## Description

Privoto's Photo Vault uses 256-bit encryption to protect every imported photo and video, with the decryption tied to your passcode. That means only you can access your data—developers cannot reach it, and the app stores nothing unencrypted on your device. Unlike other vault apps that protect only the app surface, Privoto keeps your files encrypted end-to-end, even offline.

Core features include passcode or biometric locking, offline access, no ads, and easy imports from the camera roll. It supports secure iCloud Sync across devices, Wi-Fi transfers from a computer, and simple host-free import via copy-paste. Premium options add per-album passcodes, safe mode, Disguise Mode, and login activity.

## Review summary

Reviews praise the app’s strong security and private vault concept, but are dominated by price-related complaints: claims of unlimited imports, additional per-import charges, and concerns about privacy and data handling, plus occasional reliability and device-transfer issues. Overall sentiment is polarized: security is valued, monetization and transparency are the main sticking points.

### Pros

- Strong security features: three different passcode options plus per-album passcodes
- Private vault concept with on-device storage aimed at privacy
- Generally reliable performance reported by some users
- Unique UI feature mentioned: Compass-style disguise icon for the app

### Cons

- Premium pricing misrepresentation: unlimited imports are not actually included in the paid tier
- New charges for uploading/importing photos, including per-image fees and post-purchase upcharges
- Downgrade/limit issues when restoring purchases on a new device or transferring data
- Privacy concerns: reviews allege data mining and questionable handling of user data
- Gating essential features behind premium leading to perceived poor value
