrated is an understatement. UPDATE: I never heard back from customer service, but the app did get fixed. I saw a note about a bug fix in the latest release and, thankfully, my photos are back. The folder names are gone, but that's nothing in comparison. Thank you, app developers!! I really appreciate that you got it fixed!

Great App. I just purchased this because the one I was using will not work with iOS11 beta. Photo Vault does everything pretty well including getting my photos imported easily from the camera roll on my phone as well as importing photos from my Mac using iTunes which is the way I always imported large numbers of photos from the Mac. The Touch ID is also greatly appreciated. As a major improvement I would like to see the library separated into a "local" and "iCloud" libraries so the cloud version is automatically and always synced with your iPad. Overall I'm very pleased with Photo Vault. Since I wrote this, I’m finding that my new iPhone XS on iOS12 refuses to work when using iTunes sync. It downloads the photos into the iPhone as if it’s working properly(and taking up space)but the photos don’t show up within the app. Right now the only way I can transfer photos and videos from my iMac is via WiFi sync.

Great but…. Update: Developer pointed out that I could turn this option off in settings. I thought I checked for an option but I somehow missed it. Thank you. I’ve updated my stars as promised. 🙃 ———— When you get rid of the annoying “recommended for you” banner at the top, I’ll up my rating to 5 stars They’re MY photos…I don’t need you to recommend my own photos in a big banner. 🤷‍♀️ It’s very annoying. I have had this app a long time and love it. So easy to organize photos. I wish there were a way to turn off the passcode requirement to open the app. I just like the organization. I don’t need the secrecy. I know that’s the point of the app, but I’d like the option to skip that.

Best in class for photo security. One of my friends recommended this app to me years ago for securing my private photos and videos. I’ve now been using it since 2015, it continues to be supported with each new version of iOS and they provide good customer support when needed. To break down the features that I like, the break-in report and decoy password are really cool. The break in report will take a photo whenever someone tries to get into the app. It is great for detecting snoopers. The decoy password gives you a whole separate account you can login to that opens to a different set of photos. This is perfect if someone wants to know what is in the app. The app has the ability to create a pin for the overall app as well as passwords for each of the individual albums. When you import photos from the photos app, it asks you if you’d like to delete them from the Photos app which is really convenient. Just make sure you also delete them from recently deleted too. Looking at some of the reviews, it looks like people are forgetting their passwords. The app gives you the ability to set a backup email address, so if you set that setup you are fine. Each update brings new features. I’m glad to have picked this one. It is fast, secure, reliable and feature rich. I highly recommend this app if you want a well supported app for securing your photos. I’m excited to see what they add next.

A fabulous app has tanked! DON’T TRUST THIS!. I’ve used this app for years. I used to love it and recommend it to friends. However, all that has changed!!! Somewhere in the various iOS 13 updates two bugs appeared. First, when typing in a new password for a new file, the number keyboard shifted back to the letter keyboard after the first number entry. Second, and far more serious, when a series of photos were entered into a file from the Apple Photos app, the original order of the photos was scramble!!! I immediately reported these bugs to Photo Vault support, and was informed that they would be fixed when iOS 14 came out. Well, iOS 14 came out, and the bugs remained. Being a patient person, I waited until Apple’s next update, iOS 14.1 came out. Still the bugs remained!!! Yesterday, iOS 14.2 was released and guess what? The bugs remain!!! The designers of this app either can’t or won’t fix the bugs reported above. Time for me to find another app to store photos!!! Save yourself the grief of having to move photos to a new storage app and don’t give this one further consideration!

HELP!. Please help! ☹️ I haven’t update this app and says it needs to be updated to work with iOS 14 to use the app but then l found out about the update. So I stopped right there and saw you have removed the iTunes album, that it doesn’t exist as an album anymore. This is really terrible! I have over 500 photos in there! How am l going to move those photos to an album I worked so hard on my photos! And also, did you change the keyboard to enter the passcode? Why?? My passcode onIy contains lowercase letters. I didn’t enable passcode recovery. How am I going to type in letters with that numeric keyboard that only types in numbers? If I update to this version, the app’s keyboard will change and photos I had in the iTunes album will be all gone! This is terrible! l’ve been using this app for 3 years now, I installed this app 3 years ago(August 1, 2018) and I worked so hard on my photos, my photos are very important, how are they gonna come out that perfect again. I’ll never access my photos again because l can't enter the correct passcode with letters. 😭 I need this fixed. 🙁

Tech Support will not reply. First off I’ve used this product for years without any issues. Recently they released Ver 10.3 I believe and it was automatically downloaded and updated my app. I noticed there must have been an update after seeing a much improved editor when I edited a vid. I closed the app, reopened it 15 minutes later and all of my files were encrypted or at least I’m assuming that because over 3,000 pics & vids showed nothing but the grayscale wave in all the directories. That’s it, the only viewable file out of almost 3,000 was the one I edited. I’ve tried texting, emailing, copying, etc out of the app but nadda! I have pics of everything critical in there. My last backup was over 3 months ago. That puts me out of almost a thousand pics & vids. I can’t get a Tech support reply, I’ve sent multiple request for help but nothing. I’m very frustrated that their success has given them a sense of complacency to my need for help. I have almost 75gb of data (+-3000 files)that only shows up as a defective wave. I need those pics to access accounts created in the past few months. BE WARNED-Back up you iPhone on a frequent basis. Help!!!!!!!

Excellent app, just needs one addition. I have been using this app for about 2 years since the one I used to use stopped being supported. I have really enjoyed it. I quickly upgraded to the pro to utilize some of the features like decoy and no adds. It has worked great and continues to be supported and updated. One suggestion I have, the app I used to use made it easy to move photos to the decoy login. I was able to just label the photo or the folder as decoy. Seems like the only way I can add things to decoy with this kne is to move them back to my phones album, then re upload them to the other login. It is really time consuming to do it. Any way you can make a feature to be able to select folders that are available in both the main login and the decoy?

Perfect. I’ve used other photo & video safes before, but this is the best one. It lets you choose between biometric (Touch ID or Face ID) or passcode unlock, and it automatically deletes your photos after you move them if you a hide to do so. You can move the photos and videos in & out of the vault at will. Best of all, my photos and videos are safe. I upgrade my iPhone every year, and for the past 3+ years, I’ve had no problems transferring from one phone to the next, and haven’t lost a single photo. I can’t say that for other similar apps I’ve used in the past, when upgrading from an old phone to a new phone. I would recommend this app for anyone who wants to keep photos & videos private and secure.

Does the job. I have been using this app since the iPhone 5S and recently upgraded to the iPhone 7 and the app works great on both but even faster on the 7. It’s a great way to organize your photos into folders and keep your camera roll clear. I often take photos for reminders or save screenshots and quotes to my camera roll so with this app I can keep those saved while keeping my camera roll reserved for photos and videos I take. I can also keep photos I don’t want others to see locked in this app. I like the added layer of security so that if your phone goes to sleep or you change apps it is automatically locked. On your multitask screen you will only see the lock screen of the app if you exit out.

Feature Request Please!. I really like this app and has been using it for years, this is actually one of the first Photo Apps I’ve used for the longest time. I must say that I’ve never had any issues with the app at all but some small issues that’s not a big deal. Anyways I would like to see Dark Mode, and those big Square Album Icons to see photos better and such. It’s bright sometimes when viewing the app at night or dark places, and being able to view the Photo Albums as those big Square Icons would be amazing! ( Similar to those Photo Albums from Google Photos and such ) would love to see an option for that customization! Otherwise this app is amazing and hope everyone loves the app aswell! I also purchased the Premium just because the developers are great!

Very good storage. Good import & export. VERY GOOD folder system.. The app has GOOD FOLDERS, and keeps GIGS of photos in those folders without losing any of them. Putting on computer using the local app website address is easy & well-automated, but transfers as INDIVIDUAL folders in Zip Format. Devs, please incorporate a Transfer All Folders button if possible. Before this latest update, transferring pictures into the app put them in random order. I had to transfer pictures that in chunks to keep them in some kind of order. This HAS BEEN FIXED in this latest update. The app gives you the option of deleting pictures off the PHONE as they are transferred INTO the app BUT DOES NOT when transferring BACK to the phone. They CAN be easily deleted manually off the app with one or two steps. Another suggestion for devs. Previous versions allowed me to select photos and the select would automatically scroll down if I dragged down. Currently I can ONLY select a set of photos one screen's worth at a time (approx. 28). With over 400 photos per folder, that takes a while with no scrolling. Devs, PLEASE incorporate BOTH scrolling AND importing pictures in the same order they appeared in the phone.

