## Review summary

User reviews center on privacy-focused vault functionality as a strength, but repeatedly highlight reliability issues: data loss after updates with photos and videos disappearing, often unrecoverable. Some users question the app's honesty/credibility. A minority still praises the app's privacy orientation and overall sentiment, but data loss and trust concerns dominate the overall impression.

- Positive user sentiment: app described as nice/very cool (Ottimo)
- Perceived strong privacy framing (Top secret, thank you)

### Cons

- Data loss: photos/videos disappear after updates

- Automatic updates wipe data / reliability concerns
- Perceived lack of honesty/credibility; accusations of dishonesty or theft
