Review summary

Users appreciate the app as a crucial, secure tool for documenting atrocities and violence, especially for journalists and those in conflict or high-risk zones. It is praised for encryption and safety features that protect evidence. However, multiple users report technical issues such as app crashes during photo setup, slow photo capture speed, problems saving media to SD cards, and concerns about location privacy. Some users also note discrepancies between screenshots and actual app features. Overall, the app is valued but has key usability and safety concerns that affect reliability.

Pros

Provides a secure and encrypted way to collect evidence of human rights atrocities and violence.
Extremely useful and much needed tool, especially for journalists and people in conflict zones.
Helps users safely document sensitive situations with some level of protection for evidence and location.
Well regarded and appreciated by users from different regions, including conflict zones and areas with corruption.

Cons

App sometimes fails during photo setup or experiencing functionality issues after updates.
Slow photo capture; there is a delay when taking pictures, which is problematic in risky or fast situations.
Issues with storing footage or recordings to SD cards; unclear if alternative storage options are available.
Concerns about location safety; users feel the app should disable or better protect location data to avoid danger in war zones.
Some screenshots or features shown in app descriptions are missing from the actual app, leading to confusion.
