## Review summary

User reviews are mixed: many praise long-standing reliability, fast response, and privacy features for hiding media. However, recurring problems—crashes in Settings, data loss after updates, compatibility with newer Android versions, and security warnings—undermine trust and highlight a need for stability and security fixes.

### Pros

- Fast response and smooth operation when the app is functioning.
- Privacy-focused features for hiding photos and files (secure by design).
- Generally positive sentiment and perception of value when it works.

### Cons

- Frequent crashes and instability, especially when accessing Settings, across multiple devices and Android versions.
- Data loss risk after updates or crashes, with locked files or pictures disappearing and difficult recovery.
- Security concerns, including antivirus flags or malware warnings reported by users.
- Compatibility and update issues on newer Android versions (e.g., Android 15, newer devices) and perceived lack of ongoing updates.