Photo Vault. I would recommend this app for the individual who is constantly taking pics with their cell phone and do not have enough space on the cell to store all of those cherisible memories. I myself am an amateur photographer and digital artist and of course selfies! I have lots of storage on my cell but use several social apps emails and my little sweetie Kitty Bitty. She is a young female cat who’s owner passed away last year. I took over his apartment and Kitty Bitty needed to be taken care of. Photo Vault has given me the opportunity to save many memories that I would have had to delete. I am far from a techy kinda of guy and always looking for a pic and videos that someone wants to view or I want to do additional editing on the many editing apps I have. Photo Vault thank you for making my life easier that sometimes gets frantic. To all get the app you ask yourself how did I survive without Photo Vault Thanks for listening Glenn #bayouboy😎👣

Good App Overall. This is a good app, but could be improved. I'd like to see a sync between the app on different devices. When getting a new device, such as a new iPad, one has to start over, I have not been able to move from the old one to the new with success! Also, as a backup it is awkward, so I do not see it as truly viable for that purpose at this time. There seems to be a hiccup for certain larger images. For example, I have some and when sending or putting back into Photo as a group, the program freezes unless one figures out which is the problematic image and goes one at a time through the group. I see the app's main value as ordinary privacy on each device; I have it on four. It's pretty good for that. I also use it to store things to show others, but wish to avoid wading through thousands of files in Photo. I also like the secure folder within the app for things "more private" or intended to be kept more secure. The photo editing program within the app is excellent. I use that and then send the edited photo to Photo or iPhoto in some cases to preserve the original in both Photo and the app. It's really good for this. JHC

Good app with a few issues. Been using this app for a number of years and it’s totally worth spending the $$ versus using the free one. For only $7 you really can’t go wrong. One of the issues I have is when I imported my family vacation pics they are completely disorganized. I tried several different ways but every time they NEVER import in order and this is VERY annoying as I have to rearrange them by manually. I like to organize the folders in groups as it makes it WAY easier to access, but I’d like to have an option to have folders within a folder. For example: my trip to Houston I have some pictures and video that I’d like to separate them so I’m not searching all over for them. Even within picture folder, it’d be nice to separate my time at the Houston space center with my time in the golf. It just lumps them all together. The last thing is I wish there an option for either a list view or an icon view...and it could reorganized by title or date. When your library gets large, it’s VERY difficult to find the folder you’re looking for because they are listed in the order they were created and NOT alphabetically or numerically. Other than that—great app.

Great app. Great free app for those photos and videos you want to keep private. Easy to use interface. Auto delete option for photos your switching from your camera roll to the photo vault. Pay a smallish fee if you want to add more than two folders or just do like I do and put everything in those one or two free folders Since their doesn't seem to be a limit on how many photos or videos you can place in a single folder. Never used the I-Tunes folder option so I'm not sure how that works but the basic use of keeping those private photos and videos locked up and hidden is great. Also when activating your app usage by the home button double tap the last photo you accessed is sometimes temporarily displayed on the screen before it switches to the password enter screen. I believe they fixed this though.

Great app but has a few issues. iCloud Storage. Everything about the app’s functionality and features are great! However, there are two big issues I have. 1.) I subscribed to the premium version to have to utilize the cloud storage. The description of the iCloud storage option is inaccurate. It states that you can can save space on your your device by synchronizing and uploading all the photos to the cloud so that when you preview the content on your device, it will download it from the cloud without using up the storage on your device. Which in sense, should be similar to IOS. However, when I preview the photos in the app. It downloads the photo to my device and does not remove it after previewing. Ultimately it does not save any space at all. If I wanted to remove the data from my device, I would have to wipe everything off by reinstalling the app. After doing that, I log in, and it will synchronize with the cloud until I open up the photo which then automatically downloads the photo to the device. 2.) I’m not sure if it was because of the update but when I reinstalled the app, I have a problem where I couldn’t connect to the server when I was logging back into my account. I had to remove my 1 year subscription and resubscribe to finally log back in. But doing so prompted a message saying that I would have to pay again after my 1 week free trial. My subscription didn’t expire until August 2022. Which means I did not use the whole year of the subscription.

Photo Vault RULES!. It’s the absolute most convenient way to stash nude pics of my girlfriend, ex-girlfriends, the nude pics of myself that I send out to potential future ex’s, the nude pics of myself that I send out to potential friends with benefits, the nude pics of myself that I keep just for my own pleasure, and nude pics that I have of my mom (she’s got like… sick, long hair…perfect nipples, a big soft bottom, and I like her ears ok too) I also keep vids of myself rocking out with my socks out!… I knit and crochet my own socks and I also sell them online and at local flea markets… I have a whole sock room! Socks everywhere!… Anyway, good app. I might pay moneys for it some day to get more features. I’ll bet they are sick! Sincerely, MABhimself 8==D

Best one I’ve found. I used to have a similar app on my Samsung that was incredible but ever since I switched to my iPhone I noticed I couldn’t find it on the App Store. So I found this similar app and gave it a try, my honest opinion is that it is perfect. If your goal is to keep things hidden ;) and make sure they’re gone from your device then I’d say this app is great for it. Very easy and simple procedure to moving your things from your camera roll to the app’s storage and keeping them secure. I will say it is quite clunky and buggy at times depending on the moving size, it still does the job and haven’t had any problems since. And to clarify I’ve never bought any of the premium stuff so this is all free, although the premium stuff would help greatly more to keep us secure, the free version is great. Overall it’s a great app that gets the job done well and keeps anything you need secure until you want to access it later ;).

Don't trust this app to make backups to iCloud.. I've been using the pro version of this app for about 4 years. Currently it's pretty well developed. The only issue I've ever had was losing 400+ pictures/videos due to the app not backing up to iCloud (2 years ago). I lost my phone while on a trip in Europe, after returning I tried a backup only to find that all data within the app was lost (literally as if I had never used the app before). I tried a fresh backup several times, each with the same results. Going into detail: I used photo vault for 2 years prior to the loss of the phone. I had pictures in my stock photo album that were dated same as some photos in the photo vault. The backup recovered 700+ pictures that were in my photo album (and other apps/app data) ... some dating up to just a couple weeks before I lost the phone. Basically I guess photo vault was never backed up, while just about everything else was? You'd think after paying for the pricey Pro Version and 2 years of constant use, there would be some element of assurance... I have had little use for this app since losing everything.

Best photo vault app. It's clear these guys are improving upon their apps with updates and such. The app itself works seamlessly. You get all the important things. The OPTION for a cloud backup/sync or my preference, everything hard stored locally. They encrypt everything and even have a dummy password capability leading to dummy account/images/video etc. You can edit in the app and transfer to a new phone like I'm going to be doing with the iPhone 13 soon. The ONLY thing this app lacks really, is the ability to change the app icon and name to truly hide what it is. The icon looks like a folder with a lock on it so if a curious eye scans your phone, it's definitely sus but for now, that's why the dummy account/pin helps.

Great app, needs some work on specific features. Edited review -in response to developer response, review updated. Great info and thanks for the feedback, love the app! —- Previous review: 1) “face down” feature doesn’t work (has never worked for me). 2) Really want the metadata/date-time information for the photos. That’s super important but it somehow not available without exporting the photos from the app. 3) the inability to drag/reorder/rearrange photos in folders is a bummer. Would be great to add especially since the images often import out of order 4) the ability to move/synch photos from main albums into “decoy” album for use with decoy folder. For example, a transfer function to a folder named “decoy” on the main access profile. Then, when you enter the decoy profile, you have those photos synced. I do really like this app and it’s very well made. Has tons of fantastic features but for the paid version, it would be good to see some of the suggestions above. Especially since so many others have mentioned these before too. Love the app though and will continue to use it, but making some of the changes will bring it to a whole new level.

The vault you’re looking for. This is it, the best photo vault I’ve tried for iOS. Set passwords to photo albums, photo/video/gif capable, decoy password and more. Runs smoothly, no bugs unlike other apps I’ve tried. Sure, some features are paid which is completely fair. If you don’t like paying to support the devs you can use it with limited capacity for free. After you know you like it a one time payment is perfect. The only downside is while their privacy policy is good, it’s not perfect. Not spying on the stored media is good but no meta data should really be sent. Switch over to securing all your photos/videos by default with this app, and use DuckDuckGo or SnowHaze for browsing. The one included within this app also is lackluster for privacy.

Holds your files hostage. Wont let you transfer to your computer. This app will take up so much of your phone’s storage, it’s insane. I got this app with the intention to back up my pics and vids and perhaps clear up some space in a convenient manner. Ive come to realize, it wouldve been much easier if I had just transferred those files to a computer directly without using this app. Now my pics and vids are stuck on this app because transferring all of them back to my phone not only takes forever, but fails almost every time. This app’s ability to transfer your files to a computer, via wireless or wired, simply does not work. Try it yourself at your own risk. Now i have 2000+ pictures and videos trapped in this app that i cannot get out. I cant transfer them back to my phone without constant complication and this app’s ability to export files to a computer is an absolute joke. I also wasted money subscribing to their cloud vault, which is a joke too. I can’t delete any files without them deleting it on the cloud vault as well, so that was no use regarding making space in my phone either. Also their cloud vault has no url or website, so that basically means the cloud vault ALSO doesnt have any convenient means of exporting files. DO NOT USE THIS APP. They will literally hold your files hostage. They have convenient means of importing files but absolutely zero ability in exporting them. Just think on that.

