  1. 5/510 Stars!

    For me this app has the perfect combination of features, and is much more satisfying than the other photo privacy apps I’ve explored. PV is easy to learn and use, the app and albums have many user-selected options, photos can be easily re-organized within albums by drag and drop, each album can have sub-albums, it has the option of user-defined tags, and the built-in photo editor is feature-rich and user-friendly. The UI is elegant and intuitive to use, and my questions to the developer have been answered fully and very fast. I’m glad that it doesn’t have a web browser, and I’m fine with the subscription options. I was discouraged about photo privacy apps until I found this one!

  2. 3/5Terrified to update

    Last time I updated the app, I lost everything. The company claims the updates don’t delete the photos, but it did. Not sure if it was a glitch in the update or not. Otherwise, it’s a decent app, but could be improved. The remove duplicate photos and remove similar photos often miss a lot of duplicates and similar photos. I pay to remove the adds, along with other features and I personally think the subscription is worth it. I love the different albums you can create and the different layouts you can choose for the albums. I do love how easy it is to import the photos from your phone with the option to delete the photos from your camera roll after they upload, and how easy it is to export the photos from your albums with the option to delete the photos from the app. I also love that I can transfer the photos from one device to another and the albums transfer as well. So if you transfer album A to another device, they will automatically appear in the same titled album on the new device. So, you don’t have to recreate the albums.

  3. 5/5Never write Reviews, but this App is beyond worth it

    I don’t usually write reviews but I felt I had to on this one. Before downloading, I had decided to find an app or ‘vault’ of some sort where I could keep all of my movies/TV edits and photos and videos, all in on place and organized rather than all over the place in my actual photo album as I wanted to keep that as my personal camera photos and such. I downloaded about 5 or 6 different apps and went through a few free trials but none of them matched up to my expectations until I found this one. I tested it out first before moving all of my stuff over and wow was I impressed. This is app is so customizable, you can organize anything you want in any way you want. You can change how it looks to your preference. You can change the layout, the folders appearance, they have tags you can put in, you can change the color of the tags, you can choose a cover photo for your album as well. You can also lock specific albums. The list goes on. I can’t wait to see what features they will implement in the future. On top of that, they have so much security and make sure your app is private, it’s amazing. I mean they have fake passcodes you can set up, where if someone puts in that fake passcode all your stuff is hidden, they have an option where if you face down your phone it can urgent switch to another app. They also have break-in attempts where if someone tries to get in they not only record the fact that there was an attempted break in but they can also snap shot a photo of who it was. It’s incredible. They have many options of Pro that you can buy, how many GB you need as well. In my opinion, BUY a membership, it is 100% worth it and I recommend this app to literally anyone who needs it. I have tried the other apps, none of them compare to this one. Edit: I recently had a problem with my app, I think it was my local database crashing due to my phone having low storage. Anyways, I couldn’t get into my app at all so I contacted help, I wasn’t expecting much and was worried I would have to figure it out myself. But wow, they went above and beyond just to help me and we went back and forth and they never gave up until it was finally fixed and I got everything back. I don’t think I’ve ever had such amazing customer service before. I’m very glad I chose this app, and I stand by saying it is 100% worth it.

  4. 5/5Best hidden photo storage app ever!!

    I’ve used several apps that are used to hide photos or password protect certain photos. This one is BY FAR the best one I’ve ever used. I purchased the lifetime membership option and I have no regrets. It worth every penny. I love how the storage space is unlimited. It also has an easy user face. The fake password one is excellent. Just in case someone whose super nosy finds the app and is too curious I can tell them the fake passcode and they would be able to see just the few random photos that I stored in there to disguise what photos I’m really trying to protect. Overall, 5+++++ stars for this one.

  5. 5/5It’s okay but not fully happy

    The app is all around good for the most part, but once you delete it and decided to reinstall it there is no sign in option for you to get your old account yet. Once you delete the app everything you ever had in it is just gone. Definitely not okay with that, at all. I mean almost every app has a back up option or a sign in option. If all your stuff will delete after you uninstall the app then what’s the point of downloading it!?
