## Description

**Video Locker - Hide Videos** is a powerful Android app designed to secure your sensitive videos in a private, encrypted vault. Using advanced 128-bit AES encryption, it not only moves your videos to a secret location but also ensures they remain inaccessible even if your SD card is compromised.

Key features include removal from the recent apps list, automatic locking on device sleep, folder-level locking for individual albums, tablet-optimized UI, PIN recovery, fast bulk hiding/un-hiding of videos, and user-friendly operations directly from your gallery or within the app. The premium upgrade offers stealth mode to hide the app itself, fingerprint login, and an ad-free experience. Your videos stay private on your device without saving to any cloud, ensuring maximum privacy.

## Review summary

User reviews praise the app for strong privacy/hidden video capabilities and overall usefulness, with several calling it wonderful/excellent and noting value in upgrading to Pro. However, repeated issues include startup failures, password recovery problems (codes not received), bricking after updates and payment glitches, and persistent watermarking/branding that cannot be removed, plus security concerns (stealth icon visible). The most impactful complaints concern startup stability, login recovery reliability, post-update reliability, and watermark/branding controls.

### Pros

- Strong privacy feature: hides videos effectively.
- High user satisfaction: many reviews describe it as wonderful/excellent/superb.
- Useful for managing and organizing hidden videos in one place.
- Upgrade to Pro is seen as valuable by some users.
- Generally easy to use and helpful.

### Cons

- Frequent launch/opening issues prevent starting the app.
- Password recovery/login problems: codes not received, or reset not working.
- Bricked app after updates and payment-related issues.
- Watermark remains on videos and Pro branding cannot be removed; stealth mode still reveals app icon.
- Security concerns: not fully secure / not video safe.