5 stars over all, but there are some improvements I would like to speak on.. This app is a great way to store private photos and videos that are “for your eyes only.” I’ve been using this app for at least 5 years, purchased the full version.. amazing! The only bug that I noticed (which was quite a while ago) was that if you are uploading a longer video or a medium sized album, it would either stop mid upload or at the end tell you that it couldn’t upload a few of the files and won’t give you the option to delete the photos that were uploaded successfully or show which photos/videos that weren’t. It might have been addressed already, it’s been a while since I’ve added anymore media. Also, from an accessibility standpoint the video playback used is the typical iPhone safari playback which is fine, but it has a tendency of blocking a quarter of the screen. ESPECIALLY if you are scrubbing at a high frame rate. The solution to this if may, (and if possible) would be to use the same configuration as the playback in the FILES app on iPhone. Much like the photos app it shows the reel at the bottom of the screen and you use your finger to drag through the video. BUT if you tap the screen a moment before dragging the reel IT WILL REMOVE THE REEL AND BORDER while still allowing you to scrub through the video without any obstruction. Just my two cents on how to improve an already AMAZING app 😊

I love this app so much!!!. I literally have all of my pictures and videos in this. It’s a very secure app. You can have your Face ID, or a password for it so no one can get in it if you really like privacy. Also, if you have an iPhone 8 or an iPhone with a home button (which I had last year), you can have your fingerprint on it. You can organize everything so you know where to find certain things. You can have a bunch of Albums for everything you can think of, you can title them so you know what they are, and you can move everything around in the Albums so they are fully organized. You can also lock certain Albums if you don’t want just anyone to look at them. Like I said before, I have all my photos and videos in it. It works super well, and it’s very secure. I love the face that people make when they go to photos to look through to see what I have and it says “No photos or videos.” It’s so funny. It’s definitely worth downloading. I recommend it.

Torn About This App. The update to 10.x seems to have corrupted all my photos on my iPad. I had a lot of photos on there but now they just show white squares that won’t open and I can’t export. I’ve been using this app for 3+ years without issue before this update and it’s been great but now I’m really concerned about sticking with it. However - on my iPhone, the update to 10.x hasn’t messed anything up (yet, fingers crossed). Maybe it’s because I haven’t opened it as much or at all between minor updates in the versions 10+ and onward or maybe it’s because I only have 3 albums and a much smaller number of photos. Also it could be that all my iPhone pictures were imported through app extensions while on my iPad I used the web import feature a ton. I honestly have no clue why one device works and the other doesn’t. For reference: my devices are an iPhone XR and iPad Pro 10.5” both running the latest version of iOS and this app (10.3). Hopefully this info can help the developer nail down these issues

Great app! I’ve been using it for years, but.... The app is definitely great! I have used it since 2013. Here’s my thing though: I downloaded it for the first time on my dad’s account. Later on i created one of my own, which was no problem. I’d just go into my dad’s account to download it and that’s it. Last time i changed phones, i had been with my old one for a long time. I downloaded the app from my account but it gave me no option to retrieve the pictures (that, by the way, i had not saved anywhere else) unless it had been downloaded from the same account. I thought it was safe and put it off because i had forgotten my dad’s password. I just re-downloaded the app, from my dad’s account this time, and i cannot find an option to retrieve those pictures. And I cannot find a “Contact us” option. I’d appreciate if something could be done about this. I’m sure i’m not the only person this has happened to. If you, developers, could contact me, please do so.

Taking away features I paid for?. Edit: the canned response says that if I already purchased the pro version everything will work. There was no pro version 4 years ago when I purchased this. And the pro version is a subscription for $40 a year! Give me back the features I paid for! I purchased this app several years ago and chose it over others because of a few features it had. Key word here is PURCHASED…. One of those features was the ability to browse to my iPad from a desktop computer to upload or download images. I always considered this feature to be core to the app and I chose Photo Vault because of it. Well, I just tried to do that and…guess what? Apparently, in a recent “update”, They took that feature away from the app! The only way to get that feature now is to pay a subscription fee of…what?? $40 a year?? Your update even says very clearly that I STILL HAVE ACCESS TO MY ALL LIFETIME VERSION FEATURES! LIES! Hey, look. I paid for that feature as part of my original license. Taking away the ability to transfer images CRIPPLES this app and makes it completely useless. I’m sure someplace in the fine print it says you can take features away but TAKING FEATURES AWAY AND THEN CHARGING PEOPLE TO ACCESS THEM AGAIN IS COMPLETELY UNETHICAL! I really hate the subscription revenue model and think the only reason it exists is greed. Give us back the features we bought the app for!

Awesome app, just one little thing missing!. This app is great. It’s extremely safe because you need a password to open the app and another password to open the hidden albums (if you want to be 100% safe, you don’t necessarily have to). The only thing I think is missing is that I wish the app would save my pictures on my “profile”. Since it’s deleted from my phone and hidden inside the app, you would think that the pictures are saved on some type of cloud or inside the app itself but it isn’t. I switched phones and lost many pictures and videos because I didn’t think of downloading them onto my computer before switching phones. I also hoped that since I use an email and password it would save them somehow but it’s not the case. Regardless I still have the app on my new phone and at least now I’m aware of that so I can take care of it before I ever switch my phone again.

LATEST UPDATE RUINED A GREAT APP!. This was once a wonderful app, with a VERY “private” look and feel to it. That was the original POINT, wasnt it? The update last month completely DESTROYED it, and now it’s near impossible to use without getting seriously aggravated! NOW, when you swipe through YOUR photos, EVERY THIRD IMAGE swiped will result in a full page ad! (And you have to be careful to NOT click on it!). And NOW when you open the app…yes, a video advertisement. A ploy to get me to pay for Premium service? It actually discourages me from using it as I always get ticked off when using it, and I no longer trust the jokers who made the app. Who really cares, because I am currently looking for ANOTHER app that is simple, secure, private, and with NO distracting, NONSTOP interruptions! ….an app that THIS one used to be like! SO disappointing when a developer has the perfect solution for their users….and once they have you hooked, changes it to just another commercialized piece of aggravating junk on my devices that I have to replace... I’m so outta here!

Good. I wish that when I re-add photos to my photo album that it would keep the original date the photos were taken. I use this app to store my work out progress photos and when I pull them out some keep the original date and some just bring it back like I just took it today. I don’t know why some save and some don’t. Regardless, I like this app the best out of all the rest because when I save to it, it asks me if I want to delete the one from my iOS photos app, which I 99% if the time do. It’s more convenient than having to switch back to the app and deleting the photo. It does the job but the ads are super annoying so I ended up just spending the $3.99 to upgrade it to pro. I don’t really need to store videos or the other features it offers, I just really wanted the long ads to stop popping up after trying to view or download every few pics.

Great App. Hey there! Just wanted to drop a message to let you know that I absolutely love using Photo Vault. It's such a great app for keeping my photos and videos safe and secure. The privacy features are top-notch, and I really appreciate the peace of mind it gives me. However, I had a small suggestion that I think could make the app even better. Sometimes, I tend to forget my password, and it can be quite frustrating trying to guess or remember it. So, it would be amazing if Photo Vault could have a feature that reminds you of your password in case you forget it. Maybe a security question or an email verification process could help with that? I believe this addition would not only enhance the user experience but also provide a solution for those occasional memory lapses. Thank you for creating such a fantastic app, and I hope you consider this suggestion. Keep up the great work!

We’re all my photos. I’ve been using this app for about a couple years and broke my phone recently I restore my iCloud but the apps didn’t come up so I re downloaded this app and every time I try to log into my account to get all my 5000 photos it keeps saying that it doesn’t exist this is very sad to me i emailed support and have not got a response at all I don’t know if this is a scam or what but I know I want my photos I have personal and last photos of my mother and other family members that have passed on this is unprofessional once again I’ve emailed private vault and their come back with a response on that is they just upgraded their system to where logging in is a possibility I upgraded my phone from the seven to the 12 it literally did not come like the rest of my cloud apps it logged me out and then told me to login in and when I put the email that I’ve used for many years it sent me an email and said that I’m not even in their system which is a lie do not put your photos or things that you would like to keep because if something happened this app has no concern about your well-being download GOOGLE PHOTOS best app you can possibly have

Best photo app ever!. You can set passwords for everything and finally have your privacy! You don't have to pay for anything and you get all these epic abillities! You have 3GB to make like thousands of albums and add millions of photos, and if you delete any of your photos by accsedent and you don't use recently deletes in Photos on Iphone and maybe IOS/Android. YOU DONT HAVE TO WORRY! You don't loose any of you photos in this app! It also gives you the choice to delete those photos from camera roll, while you add them to your album! That's some juicy proof. You make you albums by typing the password and the name then adding photos and finally your done. Basically 10 clicks to save all of your videos and photos. Anyone can afford this! Anyone can use it! And anyone can have personal privacy! All with a completely free app.

Great but needs improvements. This is the very app I use to store extra photos. I’ve used it for 9 years now. However, it needs improvements. - When I add multiple photos into any folder, it places them completely out of order. This makes it annoying to move them around into the right order. - When I select multiple photos in the recent folder, it gives a white screen with an error message saying “can’t connect to iCloud, try again later.” The only way I know to avoid this is to slowly select photos and not select over a certain amount at once. I feel I shouldn’t have to do this workaround. - About 2 years ago, my old iPad was wiped due to its battery dying during an iOS update. I was able to recover everything else using my iCloud backup, but when I went back to the app, everything was gone. I had probably a couple of thousand images, *poof* gone. There needs to be a good backup option so this does not happen in case of device loss.

