## Review summary

Users value KYMS for its privacy-focused vault and password/card storage, and many report it has worked reliably for years across devices. However, repeated issues dominate the recent feedback: crashes after OS updates, inability to access the media library or add media, and data loss where photos or documents disappear. Additional problems include broken video/GIF handling and a downloader, plus removal or change of useful features (edit/sort/recent folders). Overall sentiment is mixed: strong privacy features and longevity are praised, but ongoing instability and feature regressions undermine trust.

### Pros

- Secure vault for passwords and credit card information (privacy-focused storage).
- Reliable across years and multiple iPhones/devices.
- Core feature to hide files/photos and keep them private.
- Positive sentiment about updates and fixes improving usability.
- Long-standing, trusted app for private media storage.

### Cons

- Frequent crashes and instability after OS updates (e.g., iOS 12, iOS 18).
- Data loss: photos or documents disappearing or being deleted unexpectedly.
- Inability to access the device media library or add media after permissions/OS changes.
- Video playback/GIF handling and the downloader/browser downloader broken or nonfunctional.
- Removal or breaking of key features (edit, sort/find, recent folders) and import order; reduced functionality.
