User reviews

Users appreciate the app for effectively protecting photos and videos, its ease of use, and general value despite ads. However, several users face issues with file recovery after uninstalling or reinstalling, difficulties with PIN reset and recovery email, and that the app only obscures files under a specific extension making them recoverable by other tools. Additionally, the app lacks support for locking files on external drives and some concerns exist about lost or inaccessible files.