Reliable over many years. There may be better photo vault apps out there. I wouldn’t know. I downloaded this one five years ago, got the premium subscription for the following four years, and never really plan on stopping. This is my vault. It has never been compromised, contain redundant security features to guarantee nobody can possibly see anything by accident, and has a reliable cloud storage server. If you’re using the free version, the ads are annoying. Bought premium for the cloud feature but would have bought it just to remove ads tbh. Anyways, after half a decade of never considering a different vault app for photos and videos, I figured it was time to post my respects with a review.

Mac. Great app 🏆 this by far is my go to photo app. Well done would like some more decorative fonts. Don’t rest on your laurels. 2021 - still THE best photo app around. Easy to use, can move photos around in files which is so important when your travelling a lot as I am. Many other apps charge a fortune and miss the mark by miles. Developers :- don’t screw this app up, it’s a cracker and thanks.

Best private photo app. It does exactly what it's suppose to and heaps user friendly. One request though for the next update, can you make a know option for us to add folders/albums within an album? I'm using the paid version so I'd love to have that available. Cheers!

Great app. This is a great app that has worked well for me, my only request is if you can make an option to see the folders as a grid/folder instead of a list view. As more albums are uploaded it can get quite tiresome to scroll all the way down. Thanks!

Safe and Secure. Great hassle free App to keep your “special” pics private and tucked away from prying eyes. The bonus of being able to set up two folders with different passwords is beyond brilliant. You can have one set up with your everyday password, so if your partner snoops on the App, they just think it’s a photo saving App. But in the second folder, with your secret password … we’ll, that’s where all the super naughty stuff is you share with playmates 😉 🔥 Five stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Excellent!. The initial cost I believe is worth it because it's fast and easy to hide pictures you don't want your mum to see. 🙃 easy to transfer pictures back to your library. I use it for gaming mostly to store enemy guild information and win battles. I think the icon could be redone to something that looks more appealing rather then a vault looking thing. Other then that, she is good. Great app please keep updating. Would purchase again. Well done programming team on this one.

Dont use this app. I absolutely do not recommend using this app, I had been using it for about six or seven years, I recently did an update and it wiped every single photo of mine that I did not have backed up out of this app. When trying to contact someone who could help or give any information about how to recover you get absolutely no response.I only gave it one star because I had no option to give zero.

Good product but limited. I purchased this app so I could store my library photos, and then free up iCloud space by removing the native iOS library. Works well for this. Fingerprint good. What could be improved is 1: Switching or erasing phone will remove the photos. 2: very difficult and time consuming to add photos if they aren’t in the IOS library.

Importing photos mixes the chronological order. Great app for storing photos, however I noticed recently that whenever I import more than 1 photo at a time - say 15 photos - they all get mixed out of chronological order for no reason. Was wondering if there was a fix to this other than perhaps deleting the app and removing all my photos on it.

Very Happy, brilliant app. Excellent application. It does all it says it does. It is very helpful to have photos well secured. Added: the app just gets better and better. Very, very happy. Fully recommended. Can't fault it at all. Happy customer.

Needs a little something.. Ive used this app for a long long time and its been great, but i think you should add a recently deleted secret file incase you regret deleting a certain file, and if you do add this i think it’s be awesome to add all the photos users have deleted

Getting tired of waiting for icon change. I’ve been a long term subscriber and I’m getting totally tired of waiting for you to do an upgrade to hide the icon and make it look something innocuous. You’ve promised it for years on the chats and everything. It’s such a simple thing to do! I want to be able to change to an icon that shows that it’s something other than PhotoVault.

Not really a vault. Ive recently purchased a new phone as previous one was damaged. All photos in the vault app are unfortunately no longer retrievable. They are not backed up on a cloud or database, so tread carefully. This is the response I got from the developer - Unfortunately as a security precaution, your photos and videos are only stored on your device and not on any of our servers, if you did not have any backup and uninstalled the app or deleted files, the data is lost.

Was a great app until ads came. I have used this app for years and found it excellent until recently. About 6 months ago, the developer introduced ads into the app. These ads are so intrusive that they interfere with the basic functioning of this once great app. The ads are persistent and there is no way to stop them unless you pay a monthly subscription. Guys, maybe have ads for new subscribers, but it is unfair and poor form to inflict them on long term existing subscribers.

Safe and Secure. Great app for my I phone and I pad. You can move photos into the vault and place them into individual folders and you’re not duplicating them in photos app so accidental erasure is a thing of the past. Highly recommend this app.

Give this app a go!!!. This app offers a secure place to put your confidential photographs so that no one will be able to see what you get up to in your own time, lol! But in all seriousness, try it out, it’s really worth the download.

Far far too many ads on free version. Decided to try this app but gave up as free trial version popped up an ad every few seconds and they are the extremely annoying ones that take you out Not sure how the app owners think you’re going to be able to test it like that and i won’t be bullied into buying it as it seemed to get worse the more pics I loaded in. Also I can’t see how u make folders inside folders Otherwise seemed ok but noting special compared to other vault apps I’ve used.

Great app used for years, 1 major flaw. I used this app years ago on an old phone, I had all my photos of my dog who’s passed away in a private vault, I’ve tried to send a recovery password to my email multiple times and nothing comes through, please solve this issue

Used to be a great app, developer got greedy. This used to be the best private picture app by a long way, I’ve been a user for a long time now. But the developer has got greasy and is moving features to the monthly premium subscription thing I hate recurring fees, starting to look for an alternative because this on is very sadly going downhill.

Still last updates are not working well. Playing back videos are not the same as before. It always gives message decrypting video!!!? Which is never happened before last updates . thanks

Best App. Have used this for years. Simple to use, very handy when I didn’t want people seeing my wedding dress or pregnancy photos. Have recommended it to many friends and family over the years :)

Appreciate. i was use to other apps but that all are really headach cause of too many adds and need to upgrade after few days but i am using this app from 6 years and this is really good and satisfying also really eassy to use, so love this app ❤️

Photos recovery from old phone.. I used private photo vault from 2015 to 2021. But then I lost my phone. And when I got new phone I couldn’t find my photos in the app which I installed in my new phone. Can someone help me recover my old photos from app?? Thanks 🙏

Great app to store secret photos. Love this app It’s great to hide photos that are for your eyes only :) The full version allows you to have as many albums as you like so it’s great for sorting all your pics. Easy to use and I love the way you can customise your pics as well :)

Excellent app but one thing I hate…. Excellent app in that it does exactly what it says. I am a big fan of it but the fact I get a screen telling me to get premium every time I open the app is so annoying as you get reminded anyway by adverts. A button in the corner to bring the premium screen up would be less intrusive in my opinion. Overall a great user experience!

Don’t say a word. Keeps all my private photos with ease, I would have given 5 stars but some videos I save end up error when I try to transfer back to my photo album.

Excellent App. Great for using to clear and store photos very easy to use. Also really enjoy using the effects in edit to enhance photos stored and then re send to friends makes them look very professional.

Low security confidence. While the app itself has good functionality it has suddenly become an add-trap and is riddled with dubious internet adds. Any so-called "secure" app that is flooded with adds like this does not instil confidence that documents aren't leaking all over the internet. If a developer wants to charge for an app and it's a good one I am all for it and happy to pay but security apps should keep to a higher standard than this add-nag tactic.

Can’t access the app. Ever since these latest updates, this app has not let me access my photos. Something needs to be done as it’s concerning storing photos on an app that suddenly blocks your access as a paid customer.

It was better in the past. I originally got this app along time ago and was using the free version which worked pretty well then I did upgrade for a one time payment and it was perfect I had a bunch of extra features for customising photos and was super easy to use, but upon upgrading my phone i got the newer version of the app and I lost a lot of the better features and I am very disappointed there is no long a one time payment as I would have gotten that again but a subscription which I find ridiculous and not worth it. The app still works without having to pay but there is ads that you cannot skip.

Great app. I remember using this app a long time ago, my mum took my phone and invaded my privacy (as mums do) and she guessed the password (it wasn’t hard for her because, me being the genius that I am, I used the same password for everything) anyway she saw pictures of guys dicks and stuff so I’m here to warn you to create a different password for this app, bye😌✌️

Hello mat. Amazing app and it’ greatest one’ it’s very helpful and secure enough .. but peter for the folders to be back before the updates to let everyone choose the new folder position and change their position when it we need to do so instead of orders now auto ordered by itself as alphabetic. Thank you very much for your help.

Gets the job done. I’ve been using this app for about 7 months now and trust me it gets the job done of keeping those few things that you just don’t want anyone else finding out about out of sight, since the iphones hidden photos feature is so easy to access an app like this is perfect for me to use, definitely get it if you don’t want people seeing certain things ;)

Upgraded peace of mind. Sure there are plenty of ads in the free version but it's the ads that allow this company to offer a free trial. Once you upgrade the app it is worth your phones weight in gold. Keep ALL your sensitive pics and videos locked up tight and secure from prying eyes

Private photo vault. An update yesterday looked more like downgrade with Editing features considerably reduced...Bring back the ‘Blemish’ feature and the rest. Now I can’t tweak or remove blemish on photos........😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬 I change over to a new iPad unfortunately my extra feature (Separate Second password vault) is missing after the migration. Could you please advise how to restore it back in my new iPad without have to fork out another payment? Thank you.

I’ve lost access to my photos!. This app promised so much and I put stacks of photos into this app and deleted them off my devices.... it worked fine for a few months and then I try and open it one day only to find it won’t take my 4 digit PIN. Tried everything to get it to open and it wouldn’t. Checked the website in the faqs - no luck. Sent an email to developers - no response. Sent more emails - nothing. I updated the app...still no good. I’ve lost those photos forever and this app is still available to unsuspecting people!!

