## Review summary

Users praise the app for privacy-focused design and ease of use as a reliable vault for private media. However, recurring drawbacks include inability to rename or easily organize files, navigation that resets to the top, and intrusive ads with occasional crashes. Several reviews report data loss after reinstall or subscription changes, raising data-retention concerns. Overall, the app is valued for privacy and simplicity but needs better file management, stability, and data persistence safeguards.

### Pros

- Strong privacy and security for storing private photos and videos in a discreet vault.
- Easy-to-use interface and reliable core functionality.
- Long-standing app with years of use and consistent usefulness.
- Privacy-focused design that helps keep personal media away from others and gives peace of mind.

### Cons

- Inability to rename files; auto-generated numeric labels make locating items difficult and search is hindered.
- Weak organization/navigation features; lack of easy moving/ordering of items; back navigation often returns to the top instead of the last viewed item.
