Very helpful app! I have some important files that need to be protected, and this app does a great job of doing that! Edit: So, I've been having an issue where around 1/3 of my files have been getting corrupted for no reason, and I've been having to delete them as I can't find a way to recover them. This problem has been going on for only a few days, but it's still pretty annoying. Rating will stay at 3 stars until this bug is fixed.

I would give 5 stars however this app is lacking an exclusionary clause for users to either manually enter and/or automatically enters commonly excluded files. I find it can be way to easy to accidentally deleted needed items from the device. Once this option is added, I would give 6 stars if I could. This app is thorough and does exactly what it is meant to do without unnecessary fanfare or bells and whistles.

Has one MAJOR flaw: If you restore an album it will erase your current pictures. That's just unforgivable! Plus side, even the free version lets you do so many things including backing up all of your photos etc to your email, Google drive you name it! But once again restoring a database makes your current photos all disappear. ALL of them! NOW I CAN'T FIND THE DANG PICTURES I LOST! Trying to contact the developer through the app. Edit: they don't care! Uninstalling finally!

I love this app so much. Its really hard to accidentally find the vault and if you really wanna switch to premium you can set up a fake one, setting it up as a calendar and even deleting the app stills saves everything in the vault when you install it back. It was having errors with me one time cause I had to update my phone and I was so scared I lost everything but that really was a lifesaver. Wish I could give it more then 5 stars. First comment ever on an app

This app does a good job at hiding files. If you turn off ur phone midst reviewing them it will ask for a code. If you go to the home page and go through ur past apps it won't show. However I've only run past one problem using this app. It was a few times where I was sharing some photos to people on social media. Instead dof sending the photos I chose to sent it some reason sent photos from the ones I had hidden. It wasn't a pleasant experience. I fear it will happen again.

FIVE ENTHUSIASTIC ☆'s.. & (Two)👍👍 Excellent app. I've certain criteria for these types of applications and THIS particular app covers them all PLUS includes features that are relatively UNHEARD of in OTHER apps of this type. I recently purchased a new phone and thought I'd lost my "locked" files forever. However, "LOCKED" has a way to retrieve the files from the old device, and reinstall them on my new device. ALL the photos I thought were lost forever.. I STILL have! Thanks to "LOCKED"!

Not great. Videos I save keep getting mysteriously deleted. The thumbnail is still there, but when I click on video it says file cannot be found. This seems to be completely random on what files it happens to. I have a backup with the videos that are missing but I am unable to open it. If it wasn't for that I would have no problems with this app.

This is a good app for hidding personal photos but there are 2 problems with it. 1. You have the ability to screen shot the vaults content. 2. The ability to hide this as a calculator is great but if someone is very determined to find anything you may be hiding. If they look at all installed apps in system settings they will see the app as Locked photo vault. I was forced to uninstall this app for reasons and because it wasn't well hidden enough. I can never use the app again now.

The ability to take a picture and hit back button so that it would go directly into the vault is a nice option. However, it also puts a copy into the regular unsecured photo album. Am i doing something wrong? Cant find any options to save my oics in both places. Looks like a bug to me! Help!!!!

This app is an insanely good value at $6.99 for a lifetime pro/premium upgrade. Similar apps charge up to $150 to avoid a recurring subscription fee. And it's not half bad in its ad-based free version either. The two features I'd love to see in this app are sub-folders and manual ordering of items within a folder. They aren't must-haves, but these features would put it on par with the top-tier file locker apps.

Like the encryption and safety as well as the ability to organize. Paid for the upgrade to use other features. But, automatic encrypt camera doesn't not work. I got it to work once, the next day short cut just takes me to my regular camera with no ability to encrypt automatically even with permission Secondly shortcut itself is problematic (calculator) I put it one place but phone restart moves it all the way to an empty screen creating a new screen I have to manually move it back every restart

Awesome app. Only thing they need to improve on is backing up and restoring. I moved to a new phone and their process wouldn't work and customer service was not very helpful just referring me back to their procedures. Anyhow I copied everything one by one and moved it over meticulously but that's a drag. Other than that, app is aces for sure

You nay-sayers are nuts. I like it, have had no problems and don't exactly have cutting-edge hardware. Either store stuff you don't want seen elsewhere or buy a better app. For what I need, it's user-friendly and secure enough. I tried sneaking in like I have through other "private vaults" and have been able to access the content through the phone's operating system, and I'm a tech-idiot. -my 0.02

App No Longer Works and pics do not fully restore. App will no longer open. Pic previews are shown but when you click on the pic it gives an error that the file cannot be found. File was placed in the correct file path to restore. No response received from Developer. Very disappointed and it appears I've lost all of my pics. App worked great when it did work on my old phone.

Easy to use, ad-supported but the ads are not crazy annoying. My only complaint is that when I got a new phone, saved pictures/videos in the app don't transfer over automatically. You CAN do it manually. I wish we could make some form of account, or link it to a phone number or something so when the time comes, it can just be automatically transferred to a new device. It would suck to lose a device and lose all saved info in the app.

I bought the Premium version, but ended up uninstalling after several months of use because the features I wanted didn't exist. Mainly, the slideshow has no randomization, so watching the same order of pics gets super boring and predictive. Also, there's no search feature to filter content by name or otherwise. I ended up finding another app that had these features I wanted. I'd come back to this app if these features are ever implemented.

Ok so until I found this app, I've been super unhappy with the vault apps. This app has changed that for me. The decoy calculator actually works as a calculator and not just the keyboard to enter the password. You can also use Google and other browsers to search whatever and it's separate from your regular search history. Absolutely love it...

This was working great and I thought I would save time by selecting an entire folder in my gallery instead of picture by picture, however, it only grabbed the pictures and not the videos. The videos are nowhere to be found on my phone or the app, so I guess they got deleted... The recovery option doesn't find them either. Please fix this problem asap. :/ I can't replace those videos. Thanks a lot...

I can firmly say that this app works great. I tried a few ways of getting access to photos without the password, and nothing I tried works. You can't uninstall and reinstall it, cause if you set it up with a difference password, it won't even read the backups. You can't just rename the encrypted files to jpgs, cause that shows an error. I tried a few more ways, and none worked. My only gripe is that the pin shows up too quickly after holding down the menu button in calculator mode.

Unfortunately this app gets a large downgrade in my rating. It's a good app and most everything works as advertised... HOWEVER... it's got ads. No problem for me there because I'm trying to learn app and game dev. The problem is that some of these ads will freeze and I can't close them or even get bail to my home screen. I have too restart my phone every time. It's a pain in the assand I'm getting a different locker. Unfortunate because otherwise, it's pretty good.