Disappointed. I loved this app when I got it, so much so I bought the pro version. But after the update I lost all of my photos and I had no settings tab and it was like a different app. I deleted the app and re downloaded it to see if that would help, it made the app back to normal but I still have no photos, I didn’t want to leave a bad review but after messaging them on their website at least two weeks ago with no response, I have no choice. Please make the effort to fix this I know I’m not the only one

Solid app ig. Good for what it needs to do, sometimes doesn’t import every photo if doing large amounts at once only problem with it is the limit on the length of the passcode. It’s not a big issue, but why not let us adjust it or let us make it longer atleast yk

Fantastic App. Love it. Does exactly what I want it to. Reliable. Ticks all the boxes. From the muppets view,( me ), I would advise an early decision on the vault service. 102gb is somewhat, weird. And slow, and frustrating. But that’s me. App is great, never had a breakdown. Thanks team

Great App!. Fantastic app which I have being using for years! Does what it says. And more. Highly recommend to upgrade to the Pro version to support this developer. Please note though that their recent major app update (version 10.0) has come with a lot of issues. I imagine they are scrambling to iron out the bugs as we speak. To be specific, it appears a lot of users whom recently rated the app are reporting issues with instant crashes. Fortunately for me being on iPhone 5s, I haven’t experience that kind of critical issue. I did discover another important bug though. It appears that the major app update has effectively doubled in size the space needed to backup the app’s data to iCloud. Going from approx 1.25GB prior the update to 2.5GB straight after update. This is a big issue as it means I had to remove the app from iCloud backups to keep my automatic iPhone backups under the Free 5GB threshold. Please developers fix this is as soon as possible so I can put the app back onto the backup schedule! Cheers!

Highly recommend. I love this app. So easy to use. I tell everyone about it! I have tried others but this is just so simple. The only negative if I have to find a fault is that it doesn't record the photo time/date. Not stopping me from using it but would be a great addition

Secrecy 10/10. I use this app to keep photos and videos of my friends separate from my usual camera roll. Most people haven’t even heard of this app and the app can be hidden fairly easily on your phone. So combined with the passcode to enter the app or even photo folders inside the app this is by far the best app out there to keep photos private and hidden from nosy parents and others.

Very good app. Fix a few things and I’ll give it 5 stars. This app has worked well and is fairly well refined. But it does lack some things Things to improve - add some new app icons, the current one is very 90s. Even have a custom icon (if possible) otherwise a variety would be good - Fix the broken issue where holding selected photos does not scroll the photo list anymore, this seems to have broken since one of the last updates (primary reason why this rating dropped from 4 to 2) - Retain original photos ordering, this seems to be lost once imported and the album has no method of sorting, such as by date or name or other criteria (5 to 4 stars) - may not be possible but have custom app icon names (this can be circumvented by using shortcuts. - have an in app feedback option. Doing a rating seems to be the only way I could feedback Otherwise a great app and I’d recommend it. Fix these (the star droppers) then provide a developer response so I can update this rating. Cheers

Excellent app for sensitive information. I’ve been using this for a few years now to store sensitive information. It’s all stored locally on my phone so I don’t need to worry about privacy issues. It has all the features I need. A great one is taking a photo directly from app saves it straight to the app, bypassing Photos and its deleted folder. Highly recommended!

Awesome App. It's great to be able to store pics in the vault and then be able to delete them from the normal pic folder without losing them from your phone.

Excellent album app. I can store personal pictures and protect my confidentiality when using this app, everything can be moved back to the main album and it is absolutely easy to use

Very Useful....Please Read. Very good app. Does what it is supposed to plus it has another advantage over the iPhone built in app that in the iPhone App if you create a new album the original picture also stays on the camera roll but if you delete it off the camera roll it is also gone from the album you created. This app provided a good work around for this problem. So I don't understand Apples thinking.

Happy. I really like this app but it's a little annoying that every time you open a bookmark folder and click on something it automatically goes back to the main bookmarks menu.

Excellent app and the data transfers when you change phones!. I’ve lost data with other apps when upgrading my phone. No issues here.

Unable to import some files. I’ve been using this app for a while (paid) and I was working to combine my pics with what’s on my iTunes folder and this app. I exported all pics out and use my computer to combined the pics and then transferred them back to my phone and imported the pics into this app. There is about 900 pics and this app failed to important and it just stopped midway with the spinning message saying importing but nothing is happening. Tried many times and all failed. Seems to be stuck on a few files. Disappointed

Great app (n e a r l y perfect). This app is one of the best of its kind however some things need to be addressed 1) Sometimes after watching 5 of so videos from the vault, videos will stop opening until I restart my phone 2) An option to add folders inside of folders would be very useful and make things much easier to order 3) I believe a notes section could be very useful (Being able to store text) for storing private text such as passwords 4) Some way to back up app info (via cloud? Idk) It’s a very well made app, however addressing or adding these changes in my opinion would make the app truly amazing!

Great. It’s wonderful works great

Photo. Aime beaucoup

Was great before. Upgraded to Pro a few years ago, no long offers decoy albums nor hidden albums. Also remains open in new iOS menu bar s that’s no good. Basically useless now.

Great app. Reliable and easy to use

App Permanently Frozen/Crashed. A few months after downloading I am completely unable to access any photos. The app opens, requests your password, presents an add for a game then freezes. Unsure if photos can ever be recovered - DO NOT recommend

Privacy Issues. Scroll down and review all the things they track. Way to much to justify using.

Regarding the password. Hii , I forgot my password of photo vault.. can you please help me to restore or reset the password.

great app.. Easy interface. good functionality. secure. What else do you want?

Amazingly. Amazing

Great!. It’s a good security measure

Superb. This app is easy to use and has never let me down!!

Евгений. Не плохое приложение

Password. I forgot my password and I don’t know how to reset it, please help!!!!!

LOST ALL PHOTOS. had over 500 photos saved and all the sudden they’re gone due to the new update

Satisfaction. Excellent

Awesome app - never fails. The best

Good app!!. I like it.!

Excellent App. This app work’s awesome for keeping your items safe.

Used to be really good.. Too many ads now affecting the experience of the app.

BYE!!. Now that Apple has a lock for the Hidden Album, this money-grabbing app is completely useless!! SO glad I don’t have to watch your annoying and excessive ads anymore!!! :)

Lost photos. Since last update from 10.3, lost nearly half my photos. Don’t know if will be able to retrieve them back.

Awesome. Well worth the little bit of money. Photo editor is better than the apple default and easier to use. Pics and info are safe and secure and sorted.

Exactly what I needed :). It's perfect, great app!!

Developers sold out. I've paid for the pro version several years ago, which was a one time purchase as a separate, pro version of this app. The developers had removed that version from app store, no longer offering the updates, and had moved completely to subscription based model with exorbitant pricing. Do not get locked in with this app.

Excellent App. This App is dope. Gives you optimism value.

Works for me. I does exactly what I need it to do, keep private info private, while letting me use the rest of my phone in public. Face ID access is great. It would be awesome if it can save your video position when coming back to watch a video. Also, being able to zoom video to any ratio would be great. Thanks.

Nice app. Good app for sure

Doggito. Hey

So far so good. Like the title says, if it keeps working like this, like the app

Wow. I can now hide pornos in there

Lost everything in this app. What a mess

Private Photo Vault. Génial pour cachée des documents, des vidéos et des photos privées. Je le recommande ! Merci aux concepteurs ! 5 Étoiles

Good for free. Easy and reliable app

Love this app. It's nice to be able to have pics that only you can see.

beat App ever. Best media Vault ever with full security and amazing features best one i have ever tried

CANT RESET MY PASSWORD. I forgot my password but it doesn't even give you an option to reset your password or anything.. please help

Très important. Jusqu’à présent je trouve que c’est confidentiel

Bought the app and need to pay for subscription. This is why everyone’s ditched apps like these to just use snapchat since they have My Eyes Only

Become a ripoff. I've had this app for over 6 years now and not only did the ads become more intrusive, but it continues to get more and more expensive. These apps asking for $50 a year are just becoming laughable.

Super 👍. Super 👍

Only wish I could of kept all my pictures.. I like this app but if you delete it or have to get a new phone and down load it again, all your photos are gone and you have to start over…

I lost photos and videos. Don’t DOWNLOAD!!!!!!

Stinks. Don’t delete anything you might want to get back you’ll pay for it Literally The ads are retarded

Overpriced. Was a great free app until they turned it into a very expensive paid app. If you try to use the free version it’s nothing but annoying ads. I would gladly pay a modest one time fee but they want to hold you for ransom every month or every year in perpetuity. Come on guys you're NOT Adobe !

Five star. Great app … works perfectly…

Photo didn’t transfer and no response from company after several emails. I have had this photo that since 2018 I had a lot of special special pictures on there from my marriage amongst other things I bought a new phones in the past and it’s always transferred no problem my phone broke I had to get a new phone I was able to re-download the app but all my pictures are gone and it’s never happened before they’ve always been there because all I did was read down the app that I already purchased I did not download a new one just like I’ve done before and pictures of always been there I’ve sent several several emails trying to recover these pictures no response from anybody should know this photo app is not the best at all all my trust is in this and now all my pictures are gone and they don’t even respond!!

