  1. 5/5OK but not as advertised.

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

  2. 2/5Designed to be frustrating on purpose

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

  3. 5/5Works Great

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

  4. 5/5Love it so far!!💙

    I love this app very much because i get to keep ‘hidden’ photos i dont want in my actually ‘photos’ app in ‘Safelock’ . Im so stress free and dont even have to worry ab someone going thru my phone and seeinf photos / videos i wouldnt want them to see. I like how it is a passcode u have to enter before you can go completely in. And iy helps save me so much storage in my icloud photos. Any photos i dont want but still want it there at the same time i can js put it in ‘Safelock’ 😁. 100% recommended this app if you are trying to delete photos but u want to keep some that are really important.

  5. 3/5Great app, but problem with videos stored

    This app is great! It lets you create folders, supports Face ID, and even let’s you add notes, but there are 3 things I would like to see changed/fixed in a future update. When I have a video saved on my phone and crop it, and shorten it in the iOS photos app, those changes don’t come over when I upload the video into the SafeLock app, so it adds the un-cropped and long version of the video. I also wish that when I add multiple photos, they all add into the folder in the order that I selected my photos on the add photos screen. I also wish that there was a way to have an automatic backup to google drive or something. Otherwise, it’s a great app and I would definitely recommend
