## Description

File Locker is your private on-device vault for photos, videos, audio, and documents. It hides files from the gallery and file manager and protects access with PIN, pattern, or fingerprint. All data stays locally on your device with no cloud backups, while you can lock items directly from your gallery and import/export from internal storage or SD cards.

Key features include a built-in viewer and media players, a Recycle Bin to recover deleted items, intruder capture to catch misuse, unlimited local storage, and optional ad-free use via a one-time in-app purchase. Share locked media when needed and enjoy auto-exit on sleep to preserve privacy.

## Review summary

Overall, users praise the app for being easy to use, safe, and reliable for basic file-locking tasks, with core features performing as advertised and positive long-term trust. A recurring drawback is data recovery: deleted photos or videos often cannot be recovered, and support responses can be limited. The sentiment is mixed: strong usability and reliability in everyday use versus real risk of permanently losing data after deletion.

### Pros

- Easy to use / intuitive interface
- Simple and safe to use
- Core features work and do what they promise
- Positive long-term trust / used for years

### Cons

- Data deletion leads to unrecoverable photos/videos / recovery not supported