Free version is unusable; not functional enough to pay for. The free option isn’t really an option. After a week of false security, the app gives you an ad about once every 60-90 seconds. The ads are full-screen, have loud sound, require two clicks to exit, and last 15-30 seconds. Perhaps even worse, the ads are so cumbersome that even the app can’t handle them: they make the app buggy (e.g., repeatedly pausing videos you’re playing within the app) or freeze it entirely. When it is working, the app has some good features, like the ability to move selected photos out of one folder and into another with one click (which you can’t even do in iPhoto). But it’s missing enough basic functions (e.g., the ability to have folders within folders, or to sort folder order) that I couldn’t justify paying for it.

Not what I had in mind. It has been years since I have used any picture/video vault application. I decided it was time and did some research online. Photo Vault had decent reviews. I installed the app and quickly realized that it is subscription-based. Further research confirmed that all similar vault apps work as subscriptions. This is ridiculous but another issue altogether. As these apps are subscriptions or nothing, I decided to try the "free" version for Photo Vault. It is unusable, as I am sure it is intended. I decided to go with another option and proceeded to remove my photos and delete the app. Much to my dismay, the app is giving me an error message when trying to move over my photos back to the camera roll. I will try not to be cynical here, but I find this error suspect. I have reached out to support to get this resolved, but I felt the need to give a heads up to anyone in a similar situation in which they want a photo vault and think that it does not make sense to be tied down with a subscription. If so, this is NOT the app for you. I await support's response and will not hesitate to reach out to Apple or the BBB to report this incident if not addressed quickly.

UPDATED. UPDATE: The developer responded and advised the old app I paid for was changed to app called “SV” with a blue icon. I found the app and all my photos I’ve kept for years are still there, so nothing was deleted as I originally assumed. Changing my rating as the developer is very responsive and timely addressed my concern which is a good sign for future app buyers. ...................... Old review: Very disappointed. The app went on to subscription basis and removed their original app from my phone during one of the app updates deleting all my photos and now it’s asking me to subscribe. I paid for the original app. Definitely deleting it and will never come back. I understand the business decision to go on subscription basis for premium features but I don’t understand the rationale behind deleting the old “pay once” version with all the files in it. After trusting and using the old app for years I’m never coming back to this app again. Will now be looking for something similar elsewhere. What a shame! Bye! ✌🏼

Will not “repurchase/subscribe”. I bought this app YEARS AGO like maybe 10?Back when you could do a free version or pay like 3.99 *I think* for the pro. Just got a brand new phone. Fresh start. And when logging into my account it says cannot verify. I assume because I created a new iCloud? But all around seems to not what to grant me grandfather rights. So in other words it’s forcing me to repurchase and subscribe. Like…piss off the lot of you for the rip off. Re-review: 7/8/21 the publisher/owner?? Has told me that i can recover my purchase (from like 8 or so years ago) still cant and wont pay for this app monthly. I have it ob my old phone, still able to log in easy but for some reason i can transfer to my new phone? Every time i go to recover it says “you dont have a purchase or cannot connect to recovery store” something along those lines. So now what?

Web view crashes too often. I bought the pro version ($3.99) a long time ago and this issue is always there with every release. Many times have I written to the app support email but never any response. The developer needs to look at the crash logs occasionally. It always crashes if a pop up ad appears and is then closed (swipe down). It will then crash either immediately or a few seconds later. Other issues are the top of the web window is hidden so that toolbars can’t be tapped, the screen also gets overlaid with a blue select layer over and over again. The workaround is to switch tabs then go back.

Good but got questions. I’ve been using this app for years and it’s great I just have a few questions and suggestions. For one, what’s the difference between the regular and pro version? I did not notice a difference between the two. Two, what is an alternative way to back up your photos without the use of iTunes? Because I had photos on a previous phone and lost them all because I didn’t back this app up on iTunes. Three, a suggestion would be to create accounts or something where your saved images and videos would always be saved whether you back up this app or not. You would just have to log in, no matter what phone you use etc. Possible suggestion, because there’s no option to back this app up through iCloud at all. & lastly please improve app to support 4K videos. I have 4K settings toggled on to my phone for my videos but I can’t transfer 4K videos to this app but it doesn’t support the resolution! This is a must , please add this feature!!

Love the pro version. The free version is good enough, but I really like the pro version. While the security features are nice, and top notch, I’m more into the way I can organize everything versus Apple’s native Photos app. You can’t cloud anything, but there’s a way to run a temporary link through your device and laptop/desktop. It’s a little more involved (for security reasons), but it works. It just doesn’t remember custom ordering (you’d have to rename anything downloaded to do that). While I do not anticipate needing it, I do like the idea of a fake password to open up a private album so that alternate photos show up instead. I highly approve of that form of deception. It’s really not a bad price for all that you get.

Developers, you have 1 error!. AMAZING app btw. Had it for years and it’s been flawless! Although i can add the extra star once this is fixed! This might have happened from a recent update. But the Decoy Login Settings can now see “Break-In Report’s” which now defeats the purpose because the Decoy can see that there’s a “Decoy Login”. This was never there before but now shows up. They can’t change passwords which is great, but Devs need to remove the Decoy Login from seeing Break-In Reports. Only the “Real Login” should be able to see Break-In Reports. Thanks Devs for the amazing product!

Fantastic app, but.... I have the paid app, but for some reason would not let me post there. This is actually a great app. Very reliable, very easy to use. I love all of the features. Keeps my photos secure, can use Touch ID to log in, can edit photos, supports videos nicely. My one complaint that I hope you can change with future updates is to add support for slow motion videos. iPhone enables high quality slow motion video capture, but when I upload these videos to photo vault they play normal speed. (But then when transferring them back to iPhoto they play in slow motion again, go figure). Still my favorite secure photo app I have tried, but if you add this feature it would be perfect!!

This app will hold your phone hostage. This app held my phone hostage. I’ve used this app for yrs and 2 times it has held my phone hostage. This last time it would never lower the storage it took up in my phone even after I moved over 400 pictures and videos over to iCloud. Instead when I backed up my phone and reset it to the back up the app ended up taking up almost 200 gigs on my phone and had my system data taking up over 200 gigs of data. My phone couldn’t even finish reinstalling from the backup because of this app doing that crap. So instead I had to lose over 1500 photos and videos i had stored in there because every time I tried to save them from the app onto my phone so I could finish moving them over to iCloud, it would give me a error message. All I can say is use at your own risk because eventually your photos and videos will become theirs.

Irreplaceable Photos now GONE. I unfortunately hadn’t needed to use this app in probably over six months. Never updated it bc my stupid iPhone never has space. But considering I had downloaded it a few years ago and never had issues and I guess I assumed since it always let me keep that certain amount of photos stored for free that it wouldn’t change. So I need to finally get those photos off and stored somewhere else and updated the app. Wel BAM. Now it’s telling me that not only do I not have an account supposedly since I never paid for one but I guess I’m screwed on getting my photos back? Legit some of those are of ppl that passed. I need those pictures. Can the app creator help me at all? Please this is important. VERY important to me!!!! I’m so upset and angry right now. I would NOT trust this app at all. Well not with photos you can’t lose!

Great App, regular updates. Very useful and well designed. It’s been supported for many years, with frequent updates and good support. The most recent round of revisions in March 2019 (and I’m updating this again in 2022, 3 years later - my original review stands) are fantastic. Dramatically increase speed, better organization and layout, and a better app overall. I’m impressed that they were able to improve on what was already the best of its kind app. It’s hard to over emphasize how important the long-term support of this app has been. These guys of been issuing regular improvements for years and years.

Missing an IMPORTANT FEATURE. I’ve written them for YEARS telling them to PLEASE allow us to play Slideshow with a folder full of videos, and I’m NOT talking about the thumbnails either, I mean actually videos. Please make it so that we can Slideshow a folder full of videos, let all the video files in the folder play, automatically one after the other, and have a repeat and random settings or options. Once a video is paused you can only zoom once & zoom back, let us have more options, pinch to zoom to the size that we need, rotate, etc. Permit AVI files to be uploaded into the app. Offer at least 5 playback speeds. I have more ideas but start there, thank you.

Amazing. I love this app and use it all the time. There are 2 small issues with it though... The first one is that when I am scrolling through folders some photos appear white and I can’t see them. Which brings me to my next problem. You guys really need to add sub folders. I know that I’m kinda a nerd when it comes to organizing things but still I would love it you could make a Folder inside another folder. Honestly, I love this app and I think that it is worth fixing so If you fix these small issues I will definitely change to 5 stars. Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope that this app grows to reach its full potential. Sincerely, ya boi Bubbles

All my photos are lost!!!!. Don’t use this app if you’re human and you might forget your pin passcode some day because you will get ZERO help from support. We moved and I lost my pin and can’t remember it. According to Support, it’s too bad but all your grandkids and great grandkids pictures are gone forever! I’m sick because my 20 year old grandson committed suicide a year ago and now his photos are gone too. Surely there must be some way to crack that thing open just long enough for me to retrieve all my precious memories but if there is, it’s a big secret or else it’s just me they won’t share it with because I was just using the free version. Either way it’s a cruel way to memorialize my grandson. All I can say is Shame on them!!!!!! Those pictures were all I had left. Now there’s nothing.

Love it, one suggestion though.. I love this app, and keep coming back to it. But I would also love to see 3 things added: Sub-folders. Goodness, I beg you to add this. Sub-Folder shuffle. Something like going to the parent folder, and hitting “Shuffle All” that would allow you to shuffle all photos in both the main and sub-folders. Finally, Weighted shuffle. I hit an optional button called “Weighted shuffle” which would allow me to randomize the photos I’m viewing, but in that instance I can swipe backwards and view the previously viewed photo agian or the upcoming one rather than what photo is actually next in that folder. I’m telling you, if you add these three things, you’ll instantly get 5 star reviews from many many people. These features are highly saught after. Mainly the sub-folders thing though. I really want to organize all my photos but having only 1 folder and having to scroll through 100 just to find the one I want everytime is simply too much.

Need recovery!. This app is great except when you delete it or get a new phone the app doesn’t save your photos. I thought that’s what the purpose of having the app saved in iCloud and a password is for. I had hoped if I downloaded the app again and used the same password all would be restored. Not the case. I literally lost everything on 2 separate occasions having to delete the app and then getting a new iPhone upgrade. I even backed up everything with iCloud and still the app reset. I lost so much important info and photos, screenshots and more because of this. This app needs a backup app to restore what was lost - I’d have even paid for that! Thank you :(

Terrible support - App Glitches. Buyer beware! I would seek another photo storage app besides this one. I had over 50GB of important photos stored with this app. Then they forced an update to my phone and I could no longer access my photos. I emailed them several times about the issue and they said they were working on a fix, but nothing else came. They never once reached out to me, I was always the one to ask them about the progress on the “fix” and they always said, “we’re working on it….” They we’re not working on anything. I quit reaching out to them and they never contacted me again on their own. I would not advise using this app unless you don’t care about losing your photos.

Great App But…. I’ve used this app for years and it really has been pretty great. But it occasionally has features (like the option to delete photos you just uploaded) disappear for awhile and then suddenly return. Also, sometimes it mixes up the order of photos in an album so you have to keep rearranging them. Finally, I’m just getting a notification that Cloud store is unavailable and that I should “make sure I’m logged in and connected to the internet.” I’m definitely connected to the internet and I don’t know what it means by “log in.” I’m literally inside the app settings when it’s telling me this so idk what else I would need to log into.

Good but DONT store your eggs in one basket!!!. Definitely taking a star away because this developer will NOT respond. I always back up to two sources. If you are mad that this developer WONT EVER respond because you lost photos that are priceless than I highly recommend you use multiple back up sources. We are too lazy. I guess we need to re visit what we value more: Time or priceless memories! Same for cameras. Take the dang card out and back them up! I know two who lost cameras and a few years of pictures. With the size of cards today, it can easily be a few years worth.

Keeps prying eyes out. Just what you need if you want to keep some photos or videos on your phone but keep others out. Photos of important banking documents, credit cards, or those photos and videos from your honeymoon that you only want to share with your spouse and dirty cousin Samantha and her husband, cuz she's a swinging freak and gets off on that sort of thing. ;) A "must buy" app for every actor, musician, or dutchess who doesn't want their vacation picture in the tabloids from a phone hacking. An update for iOS 11....the app is still great! Who'd-a-thunkit!

geoMan. Just downloaded pro version since it supports Live Photo’s, but still far from perfect. I hope developers improve this app to display and import/export Live Photo with bounce or loop feature. If you import Live Photo with bounce or loop it does not show image, just black screen. And second very important feature is to play slow-mo videos, this app doesn’t not support slow motion, it says unsupported video format. So far those two bugs found will update my reviews later. ...I tried 4K video back up it says unsupported format, I am removing another star for that. It is not optimized for iPhone X. Will wait month or so for update and after will update my review with more or less stars..

Honestly The Best App in the Whole Store. I doubt anyone is going to read this but for my own conscience I need to say that this app is hands down the greatest thing I’ve ever used. It’s beyond simple and is a much much much better alternative to storing your photos in the normal “photos” app on your iPhone. I can make as many folders as I want, transfer photos between folders, move photos to further organize them when I feel the need to be OCD + the best best best part is that it gives you the option to delete photos from the photo folder once you’ve uploaded them to the app, which is so simple yet such an amazing feature. I don’t know who created this but Thank You Thank You THANK YOU!

Video Play back!?. First off, the app is great! would and have recommended to people. However, recently I’ve noticed that when I add a new video(s) to a new folder it appears in the folder like normal but when I hit the “Play” button the video screen comes on but there’s a slash through the play button“\” and it doesn’t play. That never use to happen before. So before I give a full five stars, Can you tell me why this is happening and how you and or I can fix the problem? Thank goodness my videos are sent to the “Recently Deleted” folder on my tablet or I would have lost a lot of videos if this is not fixable. But hopefully It’s probably an easy fix so please help.

Last version was better!. Got up this morning and opened photo vault and it did “auto-update”. Then the app “froze” and glitched. Rebooted phone and it froze again. App worked 99% perfectly before the update. Rebooted phone a 2nd time...major lag opening photos that did not exist prior to update...er...what ?!? Blemish tool seems to be missing unless it is now hidden somewhere, but why have you removed one of the most Important aspects of the photo editor? Make your editor far less useful than It was prior to the “update”. The new “magic” button seems to be an idiot feature for some who can’t adjust things like contrast, light and saturation values manually. Guess it’s ok for a “quick fix”, but would rather not have it at all, if I could still have the blemish remover that is now missing. Edit: issues with pictures NOT showing ( just blank spaces ) is really making me angry. I paid for this app and now it’s considerably Worse than before it was updated. NOT HAPPY! Avoid this app until and “if” it gets fixed.

Amazing app. This app is a godsend, it allows me to store my personal photos and videos of my family and friends and they aren’t out there floating around in some cloud. It allows me to sort the photos into multiple files to separate them into different topics such as Sporting Events, Family, Interests, Misc. Photos, Etc.... I’ve used this app for at least a few years now and I have never had a single problem with it. I advise that all users pay the small monthly fee to enlarge their storage capacity, it is well worth the money. Thanks again to the makers of this app for helping make photo storing a safe and much appreciated app to have.

My Favorite iPad App. Flawless! Even more useful than advertised. Well conceived, well designed, and intuitive. Seamlessly integrates the iPad and PC - wireless or wired. Transfers files between devices incredibly quickly in several ways. Automatically handles housekeeping tasks, deleting files that are moved, if you want it to. Provides file manipulation and handling that the iPad doesn't, and provides file security and privacy, even on a shared iPad. Extras include a rich photo editor, a personal and sequestered browser, and an animated GIF player, a feature glaringly missing in iOS. A must-have program worth much more than it costs! Thank you!

I love this app, and I'd like a new feature for ease and convenience.. I use this app all the time, and I love how secure it is. I've bought the premium version In app purchase, and I'm glad I did. But the new feature I'd like to propose is a wireless copy / transfer directly between devices with the app installed via local network or Bluetooth. Copying all of my private photos between devices was and still is a huge chore or copying, moving, uploading and whatever else. And the photos get out of order and disorganized. So this little feature could help tremendously. That's all. Get this app, buy the premium mode, and enjoy. It's great.

Was very nice at first BUT…. I had used the regular version for years with no problems. Recently I upgraded to the pro/pic safe version. Shortly after that I switched from iphonex to iPhone pro max 12. I had backed up the iPhone X to my MacBook prior to trading it in. Long story short I lost over 2200 files because the app keeps showing a spinning circle , next to it saying syncing 2280 files. And it just stays like that with no progression. And of course I reached out to tech support, if they respond at all, they turn everything around on you , like you planned to lose over 2000 files just because

Lost all photos. I used the private photo vault to keep photos of various trips and family members because it was simply easier than other photo apps too simply name folders with people, my kids etc and videos. When I updated too the new iPhone and transfer my iCloud data the app has crashed and I lost over 8000 photos and videos. I’ve tried to used several third party apps to recover the photos and none have worked. I even created tickets with photo vault and they haven’t helped. I used joyshare to recover the files but i keep getting messages That the photos are corrupted. I still have the originally iCloud backup and iTunes backup and I can’t recover any of the photos. Im highly disappointed. I guess I will just have to learn how to use photos on my phone or find a more dependable app.

Great app, does what it says, but could use a few helpful features. I would say it’s one of the best phot vault apps out there the only two things that I wish it had was the ability to put albums in albums so you can better organize you photos and the ability to add tags on photos so you can search up multiple similar photos from any albums via the tag I would be fine if these features were locked behind the premium because these features would make it the best vault app out their. If they do this or find a better way to organize photos then I would definitely say this app is a 5/5 TLDR: it’s a great, reliable app

Don’t waste your click. I would’ve given the app 5 stars if it saved all my pictures. I’ve gotten 2 iPhones after downloading the app the first time and all my memories are gone. A real slap to the face because I lost the first phone the app was on and lost all my pictures when it happened and the best memories were in that app and I can’t get them back. With that being said, what’s the point of having the app that only saves pictures for that particular phone? I want to be able to open the app and have all my pictures backed up. Or at least have an option to access it another way. Free or not, the app has lots of flaws. Plus reading the pro, I didn’t sense you’d get your pictures back when downloading the app to a new iPhone either. Will not be using this app again on a new iPhone 🤷🏾‍♀️

Good app if you only have a small amount of folders. I’ve been using this app for MANY years. Don’t remember how many but likely 5+ years. Obviously in that amount of time, I am going to accumulate a LARGE amount of folders. I have hundreds of folders. The app offers no way to sort these folders, and there is no way to make albums to store multiple folders. So overtime, everything got extremely cluttered and I can barely use the app anymore or add anymore folders without adding to the clutter. I emailed them a few years ago and they said they were working on UI functions such as sorting and might consider making albums. Nothing every came of these. I can’t use this app anymore until they fix this. Please add albums for multi-folders and it’ll go up to 5 stars.

All my photos and videos were deleted deliberately by the company. Don't buy!. I've had photo vault for a long time. Haven't been looking at it for a few months but then wanted to take a look just now. The app was nowhere to be found. So I went into the app store and it said redownload from the cloud. I did not uninstall this app myself, not even by accident. After downloading the app again, all my albums were deleted and I had no other copies. On top of that they're now requiring a monthly or yearly subscription that is expensive too. So not only did this company deliberately erase the program off my phone but also deleted all memories I saved in there. I have no other backup copies so it's all lost. DO NOT BUY THIS IF YOU WANT YOUR PHOTOS TO BE SAFE!!! THIS COMPANY IS HORRIBLE AND WILL ERASE YOUR OWN PICTURES WITHOUT NOTICE!!!

Photo transfer. After my last phone was water damaged I got a new iPhone 14 and since I did not pay for the subscription none of my photos transfered over. I didn't realize that is how it worked with the subscription service but I have now lost all my photos and in doing so I've done tons of research on how to get them back. My only option is to contact the app "photo vault" directly and speak to customer service but of course they don't have one. They only have an email available in there support department and anytime I try asking a question through it I am sent an automated text in return. All I want to do is get my photos back wether it is free of charge or not. I will pay the money I just need someone to talk to to help me from the app developer and no such option is available therefore I have lost all my memoires.

This is a five star app with a one star bug. I love this app and have used it for years. I have the pro version, ans the decoy feature is fantastic. HOWEVER, as some users have noticed, it imports photos out of order, which is highly irritating, because now I have to import them one at a time in order to be able to preserve the order. PLEASE FIX THIS. Also, can someone tell me if there is a way to re-order pictures in the albums? I can’t figure it out, and I don’t want to download the pictures and the re upload them one at a blasted time! Thank you.

Edited videos revert back to original when saved in vault. I like the app. It does what I need it to for the most part. However, there is one big problem. When I edit a video using the iPhone photo edit feature, and save it into the vault, it reverts back to the original unedited version in the vault. I can save a new clip of a video on my phone and put the clipped version in the vault and that solves that particular issue, but I can’t edit the lighting or anything in a video because the app will revert it back to the original in the vault. I emailed the developer about this issue several months ago and got no response. It’s a shame; I paid for the app, and I’d like to keep using it but this is a big problem for me.

Perfect but. Everything is really really good. I use it all the time. Sometimes there is a bug where it randomly opens the music app. The issue might have been resolved already. Also, I organize my photos in a specific order within each folder. I know it is possible to move photos between other photos for organization if I hold down on the photo for a second and move it. I wish there was a way I could select multiple photos and do the same thing in the order i chose them in. That way I don’t have to go individually photo for photo and take a while to do it. But other than that, honestly, the app is great. Yes, sometimes there are ads. But it really isn’t that annoying.

NormalOne. I love this app. You can make different files and organize your photos. Being able to go into a file, putting my finger on a photo then pushing it where I want it is a really big plus. Helps me organize them. Only problem I have ever had was clicking on a photo, after it had been downloaded, and seeing a gray screen instead of the photo. Solution was to screenshot the photo, before tapping on it, then crop it from the others and reload it to Photo Vault without deleting it. Gives you that option. I am going through all my photos now and making sure they are not gray after I click on them. Other than that, I love Photo Vault. Highly recommended.

Says “Free” But Is It?. The ability of biometrics or Face ID is phenomenal, it makes logging in a breeze. I just wished I could choose whether or not I need to enter a pin to get into my files. It becomes a little tiresome after a couple times. On an another note, the decoy vault concept is very intelligent because someone nosy that’s close to you could easily guess the pin and get in. Or at least that’s how I use it. And I believe it cost extra, like $5 which less than what I spend on a crappy coffee at Starbucks and I bought it without hesitation. It could have been $15 dollars. I love the decoy mode. P E R I O D.

Friggin’ AWESOME APP!!!. Hide the photos of your mistress from your wife!!! Noooooo problem!!!! Got x-rated pics to hide from the kids??? Perfect!!! Got selfies of yourself naked!!! Got ‘em secured!!! NO one will EVER see ‘em if they don’t know your 4-digit pin! Easily put pics in individually labeled folders! (Keep multiple babes separate!) Transfer them back to your phone’s photos without deleting them in Photo Vault. Multiple editing features are terrific! Save edited photo pics without bumping originals. PLUS... if someone tries to tap in a pin and it’s wrong? The app takes THEIR pic... sooooo you know who’s tampering with it! AWESOME all the way around!! LOVE IT!!!

Really? No encryption?!!. As far as I can tell there is no encryption of your photos. So if someone can access the files via your iCloud or iOS backup then they have unencrypted files that they can access and distribute. I hope I’m wrong but other apps with encryption always note that as a selling point and some link to a white paper that clearly explains how and where there encryption works. Also missing is folder within a folder (nested folders) so that you can more easily catalogue and organize photos. I like to store my images by year and within year by month or sometimes by location. I don’t want to have 60 folders when I can have 5 year folders with 12 months inside each annual folder. Really wish they would bring this feature.

Great app continues to improve.. Been using this app for many years and it has been the most reliable and dependable photo storage app I’ve used. The last major version update added encryption… finally and the new cloud subscription service… not something I need or want but thankfully it’s optional. They did however add a much needed feature with was the ability to create a new folder during import. The UI is still the cleanest among the competitors and performance is excellent. It rarely ever crashes. The security and privacy features are solid.

Lost iPhone and can’t recover photos. Hi all, so I recently dropped my phone in the ocean and had to buy a new one. I bought a new phone and began downloading all of my apps over again, “photo vault” being one of them however none of my photos appear in the vault anymore. I’ve used this app for years and even bought the pro version since I enjoyed it so much however it’s a bit of a bummer I’m not able to recover my photos as I had over 3k photos in the app. The app advertises ITunes syncing so I’m wondering if maybe anyone has a solution for me? I saw people’s reviews with similar issues and the app had told them an update would be soon to fix this... that was years ago so I’m hoping there’s a solution now? It also wants me to repurchase the app. Support has not replied.

So far so good!. So I just moved to this new app after the other photo vault (calculator app) I was using was abandoned by its developer leaving it useless for new IOS. This app seems to be great and very seamless. So far very pleased. One suggestion to the developers for future updates….under the app icon it says “photo vault” regardless of what you change the icon to in order to hide it on the screen better. Perhaps that written description of the app identifier can be altered based on the specific icon the user chooses. That will help to hide the identity of the app better.

What happened?!?!. I’ve used Private Photo Vault for a couple of years and found it to be awesome. However now I find I can no longer export pics to my regular photo album. I watched the tutorial and followed it...I can move pics inside PPV but can’t export any to my camera roll. The screen just goes black, no “complete” showing. What happened?!?!?!? AHA!!! Update! I received a response from the developer telling me to make sure I have the most current PPV. I checked my updates in App Store and there WAS one. I updated and everything works fine. This is a great app!!!! I just wish I could change my one star rating to a 5 star...it totally deserves it!

Outstanding. I've been using this app for close to two years and I've never had a problem. It's simple to use, but it's not a simple app. The only thing I have an issue with is when editing (cropping) and you hit the done button, you don't see the final image. You have to save it and then you get the final image. Size does count. Images get fuzzy when blown-up. I always save it to a copy to see how it'll turn out. If I like it, I delete the original. If not, I delete it and tweak the original until I get what I want. As far as complaints go that is seriously minor. I would highly recommend this app. It won't disappoint.

Kara. I have been using this app for quite a while now and i just recently saw the option to put a password on individual folders, so i decided to try it out and made the password very simple just so i could see how it worked, i then backed my password up to my email. The next day i went in and tried to get into the folder and i can't, i had them send "back up" to my email which sent me what the password is, and it's the same thing i had been typing in. Thanks to the app i might never see those pictures again, there's no option to change the password or a reset. i have to say i was thrilled with the app up until this point. if anyone has ever had this issue and figured it out please let me know because i would hate for all my pictures to be gone like that

Great app so far!. I’ve been using this app for a while and still loving it! One thing that I wasn’t sure is to back up to iCloud. I just switched to iphone X and all my photo vault pictures were transferred perfectly although it doesn’t say it supports icloud back up! It was kind of dangerous to change my phone without checking my private pictures will be safe, I was lucky that everything was intact on my new phone. I checked my phone settings to find the Photo vault will be backed up by icloud but could not find it. I’m wondering how did it happen? Maybe I’m using the Pro version? If the developer sees this posting, please verify it supports icloud back up. Thanks!
